Academics

During the course of the 2011-2012 school year, Resurrection's Reach for the Top team won the regional tournament for Waterloo, and therefore ended up attending the Provincial championships, where the team placed 13th in the Province. Also, a notable program Resurrection Catholic Secondary School has to offer is UCEP (University Cooperative Education Program), where students in either grade 12 or 13 get to spend their first semester at the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier or St. Jerome's University. This program is known as a specialized co-op and it supplies those students who excel with an outstanding experience. The student is then able to gain a co-op position with a professor on any of these campuses. The Waterloo Catholic Secondary School Board offers a program known as High Skills Major. In this program, the student will receive a number of certifications and will be able to attend many courses related to a specific career path such as health and wellness. The student will also have to take certain courses in your upper years (grade 11 and 12) that relate to this career path. For example, in health and wellness a student would have to take some science courses. It is also a necessity to take co-op, and to receive a placement in the career of the student's choice. Once all these requirements are met, students who participated in the program will receive a designation on their diploma.

Student Council

The Presidents and the Director also appoint a Cabinet composed of Students from the already selected pool of student council members who have shown strong leadership in the past. These cabinet members are referred to as Ministers and each one is charged with leading one of the seven ministries (Special Events, Simple Celebrations, Faith and Wellness, Student Voice, Communications, Community Affairs and Inter Club Council) all other members of Student Council are referred to as representatives. Together student council works to execute multiple events and carry out many initiatives to engage students and enrich student culture.
