Guidance

The Guidance Office is responsible for providing a caring, compassionate environment that is inviting to all who enter. As guidance counsellors and educators, our role has been organized into three distinct areas:

  • student development;
  • interpersonal development; and
  • career development as it relates to pathway planning.

Our teachers assist students in acquiring the knowledge, skills and attitudes to:

  • Design a personalized educational plan
  • Demonstrate effective personal and social skills
  • Develop a framework for realistic life and career planning in a constantly changing world

We offer the following supports for students:

  • Access to the Internet as well as other support software, interest inventories
  • Labour trends
  • Job search resources
  • Personal Counselling
