Spiritual direction is offered to students as a confidential space for reflection on questions of purpose, values, identity, and inner life. Rooted in a listening, non-directive approach, sessions welcome students from all religious, spiritual, and secular backgrounds. Given the unique challenges of boarding school life — distance from family, cultural adjustment, and the intensity of adolescent development — this offering provides a steady companion for students as they navigate who they are becoming.

Kelsey McGaw (Wellbeing Student Coordinator)

Hi, I’m the wellbeing student coordinator! I have a degree in psychology, and am currently completing my masters in counselling. I am passionate about supporting students in their personal growth and overall wellbeing. In this role, I’m here to be a resource for students, whether you need someone to talk to, guidance in building resilience, or strategies to manage stress and find balance. It’s important to find ways to build healthy habits and feel connected. I’m available to meet with students who want to talk, ask questions, or explore resources that might help them. I am here to create a safe, approachable space where you feel heard and supported.

Erica Plater

Counselling Team Leader & Head of Well-being

I’ve been part of Shawnigan for a big portion of my life as a Kaye’s alumna, a parent of two Lake’s boys, and a staff member for the past 16 years, including House Director of Kaye’s. I have a BA in Child and Youth Care and am in the final months of my MEd in School Counselling. Most importantly, I’m here for students. You don’t need to be in crisis or even know exactly what’s wrong to come and talk. Big things, small things, or anything in between, you don’t have to worry alone. I am here to help.
