Hosted by our expert Guidance Counsellor, Dr. John McGinnity, this clinic will answer any questions you have about College, Courses, and Careers. John will cover a different topic each week, including CAO, UCAS, PLC and any other after school options. The format will be open forum, and John will be available throughout to answer questions from parents/guardians.

“The grinds make me feel more prepared. I understand the concepts of the subject better. As a whole, I’ve learned a lot more than what I was taught in school and studying by myself.”
