US Counseling & Advisory Newsletter
30 April 2021
Dear Students,
A variety of activities happened this month in Advisory. Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors put in their course requests for next academic year. Seniors looked at their transition to College and what that will look like based on their Personality test results. Juniors looked at their personality and interest profile results. Many groups continued working on their MISO project on Child Protection including it's many facets, and all grade nine students looked at their learning style as well as what makes them most productive.
At our Sharing Assembly on May 18th we are hoping that many of you will share your creative expression of what protecting our community looks like. For this participatory assembly we would like you to work on anything creative that covers the topic of Child Protection and Protecting Our Community. You can get some ideas from the posters below as well as student presentations published in last month's newsletter linked here.
It can be a:
- Poster or any piece of artwork
- Song, Rap or Theatrical Piece
- Poem or Short Story
- Your MISO research/project
- A Video
Your presentation can be 1 to 5 minutes and you can present as a group or individually.
Please take advantage of this AWESOME opportunity and register your interest by signing our sign-up form linked here and below.
Thank You very much and enjoy this month's edition!

These posters below were done by students in MS. Susi Francey's Advisory
"We did a brainstorm of ideas about grooming and then we portrayed them in the poster with our own perspective of the situation. We wanted to express how easily it is to be a predator and the different techniques you should do when you feel in those uncomfortable situations."
Junior
"This Advisory for me was informative and very creative as we applied things that we have learned into a Child Protection poster."
