A major focus of the program is the integration of computer skills along with independent study strategies. The enrichment program is being extended to grades 11 and 12. Don Bosco is proud to have been chosen as the first pilot school in Metropolitan Separate School Board by the Ministry of Education and Training to develop new programs in broad-based technology. Over the last several years Don Bosco has undertaken to re-shape its curriculum and its facilities to respond to these new challenges. The facilities and equipment used to support this course includes a complete television studio.
Students work with television cameras, computers and editing equipment to produce video programs.
All incoming grade 9 students are introduced to this exciting new program. Special education Students identified with specific exceptionalities are provided with a program that meets their learning needs. The program modifications made by teachers are designed to ensure that all students have an opportunity to learn and succeed at a speed and rate that corresponds to their needs and abilities. Although the option exists for students to be withdrawn for specific assistance the vast majority of our students are integrated into regular classrooms. We are very proud of our staff at Don Bosco especially the special education department, which received certificate of Exemplary Practice in Integration from the Ministry of Education.
