Grade 11 TFJ 3C/E1
Mr. J. Carter
Welcome to Grade 11 Hospitality & Tourism! As might be expected, this course calls for hard work, creativity,
imagination, participation, teamwork and most importantly, discipline. We are here to work together as a team, to
share and explore ideas, to learn from others and to have FUN! In order for these things to happen, here are a few
simple but vital expectations...
1.
The most important thing you can do in this class is show up. The second most important thing you can do is
to clean.
2.
Attendance is mandatory, no exceptions. Since this course is mostly experienced based, you must be here to
gain the experience. If absent for any reason, it is your responsibility to catch up with your teacher on any
work that may be missed. You are now in grade 10 and should be quite familiar with the importance of
attendance and catching up.
3.
Personal Electronic Devices (PED) must be kept out of sight and turned off during class time. PED’s are
considered safety hazards while working in the kitchen area. You are encouraged to leave your PED at
home or in your locker.
4.
Lates are not permitted. If you walk in to class/lab after the door is shut, you will be marked late. As per
Leger’s student handbook: 1st late=warning, 2nd late=detention, 3rd late=call home. I make an effort to call
home whether good news or not so good news…and I call often.
5.
There are consequences for late, missed assignments and academic dishonesty. After the due date has passed,
a maximum of 10% deduction will be used. Once the closure date has passed, a zero may be recorded. In
most cases, assignments/projects will be due on a Tuesday. The closure day will be Friday by 2:25pm.
6.
The school bell or clock does not dismiss you, I do. It is imperative that you leave the classroom just as clean
as you found it. Cleanliness is of utmost importance. Work clean, cook clean, keep clean!
7.
This class is from 11:00am-12:25pm. Please come prepared for class (jackets, cooking hats, proper uniform,
pens, paper and anything else that is required of you). There is a $20 charge for your own chef jacket and
hat for use in this class. It is your responsibility to ensure they are kept clean and in good form.
8.
The out of class policy shall not be abused. I expect you to be in class during class time. Students are
expected to remain in class and use the washrooms before or after class.
9.
Respect both yourselves and others at all times. This means that you are responsible and accountable for both
your actions and words in the classroom. Student behaviour must reflect safe practices at all times so that
students are exposed to a minimum of hazards. If you are asked to leave the classroom, you will report to the
main office.
10. Loose clothing, rings, hoop earrings, high heels, sandals, jewellery, nail polish and artificial nails are
not permitted in the kitchen area. Your safety is paramount!
11. Within the classroom, students are not permitted to consume food brought from outside due to various food
allergies. Please consume food before entering class. Please eat breakfast on a regular basis.

85% or greater is required on all tests. Students will have an opportunity to re-write unsuccessful tests.
13. There is a large difference between preparing food and eating food. This class focuses on preparing food
for others.
14. Students must not operate and/or use equipment without proper instruction and authorization from the
teacher.
