The Guidance Counsellor offers a program of activities and services that facilitates the personal, social, educational, and career development of students at all grade levels. The school counsellor provides individual, group instruction, consultations and referrals to assist students and their families in making informed decisions and responsible plans.
The Guidance Office has an “open door” policy. Appointments may also be made by students and parents. Information regarding course selection, post-secondary studies, tutoring, career counseling, and social emotional issues is available. The co-operative education program facilitated through the guidance office helps students see the relationship between the curriculum and life outside of school. This program allows students to earn credits towards their OSSD.

The selection of titles available is quite comprehensive and new volumes are being added constantly. The Teacher-Librarian or staff members who are on duty are anxious to be of assistance in finding suitable books, magazines or papers for all students wishing to make use of this facility, whether their reading is for research, reference or recreation.
