Incentive program
SC: SCIENCE 8/9 INCENTIVE
Required: Accepted into the Incentive Program (see description above).
Courses learnt include Life Processes, The Kinetic Molecular Theory, Plate Tectonics, Light and the Electromagnetic Spectrum and Electricity. Learning will focus on the development of scientific skills and processes, critical thought and increased scientific knowledge. A mandatory Science Fair project is required for the Science Incentive course. Incentive students who successfully and satisfactorily complete this course may subsequently register for Science 9/10 Incentive.
SC: SCIENCE 9/10 INCENTIVE
Required: Accepted into the Incentive Program (see description above), as well as full completion of Science 8/9 Incentive course.
Incentive Grade 9 students will cover the Science 9 course, learnt from Incentive Science 8, as well as the Science 10 curriculum. The topics included such as: Genes as the foundation for the diversity of living things, energy is conserved and how the transformation can affect living things and the environment, chemical processes require energy change as atoms are rearranged, and the Big Bang theory. Discussion and debate a common ways to show learning and understanding, as well as a mandatory Science Fair project that is similar to the one they did last year. Students will receive credit for Science 10 upon the successful completion of this course.

(Quick recap of the Incentive program)
The "Incentive program" is an extension program where current courses are pushed to more advanced levels.
-These courses are the standard mandatory classes, such as English, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
-This course is made for students thwhore "above average" or looking for a challenge.
-To join, you need to take a test (date not known) containing the standard course material.l you were already in incentive and haven't gotten kicked out, you will automatically be sent to incentive.
-To stay in the incentive, you must have a straight proficient
- extending grades, any lower and you will be kicked out and reapply if you want to rejoin
