Welcome to Lakeshore Catholic’s Student Services Department where our motto is: "Think Clearly, Feel Deeply and Act Wisely ".

The Student Services department at LCHS is a key component of the secondary school program. Through the Student Services department, students will acquire the knowledge and skills that they need in order to learn effectively, to live and work co-operatively and productively with a wide range of people, to set and pursue education and career goals, and to carry out their social responsibilities. The Student Services department delivers this program through various means; including classroom visits, individual counselling, transition activities, orientation and exit programs, post-secondary exploration activities, career exploration and academic support through tutoring.
