Counselling
The counselling department is responsible for helping students plan their graduation program, and assisting with post secondary and career exploration. The counsellors are also available to support students and families navigate personal issues or problems, and can help with referrals to outside agencies if required.
School-age students who are not attending school and wish to enroll full time in the Distance Education Program should call to make an appointment with a counsellor.
Adults who are uncertain of what requirements they need for Grade 12 graduation are also advised to call our counsellor.
Counsellors
Students are no longer assigned to our counsellors by grades or age. They are now assigned demographically.
