Student Resources & Support
BSEC supports its students by meeting them where they are at.
We help them find the resources they need to learn the things they want to learn in a way that works for them.
BSEC provides opportunities for students to get support for their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual wellbeing. We care about more than just studying and homework – we believe that removing a student’s barriers to learning will make learning more accessible.
At BSEC, support looks like:
- maintaining mental and physical health
- making sure students can get to school
- helping with housing, legal and job opportunities
- modifying teaching methods as needed
- being a safe space for 2SLGBTQIA+
- providing opportunities for Indigenous cultural and spiritual connection
