School Counsellors
We strive to assist all students in reaching their true potential.
This commitment encompasses all the parts of life that contribute to one's well being: personal, social, emotional, academic and career.
Offering a safe space for students to feel seen and heard, we listen without judgement, and remain curious about
students' unique strengths and challenges, as we explore possibilities together.
This collaboration allows us to act as both student support and advocate.
Administrative Assistant
As the first point of contact, Ms. Nowek supports students by providing information & direction related to booking appointments, ordering transcripts, graduation preparation and logistics related to everyday student life.

If your family is in need of food as a result of school closures, please dial 2-1-1 on Monday-Friday between 8am-8pm. A 211 navigator will take your information and arrange for a food box to be delivered to your home free of charge by Feed Nova Scotia.

You can pre-order a bag of 10lbs of veggies for free, or $7.50 or $10. Pick up is every second Saturday at St. Luke's Church.
