Student Life
Heads of House and House System
Our Heads of House strive to provide a safe, caring and non-judgmental environment that enables students to work through challenges and develop coping strategies and life skills. Through an open-door, collaborative approach we develop the overall well-being of our students.
The House System is comprised of six houses that compete in inter-house competitions across the Four Strands. Each House includes students and faculty, led by a Head of House (faculty) and two elected Grade 12 House Captains.
University Guidance
Collingwood’s University Guidance office commits to meeting with every senior student, every year. Utilizing a listen-first approach to advising, students and their families are encouraged to explore post-secondary options with curiosity and creativity. Ultimately, this helps our graduates find their best-fit program, community and future path.
