Student Services

The Student Services Team at Collège Jeanne-Sauvé is committed to working together with teachers, parents and students to provide the best learning environment to meet the needs of our community.

Student Services

At CJS, the Student Services team is composed of the principal, the vice-principal, the teacher-librarian, the Student Services Advisors, and the Instructional Assistants. Through the collaboration and consultation of the Student Services team members, students at CJS have access to a network of support services. The Student Services team functions in a consultative capacity, providing services to students, parents, and teachers. When special services are required, appropriate goals and programs are developed to meet the individual needs of the student.

The Student Services teachers are available to meet with students and/or parents to provide assistance of a general or personal nature. Services are provided in a wide variety of areas such as career development, course selection, planning of post-secondary education, study habits, personal development and relationships, tutoring, and many other areas that affect the student's academic, social, and emotional well-being. Personal concerns are discussed in a confidential atmosphere. Assistance can be provided to both classroom teachers and students in the following ways:

• assessing students' areas of strengths and weaknesses 
• individualizing instruction where it is deemed necessary 
• providing learning strategies and study skills which will enable a student to become an effective learner
• consulting and collaborating with classroom teachers to develop and implement effective study and work habits

The LRSD Clinical Services Unit provides students with professional support by way of social workers, psychologists, as well as speech and hearing specialists.

Transition Vie-travail 40S

The Student Services team offers our students a progressive career and life skills program which is integrated into their high school timetable over a period of four years. This program integrates a formal exploration of career and life paths blended with practical experiences. Program units include Take Your Kids to Work, Job Shadowing, Career Cruising, portfolio development, visits to universities and colleges representatives, scholarship and bursary workshops, Career Symposium, employment workshops, Gap Year, financial planning, and many more timely activities. Upon completion of the grade appropriate units plus 20 hours of community service each year, students can earn credit which can be applied towards their graduation credits. Details of the program are delivered to the students at the beginning of the school year. All students are automatically registered for this course. For your convenience, we have attached a copy of the CJS Volunteer Registration Form.

Philosophy of Inclusion

Manitoba Education, Citizenship and Youth is committed to fostering inclusion for all people. Inclusion is a way of thinking and acting that allows every individual to feel accepted, valued, and safe. An inclusive community consciously evolves to meet the changing needs of its members.

Through recognition and support, an inclusive community provides meaningful involvement and equal access to the benefits of citizenship.

In Manitoba we embrace inclusion as means of enhcnacing the well-being of every member of the community. By working together, we strengthen our capacity to provide the foundation for a richer future for all of us.

CJS Awards, Bursaries and Scholarships

Collège Jeanne-Sauvé Student Advisors have created a list of Awards, Bursaries and Scholarships as a resource to help Grade 12 Students better prepare for their eventual move to post-secondary learning. As we receive more information in the Student Services Department, we will keep students updated.
