Thursday morning, students will be completing draft course selections. We have received some communications from families that students don’t know what they need to take to achieve their goals.
These course selections are to help us finalize our timetable and balance course numbers and offerings. Students will be able to adjust their selections in the fall so this is not a high stakes situation.
For Grade 8 and 9 students, this mostly concerns E block classes as there are two cohorts of students, and these cohorts will be balanced by the school for core courses.
For our grade 10-12 students there are considerably more options, and they should be tailoring their selections to their post-secondary plans. This year many Grade 12 students opted to pursue dual credit courses in trades or other areas to get a jump start on their careers while still graduating with their classmates in June. More info on these programs can be found at https://sd10.bc.ca/programs-and-services/career-education/ .
Grade 10-12 students can make an appointment with our career counsellor, Mrs. Wiseman, next fall to ensure their selections will connect with their plans. NSS will also be hosting parent conferences next year to improve collaboration between home and school to best support students.
Thanks for supporting your kids,
Mike Hibberson

Respect Matters
Nakusp Secondary School opened in 1957 and is one of six schools in School District 10, Arrow Lakes. It has a current school population of 149 students and 25 staff members. Students come into Grade 8 from the elementary schools in Nakusp, Burton & Edgewood.
NSS is very much at the heart of Nakusp’s community with generations in the village having passed through the hallways of the school. This means that the community is very generous in the time it gives to the school whether through coaching school teams, mentoring students in work placements, volunteering time in class, sharing expertise or attending monthly PAC meetings.
