Student Services

“Our counsellors are committed to helping students find the support they need so they are best able to achieve both personal and academic goals.”
The CDS Middle and Senior Student Services Team comprises six Guidance Counsellors, four Learning Strategists, one Test Room Coordinator, and an Office Manager. Dedicated to supporting each student's academic, career, and social-emotional growth, the team provides individualized support, executive-functioning and study-skills guidance, post-secondary and career planning, and navigation of accommodations for students with exceptionalities, including Grade 9 and 10 Learning Strategies courses.

Working in close collaboration with teachers and parents, the Student Services Team delivers an integrated, nurturing approach to empower students to advocate for themselves and achieve their personal goals. Whether students require daily check-ins or occasional guidance, support is tailored to individual needs.

Each student is paired with a guidance counsellor (listed on their timetable). For inquiries, please contact  Mrs. Huckvale, SSC Office Manager.
“Our counsellors are trained to offer help with the gamut of issues that affect children and adolescents,” says Catie Ferguson, Head of Middle/Senior Learning Support. “We create a circle of care around every student who needs it, so that parents, teachers, and guidance counsellors are all on the same page.”

Land Acknowledgment

The Country Day School wishes to recognize and acknowledge the land on which the school operates. Our nearest Indigenous Nations are now the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and the Chippewas of Georgina Island. The Dish with One Spoon Wampum covenant is often cited as an example of the shared responsibility for caring for these lands among the Huron-Wendat, Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee peoples who would call these their traditional territories. CDS respects the relationship with these lands and recognizes that our connection to this land can be strengthened by our continued relationship with all First Nations, by acknowledging our shared responsibility to respect and care for the land and waters for future generations.
