Anything outstanding needs to be handing in as soon as possible.

4.3 - expolore services or initiatives that support the transition from high school to work or further educating and training.

Research what is available to help students that are transitioning out of high school. You can start with these two websites (but feel free to do your own research):

http://www.nbjobs.ca/explore

http://www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/departments/post-secondary_education_t...

Assessment - choose one of the following:

1. write a letter to a younger sibling or student describing the services/initiatives provided by the school and community that can support their transition from high school to post-secondary education and the world of work

2. create a pamphlet or poster that could be used for other high school students that describes the services/initiatives provided by the school/community that can support their transition from high school to post-secondary education/the world of work

 

4.4 explore volunteerism as a personal development and community enhancement strategy

Research what volunteer opportunities there are in the Miramichi area. Use http://miramichivolunteer.ca/ to get started. Select 3-5 that interest you (if you know of any others in your community that are not listed on the site, feel free to list them as well), and outline how you would go about participating in that opportunity. For example, who do you contact, do you need a criminal record check done, do you need a driver's license?

 

4.5 - we will complete in class

 

4.6 - discuss the importance of life/work balance

Create a spreadsheet/table/checklist/tally to log what leisure activities you partake in over the course of a week. Once complete, look at your data and evaluate the impact each of the activities has on your:

  • mental and physical health and well-being
  • goal attainment
  • skills for work
  • future plans for life and work

Choose one of your leisure activities and create a print or media ad campaign to promote the benefits of engaging in the identified activity.
