GUIDANCE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT

If you are in need of mental health support, please do not hesitate to come to the Guidance office without an appointment. If you have an emergency or are in crisis, please come to Guidance, and we will help you. Outside school hours, a list of community supports may be found HERE.

COURSE CHANGES/CAREER COUNSELLING

Guidance is now open for appointment bookings.

Students:  Please review carefully who your Guidance Counsellor is for this year as there has been some shifts in the caseloads. Place your request for an appointment (click on the appropriate large blue button at the bottom of this page). Please do NOT email your request.

Parents: If you would like to communicate with a Guidance Counsellor, please email your question/concern directly to the appropriate Guidance Counsellor.

NOTE: There are certain times of the year in which the demand for Guidance outweighs the availability. Please check back regularly when appointments are filled and use the tools available to you to find answers to common questions (posted presentations
