College and Career Counselling
College counselling at Woodstock encompasses career development, course selection, and planning for university throughout the senior school experience. Students have weekly homeroom meetings and receive personal attention in advisor groups and in individual appointments with the college counsellors.
Students are prepared for the college application process and life after Woodstock through the junior and senior seminar courses. Topics covered include research, comparison and ‘fit’, financial aid, and information about higher education admissions around the world.
College counselling at Woodstock commences in Grade 10. The focus in Grade 10 is on identifying strengths, exploring career pathways, and planning for success. In Personal Social Health Education (PSHE) class, students participate in a unit focused on identification of students’ strengths, interests and aptitudes. In addition, the College Counselling department has developed resources to aid students in IB course selection, taking into account student interests, as well as different regions of the world.
From Grade 11, students are introduced to weekly junior seminars, a course taught by College Counsellors to help students know themselves, know their options, and make an action plan for their college application process. For Grade 12 we continue with the senior seminar, a transition preparation course for students to successfully navigate next steps. Students receive counsellor-supported time to work on university essays, applications, and entrance testing or to plan their gap year.
In addition to individual advising, our College Counsellors invite several universities to run workshops and presentations to aid students and parents, to help in planning and making decisions around university choice. Each year, over 200 university representatives from highly-regarded institutions globally, including Australia, Canada, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, the UK, the US and Europe, visit us. The College Counselling department works very closely with the universities and have created a repository of several resources through a virtual library that students and parents can readily access.
