About SIGMA

  • Flexible schedules and timetables to accommodate student needs.
  • On-site career, personal, and post-secondary counselling at NWSS.
  • Access to NWSS’s on-site youth care worker.
  • Extracurricular activities like graduation ceremonies, sports, drama, and music, and field trips.
  • One-on-one teacher support.
  • Post-secondary scholarship/bursary and Passport to Education dollars opportunities.
