University Counselling
Mission Statement
Guided by SAC's vision, "Equipping young men for a world of extraordinary possibilities," the University Counselling Department supports students in finding the right post-secondary fit while fostering their development into independent, well-rounded citizens who contribute meaningfully to others.
Through our Live the Vision program, students engage in a structured process grounded in self-exploration, decision-making, future-thinking, support through transitions, and mental health, developing the clarity, confidence, and skills needed to navigate post-secondary pathways with purpose and resilience.
