Ian Magega
I began my teaching career in 2015 in Vegreville Alberta. In 2016, I joined the Evergreen Catholic School community and taught mathematics and physical education at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic High School. One of the main reasons why I obtained a degree in education, is because I enjoy working and helping students achieve their goals and aspiration. However, I quickly identified that students need to learn the skills to take control of their own self-wellness to succeed. Over time, my desire to provide students with emotional support and their own set of skills to have a strong sense of wellness grew. Therefore, I started to work towards a career transition to become a School Counsellor.
In 2021, I shifted into a new role with student services, and I am working with our current team at St. Peter the Apostle. Since stepping into this role, my passion in helping students has immensely grown. I have been given the opportunity to provide collaborative services to support students that are experiencing social or emotional difficulties that may be impacting their overall wellness, as well as affecting the student’s ability to learn and feel successful in school.
I am currently completing my Masters in Counselling so I may continue my journey in this new career path. I am excited to learn and grow and continue to provide support to the students and families of Evergreen Catholic Schools.
