Halifax West High School

Course Selection

Our course selection for the 2021-2022 school year is underway.  Students received their course selection form / credit check form today to assist them in choosing their courses for next year.  There is a copy of the 2020-2021 course selection booklet attached to this message as well as located on our school website.  The student portal opened today Feb 18, 2021 and will close on March 4, 2021. Students select their courses for next year through their Student PowerSchool account using their username and password. If a student does not have their username and/or password, they should go to the office to have their PowerSchool account reset.


Visit our student services website for all the details: http://hwhsguidance.ednet.ns.ca/?page_id=133.
Guidance counselors will be following up with students individually as needed during the month of March to support any students who require assistance.  Please encourage your child/student to drop by Student Services if they have any questions about course selection. We are here to help.


There is also some information attached about our Cooperative Education program here at Halifax West.  Check out this video and our Co-op teacher’s website for more information or contact Mr. Gavas directly at AGavas@hrce.ca.
