Guidance Newsletter


Course selection for the 2018-19 school year has been completed.  In addition to choosing courses on MyBlueprint (www.myblueprint.ca/tdsb), students also had to complete their Individual Pathways Plans (IPP). The IPP survey questions allow students to discover the answers to 4 key questions:
 
  1. Who Am I?
  2. What Are My Opportunities?
  3. What Do I Want To Become?
  4. What Are My Plans To Achieve My Goals?
 
As the end of the school year quickly approaches, Guidance has a variety of resources available for time management and study strategies to help prepare for final exams.
 
In preparation for the summer, job and volunteer opportunities have been posted on the Guidance Jobs & Volunteers Board. Students are strongly encouraged to come to the guidance office to gain a head start in applying for positions as they come up.  Check the board regularly!
 
Northview will be holding its semi-annual Spring Volunteer Fair on Wednesday April 11, at lunch, in the front foyer.  Students are required to complete 40 hours of community service hours as part of their diploma requirements.  Volunteer experience helps students to be well-rounded individuals and develop an awareness of civic responsibility. 
 
Graduating Students:  Many of our graduating students have received offers of admission to University and College while others are eagerly awaiting a reply.  Students are encouraged to log into their OUAC (university) and OCAS (College) application sites to check their status regularly.  Our Ontario Student Assistance Program,OSAP, Evening Information session was held on Thursday December 14, 2017, from 6-7:30 in our auditorium.  We went over detailed information about the program and how to apply. Also, our scholarships and awards workshop for graduating students gave important information about how to research and apply for financial assistance.  The evening was a great success!
 
Students and parents are welcome to contact their guidance counsellor if they have any questions.  Guidance Office: 416-395-3290, X 20040.
