Upcoming Guidance Meeting DP1 Parents
We are excited to inform you about the upcoming events with the Guidance counsellors. These meetings provide an opportunity for us to share the work we are doing with your students, discuss strategies to support their research and preparation, and address any questions you may have about specific programs.
Each student has received an individual meeting invitation to meet with a guidance counsellor (surnames A-Gir with Ms. Mocanu, Gri-Z with Ms. Fabris). These meetings will focus on reviewing the results of their career exploration survey and screening for guidance needs.
In addition, the guidance counsellors will be available to meet with parents in small groups at the following times:
- Tuesday, 16 April: Coffee morning in DP from 9:00 to 10:30. Please RSVP by Friday, April 12th, by completing this form.
- Wednesday, 24 April: Online session from 13:30 to 14:30. Join via this link: https://h-farm.webex.com/meet/ayana.fabris
As we approach the end of the term, we want to ensure that students have completed the following tasks:
- Orientation Survey
- University Fair Worksheet
- CV
- Personal Statement / Motivation Letter Draft
- Long List of Programs of Interest
- Teacher Recommendation Form
Students are encouraged to complete these assignments during the mandatory core sessions on Mondays. If additional guidance is needed, students can book appointments with the counsellors. Parents will be notified if students fail to submit these tasks.
We also want to remind you about the upcoming online events in partnership with university partners and Valdo Academic. Details for these events are available in the School Office Notice and ManageBac Guidance class.
