Career Counsellor Update

Career Counsellor Update!

I wanted to announce that Nelena Geusebroek has accepted the Career Counsellor position. Congratulations Mrs. Geusebroek! If you see her at school please extend a warm welcome to her.

Currently there is training taking place so you may see myself and Mrs. Geusebroek both for the next month or so. We are working through grade 12 visits currently and overseeing upcoming events and university recruiter advising sessions.  Please note that some of the advertised events (including the Post Secondary Fair) may be cancelled or rescheduled due to the strike. We will keep you posted. 

If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to Mrs. Geusebroek at [email protected]
