COURSE PLANNING 2025-2026
Course Planning is the process where students choose courses for the upcoming school year. Students must take the REQUIRED courses to graduate while choosing ELECTIVE courses that expand their interests. Students in Grades 11 and 12 may also think about electives that meet post-secondary entrance requirements or career pathways.
The courses students choose during course planning determines the staffing and timetable for the following school year. Choosing elective courses is REALLY IMPORTANT and should be done with consideration and parent/caregiver input.

蘑菇影视-Focused Graduation Requirement
Please watch:
Effective the 2023/24 school year, all students working toward a B.C. Certificate of Graduation (“Dogwood Diploma”), in English or French, must successfully complete at least 4 credits in 蘑菇影视-focused coursework. This requirement applies to students in B.C. public, independent, First Nations, and offshore schools. There is no change to the total number of credits required to graduate, which remains at 80.
Students who have not otherwise satisfied graduation requirements before the start of the 2023/24 school year must meet this requirement.
This requirement does not apply to students in the Adult Graduation Diploma Program.
Students can meet this graduation requirement through a variety of course options, including provincial 蘑菇影视-focused courses; provincially-authorized First Nations language courses; and 蘑菇影视-focused, locally developed (Board/Authority Authorized or First Nation Authorized) courses. Some of these courses also satisfy Language Arts or Social Studies graduation requirements. See the Recognized Course List drop-down below for a complete list of courses that meet the 蘑菇影视-focused graduation requirement.
For the 2023-2024 school year, Tupper will be offering the following courses to allow students to meet the 蘑菇影视-focused graduation requirements:
- English First Peoples 10 (English 10 credit- compulsory for all grade 10 students)
- English First Peoples 12 (English 12 credit- choose between EFP12 and English Studies 12)
- BC First Peoples 12 (Social Studies 12 Elective credit- choose this if taking English Studies 12 or as an additional 蘑菇影视 focused elective)
