Guidance Counseling Services

Counseling services are available to all students at Birchwood Intermediate. Our counseling program is intended to promote and enhance student success in academic, personal, and social development. Support services are generally delivered through individual counseling, group counseling, and classroom education.

A Great Year

It continues continues to be another exciting year as we proactively work with our students to find personal success. Our student services team organize several groups to meet our students’ needs, such as social skill development, addictions education, anger management, and cultural diversity promotion. Parents and guardians should also stay tuned for available sessions offered throughout the year. Please contact our school counsellor, Ms. Lynn White, regarding counseling initiatives.

Christmas Miracle Program

A special thank you to all staff members and community members who volunteered and donated to our annual Christmas Miracle program. Many Birchwood families benefited from your effort and kindness.

The Adventure Group

The Adventure Group is currently running an after-school program at Birchwood School. The group leaders have been offering our students a variety of after school activities in our school. The group meets after school between 3:00 and 6:00 PM to get help with homework and enjoy food, games, sports, computers, movies, and other great activities. All students are welcome to join the group in the art room any day throughout the week. Thanks to the Royal Bank of Canada for committing the necessary funding to help run this program. Please call 368-6870 for information.

International Friendship Group

The International Friendship Group meet to share cultural experiences and to promote a positive school climate. Rachel FitzGillis and David Pendergast, Birchwood's phenomenal EAL teachers, work very hard to teach and support our increasing number of immigrant and refugee students in their desire to learn English and adapt to our school and community.
