We provide a positive, supportive, peaceful and safe learning environment for our students to support their learning and well-being within VEGA Academy community. We strengthen relationships and build partnerships among our students, staff, families and communities and offer a wide range of programs that reflects all of our students’ voices, choices, abilities, identities and experiences.
Advising
We support the academic, career, and personal development of all our students, connect them and their families with community resources, facilitate Grade 9 transitions and complete new student registrations, host pathway planning and information events, support the transitions to postsecondary destinations, track and monitor student achievement toward graduation.
Pathway Plan
Our Guidance Counsellor, in discussion with the student and his parents, creates a ‘Pathway Plan’ that launches each student on the path to graduation and career goals. Pathway Plan provides a wide range of course types, programs, and learning opportunities to prepare you to success in secondary school and beyond. We show a tangible plan for student success with long-range planning, caring, intent and support. Most importantly, Pathway Plan operationalises our goals and vision.

Home Stay
Homestay can offer a unique experience you won’t get in any other student accommodation. Instead of living with other students, you will be living with a local family in their home. You will get a different experience to the stereotypical student living and see a different side of the city you are living in. Homestays can be a great way to embrace the culture of your school town and diverge from typical university life.
Homestay also can give you the opportunity to live in a welcoming home environment and learn in a new and exciting culture, surrounded by a supportive, local family. During this unique international experience, you are treated as part of the family.
