Note:
The term practical refers to any musical instrument on
which performance is examined. It includes voice (i.e.,
singing), but not speech arts.
The mark credited to the student is calculated by
averaging the marks that the student has earned in the
practical component and in rudiments or theory, as the
case may be.

Option 2
Students may be awarded music credits (a maximum of
2 credits in Grades 10-12) through the PLAR challenge
process. Music credits granted through the PLAR
process may be used to meet the compulsory credit
requirement in the arts or the additional compulsory
credit requirement for Group 2. They may also be used to
satisfy the related course requirement for a cooperative
education program. Please note that Havergal does not
offer the PLAR challenge process.
PROCEDURES FOR STUDENTS
WHO FAIL TO MEET COURSE
EXPECTATIONS (OS 7.5)
Where a student does not achieve the curriculum
expectations of a course, the Principal and teaching
staff, in consultation with the parents and the student,
will determine what type of program would best enable
the student to meet the expectations and earn credit
for the course. Havergal does not offer a credit recovery
program.
A student who fails or withdraws from a compulsory credit
course will be informed of the consequences for meeting
diploma requirements. The program options available
to meet the requirements will be outlined and possible
alternative courses identified.
