The Library Learning Commons provides a safe, friendly environment, offering a balanced collection of print and digital resources to meet both curricular and personal interest needs. Through virtual and physical learning partnerships, we provide integrated learning opportunities which are global, connected, social, cross-curricular and interdisciplinary.
In partnership with classroom teachers, the teacher-librarian teaches guided inquiry, whereby students learn to define problems, form questions, explore ideas, analyse, synthesize and evaluate information and communicate new understandings. We strive to challenge students to think critically about the information they find, to instill in them a passion for reading and learning, and to equip them with multiple literacy skills for success in life after secondary school.
Students can request appointments with their academic counsellors at any time during the year.
Information and help sessions are provided to assist students in completing course selection sheets, applying to post-secondary institutions, financing their education, etc. The Public Health nurse is available in the school for sexual health clinic services for two half-days a week.
If an urgent need must be met, referrals may be made with parental consent to services provided by the Board or by outside agencies (e.g. social worker, child and youth worker, addictions counsellor, educational testing, speech and language testing, psychometric testing, mental health, Family and Children’s Services, Community and Social Services).
