Dear Readers:
I am the school counsellor at Porter Street Elementary and my role is to support the social and emotional learning needs of our students. I can best be reached at hchang@sd43.bc.ca and I work on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
Each week I write a column which I call the Counselling Corner which is intended to offer helpful ideas, resources, encouragement and insight on a variety of topics to support your child's social and emotional learning needs.
I look forward to hearing from you if you need my support or if you just wish to say hello!
Harriette Chang

Mrs. Chang is on a leave of absence.
Ms. Chloe Kelly will be our school counsellor until Mrs. Chang returns.
Hello Porter Street Families,
I am the new counsellor at Porter Street Elementary and I am thrilled to be joining this wonderful community. My role at the school is to support students’ social and emotional well-being and I do this through in-class lessons, as well as small groups and individual sessions with students.
I started working in the Coquitlam School District just this past April. I come from the Vancouver School Board where I worked as an elementary counsellor for 8 years. Before that I worked for the Surrey School District for 10 years as a French Immersion classroom teacher at the K-7 level and for 1 year as a secondary counsellor.
If you would like me to meet with your child or if you’d like to speak with me about accessing community resources or anything mental health related (or anything else, really) please reach out! I can be reached at ckelly@sd43.bc.ca and am at the school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Chloe Kelly
School Counsellor
