Academic Advisors and Department Heads

Academic Advisors
Students often have a difficult time planning for university because they may be uncertain about what they want to study and where they want to study. They may not have decided what career they want and, if they have decided upon a career path, they may not know what high school subjects are required.
Our academic advisors are there to help them. In order that students make choices that comply with the requirements of the universities and university programs that they may eventually find themselves in, they work with the academic advisors to make the most suitable course selection in high school.

Department Heads
Department Heads work with teachers from their departments to develop curriculum materials that are suitable for our students and to ensure that all teachers are following the British Columbia curricular guidelines. Departments heads and teachers also work together to develop appropriate assessment and marking criteria.
