The Student Services Department provides students, either individually or in groups, with the opportunity to acquire skills, knowledge and attitudes necessary to:
- Know and appreciate themselves as individuals with unique interests and attitudes;
- Relate effectively with others, by developing positive interpersonal skills;
- Develop an appropriate educational plan that matches their individual interests and abilities;
- Explore career alternatives taking into account personal growth, and increased decision-making skills, when considering career plans.
Counsellors are available to assist students in locating and interpreting information that they may require when making decisions about careers, course selections, and other personal concerns. Up-to-date information about community resources is kept on file in the Guidance area. Internet access is available with built-in links to Post-Secondary Institutions and Apprenticeships, Career Planning, Scholarships and Financing. Counsellors may also refer students to appropriate community agencies. Information is provided on many local community and social service agencies. Pamphlets, brochures, books and other resources on social issues are available for personal use or school projects. Personal and vocational counselling is available for students.
The Department hosts information sessions with post secondary institutions as well as local community and social service agencies.
Our school aims to provide all students with equal opportunity for success. Students who have been designated as exceptional by an I.P.R.C. committee will have the chance to receive assistance from the Special Education Department. The Special Education Resource Team will provide program support to promote the overall success of the exceptional student in the regular classroom in a secondary school setting.
An Individual Education Plan (I.E.P.) will be developed and maintained for identified students. The curriculum expectations for students with I.E.P.'s will be accommodated to provide assistance to help students achieve their potential.
