Grade 11 Family Studies Students will be practicing their caregiving skills as they work in the Child Care Nursery School throughout the semester. Students will learn about the developmental needs of children. The development of these skills will enhance their overall well-being now as adolescents and in the future as parents and caregivers.
Grade 12 APPLIED Family Studies Prepares students for a caregiving role with infants, toddlers, and children through the study of child development. The skills and knowledge are applied to a 40-hour practical experience with children where students will observe, guide behaviour, ensure health and safety, and participate in play-based learning experiences. This course provides a foundation for further study within the field of early childhood education and related careers.
Grade 12 Family Studies (theory) Students will have the opportunity to learn necessary information relating to personal development, family and significant other relationships. A variety of approaches to relationships and commitment will be evaluated based on one’s personal values.
