This page is designed to provide an overview of Career Life Connections 12 (CLC 12).
CLC 12 will be run via Microsoft TEAMS. This means that students will receive updates, access assignments, submit assignments & receive feedback through their teams accounts.
The documents that I have placed onto this site provide a snapshot for parents so that they know what to expect as their students navigate CLC 12.
CLC 12 is a unique course. Its year long, its outside the timetable, it's necessary for graduation and its designed to be competency based. The below documents are designed to help students and parents understand the CLC 12 process. Please take time to look them over and feel free to email if you have specific questions.
Below is a list of assignments. These documents are designed to provide an overview of the class work that needs to be completed. Students will work in MS TEAMS to access assignments, submit assignments and receive feedback. If you are struggling with MS TEAMs please come and see me.

The Capstone process is unique to CLC 12 and can be a little confusing. At it's core the capstone process consists of the following:
Capstone presentation: These presentations happen mid June and provide students with the opportunity to summarize their capstone projects. Presentations take 20 minutes and are done in front of a panel comprised of community members and Selkirk Staff. The Capstone presentation is worth 30% of the students overall mark.
Passion Project: The passion project is designed to be a year long project that students undertake. The goal of this project is to document the process that a student uses to attain a specific outcome. These projects are typically based in personal interest but could also be career based. Students present their passion projects during their Capstone Presentations.
Professional Portfolio: This portfolio includes a resume and hypothetical budget as well as a series of professional and educational goals. Students share this information as a component of their Capstone Presentation.
Personal Portfolio: This portfolio includes a personal reflections on Identity and Wellbeing as well as a core competency reflection. Students share this information as a component of their Capstone Presentation.
Capstone Project: I use this term to describe the finished project that includes the Professional Portfolio, Personal Portfolio and the Passion Project. Students typically create a visual presentation such as a website, blog or PowerPoint in order to organize their projects. The Capstone Project is worth 30% of the students overall mark.
Capstone Documents
Seminars are an important part of CLC 12. In seminar sessions students gather information that will be applicable to them in life after high school. To complete this section of CLC 12 students need to attend 10 seminar events. If students cannot find 10 Seminars here at Selkirk they are welcome to arrange their own seminars by reaching out to individuals in their communities that have specific knowledge that could be helpful to them. In these instances students will need to complete the Seminar reflection form and provide me with a name and contact number for the person they worked with.
Upcoming Seminar Dates:
Sept 26th- Post Secondary Fair at Mtn Baker - See Mr. McIndoe for permission forms.
October 5th - University of Alberta Virtual Recruiter Session
October 10th - University Application Process
October 17th - University of Calgary Virtual Recruiter Session
Students are often curious how they should format their CLC 12 Capstone Presentations. Although students can present in a wide variety of ways it is always helpful for them to have some sort of multimedia presentation so that they can project different elements from their Personal and Professional Portfolios (Resumes, Budgets, Goals...).
In many instances students may want to show something they have built or perform something that they have created. This is excellent & strongly encouraged but having some sort of digital portfolio will help the student make sure that they have completed all the different capstone components.
Below is an example of a Google Site that I have created as an example. This site includes some of the assessment documents that students should consult when building their own digital presentations. Students are welcome to use whatever program they are most comfortable with. Students will have to opportunity to attend STORM time sessions where I will go over how to use Google Sites & MS Sharepoint in order to create Capstone portfolios.
Below are a series of documents that students & parents might find helpful. If you require additional clarification please email me or come to counselling and make an appointment.
