In several of these courses' students will have the opportunity to create optional projects beyond the required curriculum. A fee will be charged for materials should students choose to complete these optional projects
Drafting 9
This course introduces various introductory information and skills about Drafting processes and techniques. Throughout the course, we cover areas such as traditional hand drafting, 3D modeling, 2D CAD drawing, and 3D printing. Students will learn valuable skills and information regarding architecture, the design process, CAD, interior design and much more! Students will have the opportunity to use and learn with equipment such as 3D printers, laser cutters, vinyl cutters, t-shirt presses and more. Students will learn real world theory and skills that are used in the Drafting industry.
Electronics and Robotics 9
This is an introductory course where students will learn about different electronic components and the many circuits in which they are found. Students will have the opportunity to produce various projects starting with computer design and progressing through all construction stages to the finished project contained and mounted in an enclosure. Some theory work will also be done covering such topics as circuit analysis, Ohm’s Law and how to trouble shoot faulty circuits. Optional projects are available.
General Trades Foundations 9
This course is an introduction to building trades and techniques and using those techniques to create projects to compete against each other. Students will use power tools to create competition projects as well as learn the basics of house framing and electrical wiring. Some projects may include PVC bow making, magnetic levitation racers, ping pong ball launchers and electronic masks.
Woodworking 9
Students will build real-world projects starting with simple hand tool projects and progressing to projects built mainly using power tools. In the process, students will learn correct and safe use of both hand and power tools, and basic principles of design.
Automotive Technology 11 (Open to students in grades 11 & 12 only)
This course is designed to provide a basic education in areas related to the automotive industry. Students in grades 11 and 12 are permitted as much latitude as possible to develop their skills from a general interest or a career point of view. This course is a combination of related theory and practical experience. Emphasis is on the general concepts and theories as well as correct use of tools and equipment used in the maintenance and repair of automobiles. OFF CAMPUS at Centennial.
Woodwork 11
This wood course stresses efficient methods of building projects using hand and machine processes. Initial projects will challenge students to demonstrate their ability at keeping wood joints tight and project parts square. Special skills and setups will be used in the production of projects for personal use. Mass production techniques will be included where applicable. Optional projects are available.
Drafting 11
This course gives students the theory and skills they need to successfully navigate the world of Drafting and Design! Students will learn traditional hand drafting and how to use industry programs such as AutoCAD and Fusion 360. Architecture design will be covered, and students will go through the entire process of creating layouts of homes and then 3D modeling these structures. Students will learn theory of interior design and the design process and show how to apply it to the real-world scenarios. Students will also learn how to develop prototypes of products and get the chance to create them using 3D printers and laser cutters.
Electronics 11

Woodwork 12
This course builds on the skills taught in Woodwork 11. Designs, plans, and bills of materials will be required when constructing individualized custom projects or group mass-produced projects. A unit on construction building standards and methods will be included. Optional projects are available.
Drafting 12
This course will build upon the concepts learned from Drafting 9 and 11. Students will expand their knowledge of traditional hand drafting and use of industry computer programs like AutoCAD and Fusion 360. Technology such as 3D printers and laser cutters will be used to showcase knowledge and skills learned throughout the course. Areas such as interior design, product design and development, architecture, 2D modeling and 3D modeling will be covered. Students will have the opportunity to explore areas of Drafting that interest them and experiment with the knowledge and skills that they develop along the way.
Foundations in Trades 11 (formally Skills Exploration 11A)
Students may take this course in Grade 10, 11 or 12. Students learn trades and technology skills and earn credit towards secondary school graduation. This course allows students to explore trades or technology careers. Trades covered include Electrical, Plumbing,and Carpentry and may also include one or more of Joinery, Drafting, Painting, Welding and Steel-stud and T-Bar ceiling (lathing).
This course is an excellent introduction to the apprenticeship training program and offered in conjunction with the Ministry of Education and the Industry Training Authority (ITA). The ITA awards provincial credentials (Certificates of Qualification and Red Seal Designation). There are no prerequisites for this course.
Automotive Technology 12
This course is designed for the student who wishes to pursue a career in the automotive service industry and will follow the Post-Secondary curriculum prescribed for level one apprentices within the mechanical repair trades. Theory is studied in-depth and practical competency is required. OFF CAMPUS at Centennial.
Prerequisite: Automotive Technology 11
Electronics 12
This is an advanced course for students who have had past electronics courses. Students will have an opportunity to complete more involved project work as well as learn about topics such as digital electronics, rectification, AC theory, motors and electrical building standards. Optional projects are available.
