Challenge Yourself!

Advanced Placement is a program that offers students the opportunity to participate in a more challenging academic program whose ultimate goal is to give students the option to take standardized Advanced Placement exams in Grade 12.

Depending on the results and the university, students may receive advanced standing or university credit in first year.

Is AP Right for Me?

LAKEHEAD PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Are you: • an independent and motivated learner with a strong work ethic?

• an avid reader and effective communicator?

• a strong critical and creative thinker who enjoys solving problems and analyzing how things work?

• curious about the world around you and eager to challenge yourself to expand your learning in high school?

Students interested in Advanced Placement will begin taking Pre-AP courses in Grade 9.

These courses, in addition to covering The Ontario Curriculum, will be enriched academic courses with the goal of exposing students to the vocabulary and style of AP examinations.

It should be noted that students will be evaluated in exactly the same way as students in the regular academic stream; the expectations are not greater. The difference is that students will encounter more sophisticated content. These courses will naturally lead to Grade 12 AP courses, at the end of which the students will have the option of writing the AP Examinations, which occur in May each year. For more information about Advanced Placement, please contact Student Services at either Westgate CVI or Hammarskjold HS.

PLEASE DON’T FEED THE GEESE

Chippewa Park Camping

Our City parks are getting overrun by geese who soil and pollute the landscape, costing taxpayers money annually to rid the parks of goose droppings and to re-sod and seed ravaged grass.

Excessive quantities of goose droppings also make it difficult for families to use parkland to picnic, walk, cycle, golf, play sports, or otherwise enjoy themselves.

We all love wildlife, but by feeding geese we discourage them from migrating south, thereby removing natural population controls.

Feeding Canada Geese has put us in a fowl situation

“Please Don’t Feed Them”.
