Wellbeing: Seminar Program

This course is designed to ease the academic and emotional transition from middle to high school. Grade 9 Seminar prepares students for the expectations and challenges of high school life. The importance of developing independence, self-motivated learning and emotional awareness will be highlighted, including identifying personal values, character strengths, establishing habits, and setting both personal and academic goals. Students will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a community counselor during seminar time.

Students will explore all aspects of well-being: Positive Emotions, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment, and Health. The course is designed to stimulate self-reflection and discussion around personal beliefs, values, and growth. Students will also apply what they’ve learned about themselves to explore potential futures and careers that fit their strengths, interests, and personality.

This course explores post-secondary possibilities and integrates these options with students’ own interests, skills, and talents. 

This course aims to prepare G12 students for the transition to life beyond high school. Students will reflect on, summarize and draw from their high school experiences as they navigate the college application process. Students will anticipate the changes and challenges ahead, and develop the skills to manage and enjoy the challenges of college life or independent living.
