Our Counsellors and Career Advisor at WGSS assist students in their developmental journey through their academic, career, personal and social challenges. The WGSS Counselling Team works closely with students, staff, parents, and the community with the goal of helping students develop the qualities they need to become self-reliant, responsible individuals.

Counsellors also provide assistance with program planning, timetable concerns, post-secondary and scholarship information, as well as information on alternate programs such as summer school and distance education. We have access to a wide range of community services, and can assist in suggesting resources for families, parents and students who need on-going counselling or therapy.

Our Career Advisor helps students (and their families) to explore occupational options, volunteer opportunities, and dual-credit programs (e.g. Youth Work in Trades, Youth Train in Trades programs and work experience). Our Counsellors assist students with ensuring they meet graduation requirements and entrance requirements for the post-secondary programs they are considering pursuing after high school.

Appointments can be made to see one of the counselling team through the link to their calendars. Students may also use TEAMS to contact their counsellor when they have questions. Parent inquiries are also welcomed by e-mail or phone messages.
