OVERVIEWStudents use and study technology to create practical solutions to problems – individually or in groups – to develop technical skills, knowledge and attitudes. Technology Education enables students to explore their ideas and gain practical experiences in a safe and supportive environment. Technology Education allows learners to evaluate their strengths and interests in career choices. It also reflects rapid changes in the workplace and allows students to make informed decisions about their future. In Grade 11, your child will need to earn credits in 4 compulsory subjects: English, Language Arts, Mathematics, Physical Education/Health Education and History of Canada. These credits are required to obtain a Manitoba high school diploma. In addition to these 4 compulsory courses, your child will take optional courses to earn the necessary credits towards graduation requirements (a minimum of 30 credits in Senior Years). Students in Grade 10 are encouraged to explore various technical vocational areas and are expected to choose at least one technical vocational course. In Grade 11, students should specialize in the technical vocational area of their choice. The Senior Years English Technology Education Diploma Students must complete 17 compulsory courses to graduate in the English Technology Education Program. Here’s a list of these courses.
In addition, 8 approved compulsory technical vocational credits are required to obtain a diploma in this program. Schools typically offer one of these credits in Grade 10, 3 in Grade 11 and 4 in Grade 12. The 8 courses developed from Grades 10 to 12 form the foundation courses within the specific cluster. Finally, the student must earn a minimum of 5 optional credits to have the 30 credits required to graduate.

For more information on Senior Years Technology Education, talk to the school guidance counsellor or visit the Senior Years Technology Education page. ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTSTo obtain a high school diploma, students must earn a credit in at least one of the following courses:
Schools do not have to offer all three of these courses. When students enter Grade 12, they are free to continue with the English Language Arts focus chosen in Grade 11 or choose one of the other two focuses. It is possible for a student to earn credits for different English Language Arts courses at the same grade level. Before choosing courses, students must make sure that the courses meet the entrance requirements for specific faculties, programs or courses being considered after finishing high school. MATHEMATICSTo obtain a high school diploma, students must earn a credit in at least one of the following three courses: Grade 11 Essential Mathematics, Grade 11 Applied Mathematics, or Grade 11 Pre-Calculus Mathematics. All students can benefit from a general understanding of mathematics for personal and work-related use, and for future plans, regardless of their career and/or post-secondary choices. Some high school students will need in-depth studies in mathematics for their post-secondary education. Therefore, before choosing a mathematics course, students must make sure that it meets the entrance requirements for the specific post-secondary program or faculty that they have chosen. A student may earn more than one of the Mathematics credit in the same grade level. PHYSICAL EDUCATION/HEALTH EDUCATIONThe purpose of the combined physical education/health education curriculum is to encourage physically active and healthy lifestyles. To obtain a high school diploma students must earn a total of four credits in physical education/health education, including one credit in Grade 11. As part of the Grade 11 credit, students must complete a Physical Activity Practicum which involves participation in physical activities based on a personal plan.
