Did You Know?

Did you know that every HWDSB secondary school has a student success teacher available to help students who are struggling?

What is Student Success? 

In 2003, the Ministry of Education launched the Student Success Initiative in response to the needs of secondary students who are experiencing difficulty in achieving the expectations of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma.  Through additional resources and new program creation, this Student Success Strategy helps students in Grade 7 to 12 tailor their education to their individual strengths, goals and interests.  The focus is to assist and engage students who are “at-risk” of dropping out of school prior to graduation.
