Guidance and Career Education

Under the curriculum document, Choices Into Action, the goals of the Guidance and Career Education program have been organized into three areas: student development, interpersonal development and career development. Our role as counsellors is to assist students in achieving knowledge and skills in these areas.

As well as being responsible for the delivery of the Grade 10 Career Education course, we provide a variety of services to students, parents, teachers and community members. The Guidance department at St. Mary C.S.S. provides personal, academic and career counselling in individual, small group and classroom settings. We also offer information on course selection, career research, volunteer opportunities, college and university application procedures, apprenticeship programs, and the transition from school to work. The Career Resource Centre contains a computer lab and the most recent career related information. Students have access to this centre before or after school, during their lunch, or when they have a spare period.
