The School recently hosted a parent info session on course planning. The PAC would like to thank Ms. Fast and the foods department for providing the goodies and coffee.
If you weren't able to attend the info session, there are many resources available.
1. Check the school website on the left hand side under the Counselling and then Course Planning
2. Also under Counselling is Grad 2015 info and then the slide show from the Parent Information meeting in October that contains all sorts of information about Academic and Post Secondary Planning including scholarship and career planning information.
3. check out the myblueprint.ca which is a career and education planner
4. another good website is workbc.ca which allows you to search for jobs, research jobs and careers and more
5. there is an upcoming District program "Parents as Career Coaches" taking place Wed Feb 25 and Wed Mar 4 at WGSS. This is an excellent course that helps us as parents start a discussion with our kids about career ideas, how to look for post secondary institutions and more. Contact Pat Rosen [email protected] for more information.
6. and finally bctransferguide.ca allows you to look up courses and find out what other institutions you can transfer credits too.
And of course always on hand at the school are Ms. Mallinson in our Counselling Dept and new this year is Ms. Virgo who is here to help with career planning. Please take advantage of these great resources and make an appointment to go over you questions.
