What Sacred Heart says about their university placement record and services:
Virtually all of our graduates go on to a
university education because we develop their game plan
early. In addition to individual counselling and guidance,
students also learn from recent graduates about how to
start preparing for their post-secondary years. In Grade
11, students can write PSAT exams to experience lengthy
multiple choice formats and to obtain a benchmark. Once
in Grade 12, students have weekly compulsory University
Preparation that gives them the tools they need: career
planning, the university application process, scholarship
applications, and resumé writing. Along their Senior
School journey, students are supported as they develop
their strengths and a well-rounded background including
volunteerism and leadership, and are encouraged to
apply for scholarships, bursaries, and awards. Overall,
students leave Sacred Heart fully equipped to engage
in a successful and fulfilling post-secondary academic
experience so they can be agents of change in our world.
