Student Services
Elementary students benefit from the support of the following onsite professionals:
Our school counsellors provide individual, small group or classroom intervention as needed. Students may be referred by their parents, teachers or administration for psycho-social or emotional support.
Our dean of student services oversees our daily lunch and recess programs and helps to resolve student conflicts alongside the principal, vice principal and school counsellor.
Our school nurse oversees students’ medical needs and provides education in the areas of nutrition, hygiene, body image and puberty.
