Meet Your Guidance Counsellors
Course Selections: Due February 2025
Guidance Counsellors have hosted multiple homeroom visits for each grade, small group sessions and individual Guidance meetings. Students must submit their course selections for the 2025/2026 school year by February 21, 2025.
Students must choose wisely. There will be no changes to electives. Timetable change inquiries will be addressed following the February 23rd deadline and into the 2025/2-26 school year ONLY for students who require a change for the following reasons:
- Students who are in Grades 9, 10 or 11 who have less than 8 courses.
- Students in Grades 12/12+ who do not have enough courses to graduate (30 credits needed to graduate).
- Students who need a compulsory course to meet a graduation requirement.
- Students who failed courses and need to repeat them.
- Students who passed a summer school course, which is still on their timetable.
- Students who did not follow through with summer school and need to add a course to their timetable
- Students who need a prerequisite for an apprenticeship, college or university program.
***REQUESTS TO CHANGE TEACHERS OR A LUNCH PERIOD WILL NOT BE ACCOMMODATED**.
**Students need to have earned 24 credits before they can request a study period. Consequently, students in Grades 9, 10 and 11 will take eight courses. Grade 12 students may have a study period, although a study period is only recommended for students who need to and will use the daily 75 minutes to work on their courses. As well, study periods are not recommended unless a student is on track for a minimum of 31 credits.
