SHHS PTA to Hear School Gounseliors

Did you ever wonder what a school counsellor’s duties ‘are? Did you ever stop to think, that a good high school counsellor in- troduces your children to better and happier futures?,

Not all children are equally bright in all subjects, but every child can -be helped to capitalize on better- subjects.

On Monday, the high school PTA will present a program with four counsellors participating. Two will discuss junior high school. activities and how your child {s prepared, after a careful syrvey on capability and com- prehension, for either a general course or a- university course.

This is“ a’ very important time in the life of a child. Every parent is urged: to attend and find out what the parents with children’ in, junior high, school should acquaint themselves. with, in order, to help: their. children to rewarding future studies.

We all know ‘that:'a high school education is. important, but most of us don’t realize that without counsellors here, just as in junior high, most_ children would de lost as to what sub- jects they should study so as to get a well rounded education with the necessary credits to graduate.
