Guidance & Counseling Department

Message from the Department

The mental well-being of teachers, parents, students and support staff is essential for achieving positive outcomes. Counselling and Life Skills Development Every Wednesday, selected topics on challenges facing the youth are addressed.
This program helps impart psychosocial competencies and interpersonal skills, equipping students with the ability to:
• Make informed decisions
• Solve problems effectively
• Think critically and creatively
• Communicate with confidence
• Build and maintain healthy relationships • Show empathy
• Manage emotions and cope with life’s challenges
Parental and Staff Support
Parents receive guidance on effective parenting techniques during parent meetings.
Teachers access counselling services during staff forums and one-on-one sessions.
Support staff are also engaged to ensure holistic well-being.
Emotional and Spiritual Support In times of bereavement, families receive emotional support through home visits. Peer education has been instrumental, allowing peer educators to provide support within their groups.
Spiritual nurture is integrated into assemblies and other forums, where students from different faith backgrounds (Muslim, Young Catholic Students, and Christian Union members) are given opportunities to participate.
Referral Services
When needed, students and staff are referred to Ministry of Health psychiatrists for further professional support.
Career Guidance
Students receive counselling on career paths and academic choices to help them plan for the future.
