Each student is assigned to a counsellor based on the first letter of their last name. Each student will be seen a minimum of twice in a school year; once in Semester 1 to review their academic goals, and in Semester 2 to assist them with course selection for the following school year. Students struggling in school academically, or otherwise, may see their respective counsellor more often as we attempt to ensure the success of all our students through a variety of supports and interventions. Students are also welcome to make appointments to see their counsellor by visiting the "Book an Appointment" tab or by scanning the QR code on the guidance door. Students will select their counsellor, choose an available date & time for an appointment. During periods of high traffic, such as the beginning and end of a semester things tend to be much busier resulting in longer wait times.
