Each year, our school administers provincial achievement tests to Grade 12 students.
Grade 12 students enrolled in 30 level courses (English Language Arts 30-1 and 30-2,
Social Studies 30-1 and 30-2, Math 30 -1 and 30-2, Biology 30, Chemistry 30, Physics 30,
Science 30 and French Language Arts 30) write Diploma Exams. The purpose of the
testing program is to:



determine whether students are learning what they are expected to learn;
report to Albertans how well students have achieved provincial standards; and
assist schools, authorities, and the province in monitoring and improving student
learning.
The results from the testing are but one aspect of student achievement in the CBE. In
addition to academics, we consider the overall success of students, which includes the
ways they demonstrate citizenship, character and personal development.
Please note that participation in the June Diploma Examinations was impacted by the
flooding in June 2013. Caution should be used when interpreting trends over time.
The number of students writing the exams varied depending on the exams.
