Oscar Romero has a caring and compassionate Student Services team available to

support students!

Our School Counsellors and Grad Coaches, Mrs. MacDonald and Mrs. Laplante, are here

to support students as they manage academic pressures, build resilience, develop

confidence, or navigate personal challenges. Their goal is to meet students where they are

at and help them to be successful and thrive.

Student Services has created a Google Classroom to share information on mental health

strategies, presentations, scholarships and post-secondary and career information.

Students have been sent invitations to join their Google Classroom. Just join at any time!

We welcome students to stop by our office or feel free to set up an appointment by email

or Microsoft Teams.

Parents and Guardians are invited to reach out to our School Counsellors with any questions or concerns.

We are here to listen, support, and collaborate – because it truly takes a team to help every student succeed.
