The goal of the Guidance Department is to assist students in three main ways:
Academic Counselling
Career Exploration and Planning
Personal and Social Development
For more information, check out the Guidance website.
Students should make appointments with their counsellor whenever they feel a need to discuss academics or concerns of a more personal nature.
Students are encouraged to begin Career Exploration as soon as they start high school. Students can do this independently throught myBlueprint. Counselling services play a central role in assisting students to make wise selections of school programs and courses to ensure that the widest possible post-secondary educational and career choices remain open. Students are aided in this regard by class presentations, Career Days and a host of print and electronic material.
The Guidance Department at CCAA holds an annual Course Selection Information Night to assist parents in helping their children with the course option selection process.
