INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Sisler, chosen by Macleans magazine as one of the best schools in Canada! Sisler is the largest high school in
Manitoba and is therefore able to offer you a wide variety of courses and programs not available elsewhere. Many of the following
features are unique to Sisler: First Year University of Manitoba (Calculus Challenge course), First Year University of Winnipeg
English, First Year University of Winnipeg/University of Manitoba Latin, Advanced Placement Chemistry, 10 computer labs, French
Immersion, All-girls classes (if requested), Performing Arts, Pre-employment Program, English as an Additional Language Program,
Technology Education, and most recently, the opportunity to participate in video conferences with other schools from around the
globe, to engage with the Vancouver Film School staff in developing animation projects, to develop cyber security skills which are
in high demand by employers.
Sisler has a strong academic program and has consistently placed in the top echelon in the Math and English Provincial exams.
Sisler offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities that include a first-rate daily Intramural Program and a well balanced highly
competitive Athletic Program. Sisler athletes have always placed highly in volleyball, track & field, curling, football, basketball,
golf, rugby, and cross country. Sisler students have access to a school cafeteria, school store (The Agora), and the first library to be
totally computerized in the Winnipeg School Division. Our Visual and Performing Arts Department has won gold medals in
international competitions. The dance group, Sislers Most Wanted, has performed with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet before the
Premier of Manitoba and at the Grey Cup. Our senior choir and dance group performed before Her Royal Highness Queen
Elizabeth, the only school in the Winnipeg School Division selected to do so. Recently, Sisler was awarded $300,000 to further
develop its stellar cyber security program.
Sisler has also undergone a major upgrading of facilities. A new gym, a computer lab, a science lab, and the Taras Korol Theatre (in
honour of a former teacher who turned down offers from Broadway and Walt Disney to work at Sisler) have all been newly
constructed. Vast renovations have taken place in the library, the life skills area, the Student Services Centre and the
Administrative Offices. The costs totaled $5.4 million.
Familiarize yourself with high school requirements and course content in this book to help you make the best choices. Consider
your teachers' recommendations, previous school experience, interests, abilities, and future goals.

Please Note:
Students cannot receive credit for "S" and "G" courses in the same subject at the same grade level (e.g. History 30G and History 30S).
Unless a sufficient number of students apply for a course, it will not be offered.
An asterisk (*) on the application indicates a prerequisite or corequisite is required. A prerequisite is a specific course which must be
successfully completed for a student to enroll in a particular course. A corequisite is a specific course which must be taken either
prior to or along with a particular course.
The Universities of Manitoba and Winnipeg each have specific entrance requirements. These requirement sheets follow page 38-41
and are posted in the guidance office. Besides entrance requirements there are other courses which will give students a greater
chance of success after graduation. To become aware of other courses, students and parents should check out the appropriate
websites for entrance requirements. Where career plans are not definite, students should select courses that will provide the
broadest span of entrance requirements.
Red River College requires a high school diploma for most of its programs. Many technology programs require Pre-calculus or Applied
Math 40S. Each program has its own entrance requirements. Students should check the Red River College web site for details.

ENGLISH
Sisler offers three programs of study in English: the general-level courses, which are intended for students who will be entering the
world of work or college after high school; the specialized-level courses, which are intended for students who plan to attend
university/college; and the enriched/accelerated courses, which are intended for students who want an even greater level of
challenge. All courses are literature based, with the four language skills - reading, writing, speaking, and listening - practised and
evaluated. Students are expected to read outside of class time, and 10% of the mark in every English course is based on the
Independent Reading Program, which requires students to read books on their own in addition to those studied in class. Students
write a final exam in every English course.
GENERAL PROGRAM
ENGLISH 20F (ENGR 2F)
Prerequisite: ENGR 1F or ENGE 1F or ENGF 1F
Students study at least two novels and one play intensively, as well as some short stories, articles, and poetry. Emphasis is placed
on basic reading and writing skills, communication skills for employability, cultural literacy, and reading fluency.
SPECIALIZED PROGRAM
This is a university/college entrance program. It is intended for students who enjoy reading independently, have good writing skills,
and have a strong sense of personal academic discipline. It consists of one credit at the Grade 10 level, one credit at the Grade 11
level, and TWO credits at the Grade 12 level. All students requesting standing in specialized 40S English for university entrance
purposes may be required to obtain TWO (2) credits in English at the Grade 12 level. The first Grade 12 credit for all students in the
specialized program is English 40S: Literary Focus. The second Grade 12 credit may be either English 40S: Language and Literary
Forms or English 40S: Transactional Focus. This is an interesting but demanding program of studies in English.
Note 1: Students considering attending university/college are strongly recommended to take either the Specialized or
Accelerated Program in English.
Note 2: Students must take the Grade 12 courses in the order indicated above.
ACCELERATED PROGRAM
In this program, students study an enriched course in Grade 10, and accelerate their courses through Grade 11 and Grade 12 so
that in their Grade 12 year, they take an advanced English course for university credit. Students who choose this program are
expected to maintain marks of 70% or better.
The French Immersion Program promotes functional bilingualism. Students are encouraged to commit themselves to achieve this
objective. At the end of four years, successful candidates receive the Winnipeg School Division French Immersion Diploma. In
order to receive the French Immersion Diploma, students must complete at least fourteen credits in French. The French language is
used exclusively in all immersion courses.
Electives:
Electives for French Immersion students will be similar to those for students in the regular program.

PHYSICAL EDUCATION 30F (PHER 3F)-ACTIVE HEALTHY LIFESTLYES, WEB BASED DELIVERY
Prerequisite: PHER 2F or PHEX 2F
This compulsory full credit course is designed to help students take greater ownership of their fitness, encourage them to seek
activities that interest them and to engage in an active, healthy lifestyle in their adult lives. Students will study topics related to
fitness management, mental health, the social impact of sports and substance use and abuse. These topics will make up 25% of the
course and be administered on-line. Students will read material provided, via the on-line course and on their own, and then write
four tests during scheduled times at school in the computer labs. The remaining 75% of the course, students will be required to
develop and implement their own personal activity plan and be engaged in those activities on their own time. Students will be
required to log their activities, reflect upon them and meet with their PE teacher several times to review the plan and present their

PRE-EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM
Sisler offers a pre-employment program at the senior high level. Students are either placed or enrolled in the program
at Grade 10. However, if numbers permit, students can enter in Grade 11 or Grade 12 and graduate with a High School
Diploma. The program is run as a school-within-a-school. A team of three teachers is responsible for delivering the
academics at the G level in Math, Science, Social Studies, English, Family Studies, Computer, Physical Education, and
Work Experience. (adapted when required.) Enrollment in the program is limited to twenty students per grade. The
three classes of twenty students alternate between two months of academics at Sisler and one month at a job site. The
worksite component of the program allows students to explore various career choices that they might be
contemplating and to develop a business/working acumen. Topics covered include: resume writing, cover letters,
interviews, applications, job search, computer skills, and networking. These job-search skills are critical to entering the
world of work on a part-time or full-time basis. A pre-employment application is required for this program.
SCIENCE
The Science Department offers a wide variety of programs that address the needs of all students. A course such as Topics in Science
30S is an excellent general interest level course, while strong programs in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics help prepare students for
post-secondary education at university or college, as well as other science related careers.
Biomedical Certificate
This certificate recognizes the efforts of students who choose to specialize in the biological sciences. Each student will receive a
strong science foundation, allowing them to pursue post-secondary education in the biological sciences. This foundation not only
includes all of our science specialties, but courses such as Bio-Medics and World Issues. These courses help students become aware
of the global impact of science, technology, and especially, biology.

Apprenticeship training combines on the job practical skills development with levels of technical training. Program standards and
curriculum are approved by the Apprenticeship and Certification Board, on the recommendation of Provincial Advisory
Committees, whose members represent Manitoba industry.
Apprenticeship training varies from two to five levels, depending on the trade. The average length of apprenticeship training is four
levels. For each level, apprentices spend 80 percent of their time learning practical skills on the job. The remaining 20 percent is for
technical training which is usually four to ten weeks. Many of the apprenticeship technical training courses are administered in fulltime day classes by Red River College. At the end of apprenticeship training, apprentices write a certification examination and must
score at least 70 per cent to receive a Certificate of Qualification in the trade.
The technical training courses provide instruction in the practice and theory of the trade together with related courses such as
mathematics, science, blueprint reading, and in some trades, welding and machining. Successful results on certification
examinations, combined with specific skills learned on the job, qualify the apprentice as a skilled journeyperson.
An apprentice can receive certification in over 50 trades, many that include Interprovincial (Red Seal) status. The Interprovincial
Standards Red Seal Program was established to provide greater mobility for skilled workers and also encourages the
standardization of Provincial/Territorial training and certification programs.
Entrance Requirements
To enter apprenticeship training, an individual must first find an employer who is positive about on-the-job training and is willing
to enter into an apprenticeship agreement. Apprenticeship Manitoba, Entrepreneurship Training and Trade provides information
and assistance in establishing an apprenticeship agreement, monitors the on-the-job training and makes arrangements for the inschool training. The employer agrees to give specific on-the-job training for the apprentice in all areas of the trade.
For the majority of trades, the minimum age requirement is 16 years. It is recommended that applicants have successfully
completed high school. Because apprenticeship trades involve technical components, it is important to have high school credits in
math and science. Those with mature student status, over 19 years of age, regardless of completed grade level, may be required to
participate in an assessment process. For more information on entrance requirements for a particular trade, please contact
Apprenticeship Manitoba.
Employment Potential
An individual who successfully completes an apprenticeship is granted certification of qualification in a chosen trade. This
certificate, recognized by employers and the public, identifies the holder as a journeyperson. In most trades, a journeyperson can
qualify for interprovincial or "Red Seal" standing if the final exam mark is 70 percent or higher. With this certificate, a
journeyperson can work in other provinces where the "Red Seal" certification is recognized.
