Guidance and career education can help you find the right path for a successful experience in high school and beyond.

The ACL of Guidance is Ms. Zainab Jamal. 

Guidance works with students to develop academic and social emotional skills to build confidence, independence and achieve a broad definition of success. We do this through class visits, workshop delivery and one on one guidance counseling. Students are encouraged to visit the Guidance office for any kind of support; if Guidance can't help, they will find somewhere that can.

We value Mental Health and are here to support students day to day and make additional referrals as needed. Students and families are also encouraged to check out TDSB's Student Mental Health Resources

 While not an exhaustive list, here is the Guidance year at a glance (check back here for updated links).
