Grade 11 and 12 students in our Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs recently stepped out of the classroom and into exciting hands-on learning during Sector-Partner Experience Days with local community partners.
Health and Wellness SHSM students from Monsignor John Pereyma Catholic Secondary School visited the Lakeridge Health Foundation for an inspiring day. They tackled a creative challenge to boost awareness and participation among young donors, explored career opportunities in the non-profit sector, and wrapped up with a behind-the-scenes hospital tour showcasing areas transformed by donor generosity.
Meanwhile, St. Mary Catholic Secondary School students in the Transportation SHSM headed to the College of Carpenters and Allied Trades Inc. Their day included building a scaffold in a hands-on challenge, touring state-of-the-art facilities, learning about apprenticeship pathways, and earning an official scaffold certification - a valuable step toward future careers in skilled trades!
SHSM is a specialized high school that allows students to earn their Ontario Secondary School Diploma while focusing on a specific economic sector. Contact your school's Guidance Department to learn more about the SHSM programs available to you.
