We would like to welcome Child and Youth Worker (CYW) Latoya Clarke to Mackenzie. All secondary schools have received this additional support for students for the 2017-18 school year. Latoya comes to Mackenzie with a wealth of experience supporting students. She will be working with students one-on-one and in group settings. She will be focusing on social skills, life skills, well-being, career pathways and other areas to meet student needs. Latoya works in collaboration with admin, guidance and teachers.

Our guidance counsellors in partnership with TDSB social workers will be in Gr. 12 classrooms next week. They will be providing a workshop on issues particular to Gr. 12 students such as managing stress, and strategies for balance and wellness.  The transition to post-secondary and leaving high school will also be a focus. This workshop has been created specifically for Gr. 12 students at Mackenzie for the spring.
