Statement of Understanding: |
The Co-operative Education Department at St Theresa of Lisieux Catholic High School provides a planned experiential learning opportunity for which credits are earned. The programme integrates classroom theory with learning experiences in the community. Co-operative Education is offered to Grade 11 and Grade 12 students in all subject areas. Courses completed successfully, or taken concurrently, can be linked to Co-operative Education. Students can earn up to 2 additional credits per in school subject. The knowledge and skills of the in-school course are applied in a practical work environment. These experiences assist students to explore and prepare for future careers
and make a successful transition to post secondary education, apprenticeship or the work place.
All students who apply for Co-operative Education must participate in an application process. Applications are available in the Co-op or Guidance office.
