Course Selections Q&A Forum for Incoming Ninth-Graders by STS Student Council https://padlet.com/STSStudentCouncil/g9cs To aid eighth-grade students in selecting courses for next year, Student Council would like to answer your questions about courses you are considering.

Please leave your questions below, and a councillor with experience in that class will respond. en-us 2021-02-21 03:03:47 UTC 2021-03-01 21:46:25 UTC hello@padlet.com Double tap anywhere to add your questions to this forum :) STSStudentCouncil https://padlet.com/STSStudentCouncil/g9cs/wish/1222337289 2021-02-21 03:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/STSStudentCouncil/g9cs/wish/1222337289 Challenges https://padlet.com/STSStudentCouncil/g9cs/wish/1247233763 what are some new/different challenges in 9 vs 8]]> 2021-02-26 22:02:34 UTC https://padlet.com/STSStudentCouncil/g9cs/wish/1247233763 Will we get to pick a fine arts option next year? https://padlet.com/STSStudentCouncil/g9cs/wish/1247239392 That will depend on Covid as usually they want us to stay with our homerooms. Hopefully we will have more information on that soon but until then enjoy having the opportunity to try everything!

This year you will have the same advisory system as grade 8. The council was discussing maybe changing this system a bit so if you have any feedback feel free to email me at shajans@sts.ab.ca. The system changes when you enter grade 10 and the advisors you have will be with you all throughout high school.

That will depend on Covid. Usually you would pick which one you wanted to do for half semesters but now you may still have to rotate through.
