We help students:

PERSONAL
COUNSELLING
We help students:
- understand relationships with others

- talk over a problem and come up with alternatives
- find others, outside the Guidance Department, who might be of
further help.
Guidance is
pleased to once again host a variety of post-secondary information
seminars. Most have been scheduled during the noon hour in the
library. Special Event Permits are required for times other than
noon and will be announced in advance for students to come to
Guidance to complete this permit. Attendance will be posted for
teachers by the end of day for those sessions.
Potential
Grads are encouraged to take advantage of these visits by liaison
officers.
