STUDENT SERVICES: THE GUIDANCE PROGRAM
The Guidance Program is a vital and integral part of the total school curriculum.

In all facets of school life, the guidance counsellor teacher's foster each student's ability to:
Know and appreciate themselves.
Relate effectively with others.
Develop appropriate educational plans.
Design personal career paths.
ACADEMIC
Guidance counsellors can assist with the selection of suitable courses and programs, establishing timetables, study habits, organization of time, exam preparation and review.
INFORMATION/CAREER PLANNING

The department also arranges for college and university information programs, welcomes guest speakers and shares scholarship information.
