Student Success

Subject teachers and Guidance Counsellors provide academic assistance and guidance to all students. Students with a formal identification will receive support through Learning Services as detailed in their Individual Education Plan (IEP). Some students who are not formally identified may receive additional support through the Student Success Program. ​

The Student Success Program provides academic support and mentoring to non-identified students as they progress through their secondary school years. Student Success teachers are available to support our current Holy Cross students, as well as Grade 8 students coming to our school.

These include, but are not limited to:

• Any student who is disengaged or who has poor attendance;
• Secondary students not accumulating credits at a pace that will graduate them with their peers;
• Students who are deemed to be at-risk or in-risk situations; or
• Request by parent.
