Counsellor's Corner

Student services and counselling department offer a variety of information and support regarding post-secondary, career, educational and personal matters. At ESMY, we have an open-door policy where students can access counselling on an as-need basis. Teachers and parents can also refer students and appointments can be booked in advance. Support is provided for individual and family concerns and referrals to outside agencies can be accessed through the school counsellor. Please contact Natalie Jurick via email, or you may also choose to call her at the school 780-459-5702.

More specific information regarding post-secondary and scholarship material, may be found on the left hand side of the webpage.
