COUNSELLING DEPARTMENT

The mission of the Johnston Heights Secondary School Counselling Department is:
"To collectively enable students to improve their lives by engaging in effective problem solving."

This is accomplished through course planning, career and vocational guidance, and personal one-to-one counselling. At Johnston Heights, we are committed to addressing a broad array of personal concerns as well as acting as a liaison between the school and community based resources. Counselling services are available for all students attending Johnston Heights Secondary School. The counsellors assist students with academic, career, and personal counselling.
