Who We Are
WELCOME TO PSO'S COUNSELLING DEPARTMENT
PSO students are alphabetically assigned to a specific counsellor by the first letter of their surname but are free to change counsellors if they wish.
Roles and Responsibilities of School Counsellors
• Academic programming for all students
• Transition from junior high
• Problem-solving and planning for students
• Personal counselling for social and emotional issues
• Post-secondary and scholarship planning
• Academic advising
• Career Exploration
Making Counselling Appointments
Counsellors are available for counselling appointments from 8:30 until 3:30 on most school days. Appointments can be made by phoning in advance or by just dropping in.
Referrals to Outside Agencies
Occasionally, students will require support for personal issues that go beyond the scope of a school counselling role. PSO school counsellors will be happy to assist students and their families in making referrals to outside agencies. Please do not hesitate to ask for information about counselling support outside of school.
Course Changes
Please see the Principal or one of the Vice Principals.
