Student Services

Resource

The focus of the Resource Team is to support the classroom teacher in identifing and programming for children who are struggling to meet expected grade level outcomes. This may involve:

• assessing students at the request of classroom teachers
• providing direct intervention with students who need significant support
• consultation and collaboration with classroom teachers, parents, school administrators and the Clinical Services Unit (Social Work, Psychology, Speech and Language, Occupational Therapy).

Counselling

The overall purpose of counselling, like teaching, is to maximize the learning potential of children in the school system. Counselling philosophy operates upon the basic assumption that children who feel capable and worthwhile will gain the maximum benefit from their school experience. Individual and or group counselling is provided for any student who needs support and guidance.
