BRSD Career Counselling Newsletter

Students may come back from the holidays feeling recharged and ready to focus on the end of their term assessments, or they may feel incredibly stressed and dreading January. Whatever your emotions, it is okay, and doing hard things like taking final exams and being challenged are GOOD for you! Prepare early and consistently to try and avoid the panic of the evening before.

What a great turnout at our December 4th post-secondary events. Students, parents/guardians, and the community had the opportunity to chat with recruiters from 20 Alberta institutions including the RCMP and the CAF. These opportunities allow students and families to learn about possibilities for life after high school, available programs, admission requirements and they even grabbed some swag.
