Summer School Co-op

Summer School Co-op is full at this time, but could open new spaces, so continue to check regularly.  Henry Street Co-op Teachers are NOT involved in summer school co-op and are unable to support students in finding an employment placement.  However, we can tell you that placements must be procured and shared with Durham Continuing Education by June 1, 2026.  If the placement is not submitted by that date, or is rejected due to distance, hours of operation/work, or suitability, your space will be forfeited in summer school co-op.

COOP SUPPLEMENTAL FORM:

Henry Street High School Co-op students earn credits while gaining valuable skills in a community workplace that reflects their interests. 

If you selected Co-op in your course planner (DCO3O9 or CWE4O9) you MUST submit the Co-op Supplemental Google Form at the same time you submit your myBlueprint course selection.

OYAP Applications

• Level 1 Ontario Youth Apprenticeship Program applications have closed for the 2027 program.  Students in grade 10 in the 2025-2026 school year who are interested in applying in their grade 11 year should begin to build their portfolio for the application, including taking Technological Education courses, volunteering in the skilled trades, and documenting their experiences.

Available Programs:

Applications must be submitted online. The application and program information will be provided by your Co-op Teacher.

Students are also required to enter two (2) teachers names for reference purposes. References will be collected online. The reference form link will be forwarded to these teachers to collect their responses.  

Students applying will be contacted for an interview in late May. Co-op teachers will be contacted with acceptances in early June.
