Guidance

The Guidance Department Humberside C. I. is dedicated to the success and well-being of every member of our school community. Our Guidance Counsellors demonstrate this by supporting students in the realms of personal, social, and educational development, as well as in career planning. Some of the many services that we provide to assist in the cultivation of student success are:

1) Aiding Personal and Social Concerns/Development 

• Confidential individual short term counselling relating to issues a student may be encountering inside or outside school

• Referral to our internal support staff (ex. Social Worker, Child and Youth Worker, Psychologist) or to outside community agencies

• Education about and referral to alternative programs/schools that may suit student based on unique needs

• Volunteer and job opportunities advertised through announcements and postings

2) Assisting with Educational Planning 

• Awareness of O.S.S.D and post secondary requirements

• Course selection and timetable changes

• Credit courses available outside of regular day school - night school, summer school, and virtual school options

• Peer tutoring through our after-school program

• Up-to-date post secondary prospects – including out-of-Ontario

• Financial aid resources - scholarships, loans, and bursaries

 3) Supporting Career Planning/Provision of Career Information

• Compulsory Careers credit course in Gr.10

• Interest inventories to allow students to discover possible destinations appropriate to their passion

• Referral to online programs (ex. Career Cruising. www.MyBluePrint.ca) that allow for career exploration

• Reference materials in the Guidance Reception Area

Every student at Humberside CI is assigned a guidance counsellor with whom he/she can discuss post-secondary plans, academic concerns and/or personal concerns. 

Students are encouraged to visit their assigned Counsellor by booking a time in the appointment book available in the Guidance reception area in the morning, during lunch or after school. Upon completion of an appointment, a student will receive an admit slip to return to class.
