The SHSM transportation program at NDSS is unique in our Board due to the fact that our facility has the ability to deliver all facets of the transportation technology curriculum.
Our facility has Auto Service, Auto Body with full spray booth, Small engines lab, and have recently added a Heavy equipment lab and programming.
We can have cross curricular skills development including electronics and coding courses as well as Welding/ manufacturing class. Students will be presented with every opportunity to experience and apply their skills in the community with placements and community projects/partnerships available for them.
Partners and suppliers are willing to come and give seminars to the students to help prepare them for the work force and give them helpful career advice. Sector leads Craig Sindall and Dave Brinkman also have extensive heavy equipment, auto body and diesel experience to relay to students.

Co-Op
Cooperative education provides secondary school students with a wide range of rigorous learning opportunities connected to communities outside the school. It is designed to recognize and respond to the diversity of Ontario’s student population, and it can engage all students.
In cooperative education, students learn in safe, culturally responsive environments in the community, and they are actively involved in determining what they learn, how they learn, when and where they learn, and how they demonstrate their learning.
Students must complete a minimum 2 credit coop in a related course. This can include summer coop and paid coop placements.
Summer coop can happen immediately after a student completes Grade 10.
A student becomes a Grade 11 student July 1 after they complete Grade 10.
Summer coop is a very good option for students who worry that they won't have room in their timetable in Grade 11 or 12 to take two credits of coop.
