· check with your guidance counsellor to ensure that you have all requirements to graduate (remember that compulsory course you kept trying to get out of in grade 10-you have to have it!)
· check that you have completed your 40 hours of community service or that you have very solid plans in place for completion of these hours. The Ministry does not flex on these hours, no matter how charming you may be
· start visiting the guidance area to look at the new university and college view books that are coming in. The “view” book does exactly what it implies-it gives you a snapshot of the postsecondary institution and the programs that it offers
· watch for all the new information booklets and pamphlets about the trades in the guidance office. If you don’t see what you are looking for, ask me-I’m there to help you make informed choices.
· pay attention to what University, College, work and military presentations are being offered at St. Joe’s in the fall. These presentations are invaluable and the presenters can answer (or connect you to someone who can) all of your questions
· ask me for information on how to help you make the school to work transition
