Resource Department

Our school has three resource teachers who work closely with the entire school staff in providing leadership and guidance in providing program supports for students.  Their role is to serve both students and teachers by assisting in the identification and delivery of the most appropriate academic program for students.

Student Services ( Counselling)

Counsellors provide services for students, parents, and teachers.  Students wishing to see a counsellor or resource teacher are encouraged to arrange appointments directly or to leave a message in the Student Services office.  Appointments can be arranged during spares, over the lunch hour, or prior to or immediately after regular school hours.

If a student’s needs are urgent, he/she can also request an appointment during class time.

Career Education Program

Our school is committed to providing students with a comprehensive career awareness/planning program.  Students have opportunities to explore their personal strengths and interests regarding careers through the following forums:

Ø      Career Portfolios:  Through the English Language Arts programs and Student Services, students will be involved in a portfolio development process throughout the Senior I-IV academic years.  Students will graduate with a completed portfolio.

Ø      Career Exposure Workshops: The Student Services department and Career Preparation Teacher will organize workshops, mini-sessions, and career days during the year that will provide students with direct information to assist them in their career planning.

Ø      Career Center: The Career Center centralizes and distributes career and post secondary information to our students.  The Career Center, is managed by a Career Preparation Teacher, has a variety of resources to assist students in their career/post secondary planning.

Ø      Career Preparation Programs: Senior III and IV students have the opportunity to register for a two-credit program which provides students with an opportunity to integrate classroom theory and practical and meaningful experiences in the workplace.
