The primary goal of school guidance and counselling services is to enhance and promote student learning. These services are designed to provide supports and resources to students at all grade levels, to their families, and to educators. They are intended to facilitate the educational, personal, social, emotional, and career development of students in schools and in the community. School counsellors provide a continuum of preventive, developmental, and intervention services within educational settings and facilitate referrals to community resources. They are members of the student services team. The school counsellor’s role includes

counselling, education,  assisting in the development of effective behavioural change, school-based consultation, planning, and coordination within and beyond the school setting in the best interest of students
