Counselling Services

counselling

Counsellors assist students with a wide variety of educational life/career and personal concerns. Counselors are available by drop-in or appointment (recommended).  Students can benefit from the following services:


School Counselling

We provide assistance in choosing the courses and programs best suited to a student’s abilities and occupational interests. Assistance and strategies are offered on over-coming difficulties in learning, studying and taking exams.


Life / Career Counselling

We help and encourage students to explore values, beliefs, interests, abilities, and strengths through counselling, computer-assisted research, and resource information.


Personal Counselling

We assist students who are experiencing personal difficulties which interfere with learning progress. All discussions between students and counselors will be kept confidential, whenever possible.


Addictions Counselling

Our Addictions Counsellor works with Alberta Health Services and is available to meet with students struggling with drugs and alcohol at the Comp. Appointments are made by a referral from from the school counselling staff or by calling the Alberta Health Services – Addiction and Mental Health Services intake line at 877.652.4700.

École Foothills Composite High School / Alberta High School of Fine Arts is on Treaty 7 territory, a traditional travelling route, gathering place, and meeting grounds of Indigenous Peoples. Our school is on the ancestral, traditional, and future lands of the Siksikaitsitapi, which is comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, Amskapi Piikani First Nations; the Tsuut’ina First Nation; and the Îyârhe Nakoda, including the Chiniki, Bearspaw and Goodstoney First Nations, as well as the Métis Otipemisiwak and Esikisimu Nunangat. We are grateful for the languages, cultures, traditions, and histories of this land that influence our lives, providing the foundation to grow our knowledge and pursue our passions. Let this acknowledgement invoke in all of us a call to action to uphold our treaty relationships and fulfill our duties to reconciliation.
