Appointments can be requested by the student or counsellor, and although
counselling is available through either of our two counsellors, students are
assigned to a specific one based on grade level. Starting in S1, the program
has a guidance component delivered or facilitated by our counsellors.
Homerooms (Grade 6, S1)
Each class is divided into groups called homerooms. The homeroom teacher is
responsible for closely monitoring each student’s progress, and is an important
point of contact for parents.
Advisor Groups
Senior School students are divided into advisor groups where a designated staff
member provides pastoral care. The groups meet regularly every Wednesday for
15 minutes. This is a chance for girls from different grades to get to know one
another and their advisor, and to share experiences. Various school-related
announcements and House challenges are driven through advisor groups.
Advisors are the first line of contact for parents on concerns of a general nature,
and they make contact at least every six weeks.
S4-S5 Grade Meetings
These grades meet as needed for a scheduled 42 minute session. This compulsory
program is designed to meet the academic and social needs of students at this
age level.
Grad Seminar
All grads are scheduled into a compulsory 42 minute weekly meeting, covering
a variety of topics to ensure that they have a successful year and plan for
post-secondary studies. The Grad Seminar also facilitates the online university
application process.
Advanced Placement
Advanced Placement (AP) courses offer students challenges beyond the regular
curriculum. Successful completion in AP may assist students in placement for
university study. The program is offered concurrently with final year courses in
a number of disciplines.
