We offer counselling in a friendly, non-judgmental environment,
in the following areas:
Academic Counselling
Students can talk to a counsellor
regarding their course selection options, problems with a course, extra help or
any other academic issue.
Career Counselling
Guidance counsellors help students
understand the pathways to the many career options available, including
questions about which courses are needed in high school for a particular
career, other (non-academic) entrance requirements, such as portfolios,
supplementary application forms and requirements for apprenticeship programs.
Personal
Counselling
Guidance counsellors are always
available when students need to talk about personal issues that they need
help with, in a warm, non-judgmental and confidential environment.
