Health and Wellness: Fitness and Health Promotion SHSM
The Health and Wellness industry is growing in Ontario. As the population ages, more emphasis will be placed on careers related to caring for the elderly. In addition, a more health conscious society has created new niche careers in health and wellness. This two year program consists of a bundle of 4 credits in either physical education, sciences or parenting. It also includes a cooperative work placement in a related field which will give students valuable work experience when pursuing their post-secondary goals.

Transportation SHSM
The Transportation Specialist High Skills Major is a two year program
designed to fulfill all O.S.S.D. graduation requirements while giving
students the opportunity to explore their interests in transportation
technology.
Students will have the opportunity to gain
experience with vehicle maintenance as well as small engine and
recreational equipment repair. Banting’s facilities include
two large shops, both equipped with a good selection of basic automotive
hand tools including hand-held diagnostic scan tools.
The school’s proximity to Georgian
Bay provides opportunities for transportation related trades in
boating (repair, diagnosis, sales of watercraft) and the abundance
of trail systems in Simcoe County support the service of groundsport
equipment (ATV’s, snowmobiles, dirt bikes).
