Guidance and Career Education

“When we graduate a child from a Catholic School, we don’t only ask ‘What did you learn?’ but ‘Who did you become?’” Sister Clare Fitzgerald

Guidance and Career Education plays a central role by preparing students for a complex and changing world. The Guidance  program has a specific focus on learner, interpersonal, and career development with the following goals:

• teach career awareness early and throughout students' education;
• ensure that students have the skills they need to set and achieve their learning goals now and in the future;
• teach students the skills to make transitions throughout their lives, to work and/or further education and training;
• prepare students to live in an increasingly diverse society by helping them develop the ability to interact positively and work effectively in a range of settings.

Key Documents

Two  documents have been created by London District Catholic School Board Guidance staff to aid in transitions. 

The Journey Begins Planning for a Successful Grade 9.pdf  provides information about transitioning from grade 8 to grade 9.

The Journey Continues Planning for a Successful Grade 10,11 and 12.pdf provides information about transitioning from grade 9 through to post secondary destinations.

 Please call or visit the Guidance Centre at your secondary school for  more information.
