Welcome to the Guidance Department at Henry Wise Wood! We currently have 3 Guidance Counsellors, Student Support Resource Coordinator and a Work Experience/RAP off Campus Teacher/Coordinator. Students are assigned to counsellors alphabetically by surname. In order to assist students in obtaining a high school education, counsellors offer a variety of services through individual and small group counselling.
These services facilitate the development of self-advocacy and awareness of one’s interests, encourage a healthy lifestyle and help students plan for life after high school. Counsellors can also assist:
- students with course planning and scheduling, personal concerns, career planning, and document evaluations (out of province or out of country)
- students and parents in accessing personal, educational and career related resources both in and out of school;
- students in exploring post-secondary opportunities and scholarship information

Online Course Requests
Grade 11 or 12 students may request one online course with CBeLearn. Please keep in mind that this does not replace a Henry Wise Wood in person course and that students will not be granted an additional spare by taking a course online. The online course is taken in addition to the minimum 7 courses per year for grade 11 students and 6 courses per year for grade 12 students.
Similar to a traditional in-person course, students can anticipate dedicating between 6-8 hours per week per course. Students are expected to maintain a regular presence within their online course. Daily work is recommended for students to be successful so it is critical that students are able to manage time well and commit to the demands of an online course in addition to their in-person coursework. Online courses run during the same time span as a semester and any 30 level courses will have corresponding Diploma Exams.
Students wishing to complete an online course with CBeLearn must submit the Microsoft Form below: Click here to access the CBeLearn Online Course Request Form – Registration will be confirmed by CBeLearn prior to course start.
