Appointments can be made during class time as well as before school, after school, at breaks or during the lunch period. We are open from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. daily including breaks and lunch.
The Student Services Team at West Carleton Secondary School is made up of guidance counsellors, an office assistant, and a guidance technician, with support from a school psychologist and a social worker. We are also fortunate to have the support of counsellors from the Community Resource Centre, Rideauwood Addiction and Family Services, the Teen Sexual Health Centre, the Early Intervention Program and the Pastoral Care Program.
This team is available to assist students with education, career, and personal concerns. There are a wide variety of resources available on universities, colleges, and community agencies in the Student Services area and in the Co-op career centre. Students are welcome to make appointments to see counsellors or to drop by during their free time.
