Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) Programs at CSS!
The Specialist High Skills Major program, or SHSM ("sha-zaam"!), is a ministry-approved specialized program that allows Grade 11 and 12 students to focus their learning on a specific sector while meeting the requirements to graduate from secondary school. It also assists them in their transition after graduation to apprenticeship training, college, university, or the workplace.
Students at Centennial can enrol in a SHSM program in one of two areas:
Arts & Culture
or
Health & Wellness
Students enrolled in the Arts & Culture High Skills Major program will be enrolled in number of components designed to help them connect their in-school learning to their post-secondary goals, while further exploring their passion in the Arts. These components include:
- An 8 credit package of G.11 & G.12 courses, including 8 "major" credits focussed on the Arts, and a 2 or 4 credit Co-op
- 6 sector recognized certifications, including CPR, First Aid, WHMIS, and 3 Arts-specific certifications
- Reach Ahead Activities designed to provide students with experiences related to the Arts field after high school
- Experiential learning opportunities that allow students to experience the Arts in a variety of different forms
Students who successfully complete the program will graduate with a "red seal" diploma identifying them as not only a graduate, but a specialist in the area of Arts & Culture. They will also receive a record card with their diploma outlining the training, certifications, and experiences that student has received while taking part in the SHSM program.

Arts Program
Centennial is entering its 21st year of offering its exclusive Regional Arts Program and in its 10th year of the province-wide Specialist High Skills Major in Arts and Culture. Both programs offer creative students, who have a passion for instrumental music, vocal music, visual art and drama, the opportunity to study with like-minded students, guided by highly skilled teachers. In grade 9 the successful candidates in the Regional Arts Program will select a MAJOR and a MINOR discipline from the following: Vocal Music, Instrumental Music, Drama and Visual Art. Guitar majors will be in a semestered program, and will also choose a MINOR discipline. The new Arts Program model will feature all four Arts disciplines offered on a year long alternate-day model for grade 9 & 10. Each students timetable will feature alternating days for both their MAJOR and MINOR focus in their period one class. The new common homeform will allow all arts students and teachers to assemble in one common area for morning exercises allowing the opportunity to network among each other. Senior students will continue to specialize in their chosen Arts discipline(s) and upon graduation will receive a special Arts certificate along with their Ontario Secondary School diploma. Senior students enrolled in the Specialist High Skills Major will receive a seal on their diploma to reflect this achievement. Our Arts program is designed to enhance the learning and skill development of students who are seeking a career in the Arts and/or are passionate about the Arts in their life. We strive to nurture, mentor, and create opportunity, in an environment that breeds success for all students. |

Experiences in the arts – dance, drama, media arts, music, and the visual arts – play a valuable role in the education of all students. Through participation in the arts students can develop their creativity, learn about their own identity, and develop self-awareness, self-confidence, and a sense of well-being. Since artistic activities involve intense engagement, students experience a sense of wonder and joy when learning through the arts, which can motivate them to participate more fully in cultural life and in other educational opportunities.

EXCEEDING EXPECTATIONS
Athletic Prowess

The Centennial Athletics Program offers students an opportunity to play on a variety of sports teams which are both individual or team based. Student athletes develop sportsmanship qualities while participating in league play, tournaments and championships. Extra curricular athletic opportunities also allow student athletes to demonstrate committment, time management and leadership skills. Centennial has outstanding athletic facilities, boasting a triple gymnasium, weight room facility and sporting fields outside with access to the track and turf field located across the road. Our athletic participation and success are celebrated and recognized both in the community and throughout school events. Centennial's proud tradition for athletics is reflected by strong staff and student involvement as well as post secondary successes from former student athletes. |
