The Trinity College School guidance department endeavours to support the growth and development of every student.
How do we do this?
Through group and individual meetings at every grade level, our team of guidance professionals:
- Guide students to think about their values
- Grow awareness of educational pathways
- Educate about planning for the future
- Facilitate social-emotional understanding, development and education
We understand the importance of providing a safe and nurturing environment where students feel welcomed and affirmed. In addition, we are committed to working closely with parents and faculty to ensure a highly integrated approach to student support.
While at TCS, students will have access to two counsellors (assigned by house):
Academic & Post-Secondary Support Counsellors will support students with things such as:
- Course selection
- Enrichment opportunities
- Summer programs
- Goal setting (personal, academic and career development)
