We had another fantastic group of Dual Credit students from the Upper Grand District School Board this year – 53 students in all. Each week, I had the pleasure of working with each of these students and they just couldn’t say enough about the program. It didn’t seem to matter what time they had to catch their dual credit bus (6:00am for some students from Centre Dufferin DHS) or how much reading they had to do at night, or that some of their tests were worth 30% of their final grade — they absolutely loved it!
Students say it best, so here is what they had to say about the program…
“I love baking so when I heard that there was a baking course offered at College, I jumped at the opportunity.”
Kaitlyn, CHSS
“I plan on becoming a Police Officer one day and these Dual Credit courses absolutely helped me understand what is going to be expected of me when I come to College in the fall.”
Kyle, John F Ross CVI
“We get the chance to work on so many different types of machines and use various tools – it has helped me so much with my co-op placement at SIHI Pumps.”
Kyle, CCVI
“Thursday’s are the best – I love going
to College!”
Mercedes, CCVI
“I don’t understand why every high school student isn’t taking advantage of this program. Free tuition, free books, free transportation and awesome instructors. What more could you ask for?”
James, NDSS
“It is a long bus ride, but I really enjoyed the different programs that were offered here at the Waterloo Campus.”
Kevin, CDDHS
I wish that we could come here every day!”
Taylor, CDDHS
