INSIGHT & AWARENESS


PURSUING EXCELLENCE WITHOUT BECOMING A PERFECTIONIST Do you find it difficult to tolerate failure, mistakes, or see the positives in the work you do? Do you take constructive feedback personally or consistently invest more time and effort into completing tasks than your peers do? Do you find satisfaction in your work elusive, no matter how hard you try? These are common traits in people who struggle with perfectionism, and if you can relate to this struggle, don’t worry! This workshop shows you how to avoid the perils of perfectionism by engaging in a healthier, more balanced pursuit of excellence. It does this by uncovering the emotional roots of perfectionism, challenging unhelpful thought-patterns, and revealing the secret to becoming more productive with less effort. By applying this workshop to their lives, attendees experience deeper, more enduring satisfaction in their relationships and achievements.

P.L.A.R. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition

Finish your high school diploma – you may be closer than you think!

The number of credits you require for Grade 12 depends on your age, your past

education and employment, and other prior learning experiences.

An Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) requires 30 secondary school

credits (which include some mandatory credits).

If you have been out of school for one year, you may be eligible for maturity or Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (P.L.A.R.) credits.

If you began secondary school prior to 1984, you may be eligible for the Secondary School Graduation Diploma (SSGD) which requires 27 credits.

Come in and see if you qualify!

It’s never too late to be a high

school graduate!
