SWC Guidance

This podcast features a professional conversation between educators exploring the role of the guidance counsellor within an Ontario secondary school context. Through discussion with a practising guidance counsellor, the episode aims to provide an authentic, first-hand perspective on the responsibilities, challenges, and impact of guidance services on student success. The conversation highlights how guidance counsellors support students’ academic planning, career exploration, personal well-being, and transitions throughout their educational journey. By connecting policy documents with lived experience, the podcast offers insight into how the role extends beyond course selection to include advocacy, collaboration, and holistic student development within today’s school environment.
