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

2007 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, Mr. MacInnis, 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 every day 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.

Thank You

We would like to say a special thanks to Howard Watts and Play It Again Sports for helping us out with our newest after-school program, which will focus on boxing skills, fitness training, and self-discipline growth. Howard will be working with a small group of Birchwood students Mondays after school. Thanks to Pat Doherty, our youth service worker, for spearheading this effort.

International Friendship Group

The International Friendship Group continues to meet once a month to share cultural experiences and promote a positive school climate. Wendy Poirier, our ESL teacher, will join the International Friendship Group. Wendy will be working hard to support our increasing number of immigrant students in their desire to learn English and adapt to our school and community.
