Student Success Centre

Empowering Every Student's Path to Success

At WIC, the Student Success Centre (SSC) is dedicated to supporting every student’s physical, emotional and academic wellness. We believe that a well-rounded approach to education includes addressing the diverse needs of our students, ensuring they have the tools and resources necessary to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

Our Approach

The SSC operates with a comprehensive support system, illustrated by our triangle model, which encompasses:

Socio-emotional support: We provide counselling and resources to help students manage their emotional and social development, creating a balanced and supportive school experience.
Academic support: Our team of academic and career advisors, learning strategists, and targeted instruction specialists work to address each student’s unique learning needs and academic challenges. This includes support through Individualized Program Plans (IPPs) for those with identified learning needs.
Wellness: We emphasize the importance wellness has in our approach to student support. Wellness services are integrated into our broader support framework to promote overall well-being.

Key Components

Our goal is to foster an environment where students can excel academically while also developing important crucial life skills. Whether it is through universal, targeted or intensive supports, the SSC is here to guide students every step of the way.

Working with the counsellors and Learning Strategists in the SSC has been awesome! Our weekly tutorial sessions have really helped me stay on top of my classes, get organized and figure out the best way to study. It’s also great knowing there’s always someone to talk to - whether it’s about school, friendship issues, personal challenges or managing stress.

The SSC team has been working directly with my child to find strategies that fit their needs while keeping me updated so I can continue to support their learning at home. This teamwork has made a real difference in their academic and personal growth.

Creating and implementing IPPs in collaboration with students, and with support from their parents and classroom teachers, helps students take ownership of their educational journey. This process empowers them to explore their learning needs and find the best strategies to succeed.

Individualized Program Plans

WIC creates Individualized Program Plans (IPPs) to support students with learning challenges who have a psychoeducational code, or areas of need identified in a psychoeducational assessment as requiring support.

While WIC strives to support all students in various areas - including academics, physical health, and emotional wellbeing - we may not be able to meet every student’s needs.

Academic & Career Advising

With the support of our Academic and Career Advising staff and resources, students are encouraged to pursue their passions and explore their unique paths and goals. We help them plan and prepare for post-secondary education and beyond.
