General Messages:

Welcome!

As a Guidance Counsellor in Menihek High School I have three main roles. They are:

1. Academic Planning (course selection, scheduling, registration, etc.)

2. Post Secondary Planning (informational, application assistance, scholarships, etc.)

3. Personal Counselling – because #1 and #2 are so time consuming, not a whole lot of time is left to personal counsel. However, we are very fortunate to have a Youth Outreach Worker in our school. She is available to assist students in some personal counselling needs; her office is in Room 336.

My goal in using this webpage is to share information that comes through my office that may be helpful in any of the above areas. Please check back regularly for updated information, and if you have any questions about anything you see on here, drop by my office to look for answers.

Here’s to a great school year...
