Welcome to Student Success!

Every student learns in their own way.

Here at GBDSS we have a Student Success Team who work closely with our community, employers, post secondary institutions to offer more ways than ever to help students focus on their interests and support their learning.

Students can access our Student Success room, where we offer food, supplies and a safe environment for students to learn. This means meeting the needs, interests and strengths of all students, engaging them in learning and better preparing them for graduation and beyond.

Ms. Sarah Coleman

Ms. Coleman is one of the Student Success teachers at GBDSS. That means that her job includes helping students be successful in their classes, choose the right classes, or help refer to Alternative Programs. As a Student Success teacher, Ms. Coleman can also give students a quiet place to work, or a quiet place to chat if they are having a bad day. Student Success teachers like Ms. Coleman can also help by making referrals to our school Social Worker, or community partners.

Ms. Coleman grew up in Midland and is very happy to be teaching in her home community. She loves being outside and reading. This year, she started a letter writing program between GBDSS students and Senior Citizens in Midland.
