Students are assigned to counsellors alphabetically based on their last name. However, students are free to see any counsellor should they so desire, for personal reasons. Students wishing to see a counsellor should proceed to the Counselling area to arrange an appointment time. Parents who would like information regarding their son’s or daughter’s progress or attendance are encouraged to contact their counsellor at Gleneagle.
