  • Elaine Maxwell: My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny.

    Elisabeth Kubler-Ross: I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.

Parents

Introduction

Parents play a key role in students career development.  In a recent informal survey at Vanier Collegiate 70% of students surveyed stated that parents were the number one support and resource when deciding on future career and educational pathways.  It is for that reason this section is included in this website. 

Prince Albert Catholic School Division recently finished a Parents Handbook for Career Development.  It is a great resource that is supported by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education.
