Busy Day

I spent the day helping students get their marks to various universities and colleges.  What an amazingly complex system.  Why can't there be one central place for all universities to deal with marks?   It has been a long year.  Commencement is tonight.  This is a very big and emotional event for students and parents.  I plan to attend to be part of this important moment.  We have a very large graduating class this year and I'm sure it has been exhausting for those organizing it.

Meeting With Elementary Counsellors

I completed the agenda for our upcoming collaboration/articulation meeting today.  I'm looking forward to spending time getting to know our colleagues in our associate schools and getting a good understanding of the grade 7 students who will need counselling next year. 

Trying to Decide

I'm in a bit of a quandry.  What shall be the focus of this blog?  I think I'll simply keep a "stream of consciousness" going with my thoughts on counselling and the day to day activities in the counselling department.  Hopefully, some useful or at least interesting tidbits will emerge .... one thing I've noticed lately is the intense activity surrounding "Grad" activities.....it never gets old...each year a new group of excited adults enters our general population, armed with the knowledge, skills and attitudes they have acquired over the past 17 or 18 years .... I wish our grads all the best as they begin the grand adventure known as life ...

Today is the day I begin to Blog.
