Program Planning and Course Selection
MacNeill Secondary School Program Planning Guide
This section of our school website is intended to give students and parents an overview of the many courses and programs offered at MacNeill Secondary School. We offer a wide range of Ministry of Education courses, unique district programs, and locally-developed course options. Please see the attachments at the bottom of this page for more detailed course information from each department and grade.
Students are encouraged to read the online MacNeill Program Planning course descriptions, ask current teachers, parents, classmates and counsellors about courses and think carefully before selecting courses for next year. Remember, we are here to help! Older students are responsible to see that the necessary prerequisites are taken for the post-secondary institution(s) of their choice. Choose thoughtfully - you are planning your timetable for next year and taking important first steps on your post-secondary pathway!
