CALM may be taken in any school year, including summer school, but will be included in the student’s grade 11 marks’ calculation.
You can only use a subject once even if it is different levels (ie English can only be used once in calculations even if you took two different streams English 20-2 and English 20-1)
Grade 10 and 11 award recipients will be recognized at a fall awards ceremony early in the following school year.
Grade 12 marks calculations are based only on 30 level course marks (final marks and where necessary interim marks will be used in the calculations). These courses may have been taken in any of grade 10, 11 or 12 (see above criteria).
Grade 12 award winners will be recognized at the Spring Commencement ceremony of their grade 12 year. The Governor General's Academic Medal is awarded at the fall Awards Ceremony.
In order for a course mark to be used in the awards calculations, the student must have received a passing grade in that course.
