There isn't much information out for summer school yet, but they do have this on http://summer.vsb.bc.ca and I thought it was worth sharing. The signup date is there and it likely opens at 6 AM, like it did last year. Some of the Math and Science courses sell out in an hour or two, so it's good to be on top of things!
How to use Summer School to help your University chances:
1. DON'T take a new tough class in summer school because even if you take it in grade 12, post-secondaries will see your final mark and use it.
2. DO take a course a second time as only your best mark will show up on your transcript. Because post-secondaries don't pull information until you apply the information as to how often you took something is hidden.
3. DO take a course that you feel confident you'll do well in to help boost your "Academic five" courses for applications.
Marks come out the Thursday before spring break, so it's a great time to start thinking about summer school decisions.
