Family Studies
February 4, 2021
The Family Studies courses at Kelvin High School offer a proactive and practical approach to support families. Students have the opportunity to explore issues and experience hands-on learning related to daily living. The practical activities include taking home a Real Care baby in grade 10 and volunteering within the community through grades 10-12.
The goals of the program, as outlined by the Manitoba curriculum, are as follows:
• understand oneself and one’s family
• appreciate the variety and diversity of families today
• acquire knowledge and skills through practice and experiential learning that are integrated into authentic work and home life situations
• gain the ability to make wise decisions throughout life and recognize the societal influences that affect those decisions
• appreciate various ethnic and cultural lifestyles
