STUDENT SERVICES AND GUIDANCE

Parents and students of St. Thomas of Villanova Catholic Secondary School are encouraged to make regular use of the Guidance and Counseling Services. Our counsellors advocate the notion of developmental guidance and provide support to students in a variety of ways, ranging from educational counselling, academic counselling, crisis intervention and consultation services for parents, teachers and community agencies. While guidance services are available for all students, it is important to note that a counsellor’s role is not to make decisions for students, but rather to guide them through the decision-making process. A counsellor assists students in the gathering of necessary information and in the development of effective critical thinking skills necessary for wise decision-making. St. Thomas of Villanova’s guidance counsellors are well-trained and equipped to work closely with students so as to empower them to reach their potential. Parents are encouraged to work closely with any of the counsellors in order to provide the best education and development for the students. Feel free to call the counsellor at school and set up an appointment.
