A guidance coordinator plays a pivotal role in ensuring the academic and personal success of students. They provide essential support by helping students navigate the challenges of school life, set realistic goals, and make informed decisions about their future. At Christian Virtual School, our Head of Guidance, Jenna Drennan, exemplifies this role through her dedicated service and personalized care.
Beyond her behind the scenes responsibilities like managing OSRs, assessing equivalent credits, and reviewing IEPs (to name a few), Ms. Drennan offers something even more valuable to our students—her time and guidance.
Every week, Ms. Drennan hosts Guidance Office Hours, a dedicated time for students to connect with her via a live meeting on various aspects of their educational journey. Whether it’s discussing course selections, academic challenges, or future career aspirations, Ms. Drennan is there to listen and provide personalized support. This support ensures that each student feels seen, heard, and empowered to achieve their best. Students can easily book a meeting through the Guidance Office block on their homepage, ensuring they have access to the help they need.
This open communication channel not only helps students navigate their academic pathways but also fosters a supportive community in alignment with our school’s values. It’s a time to seek advice, ask questions, and receive encouragement. As 1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NIV) reminds us, “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”
We encourage all our students to take advantage of this resource. Ms. Drennan is here to guide, support, and uplift you throughout your educational journey. For any guidance-related queries, don’t hesitate to reach out via email or book a meeting directly.
Remember, you’re not alone in this—our guidance team is here to support you every step of the way!
