The Guidance and Counseling Program is an integral part of the education program at our school. The program's focus is on meeting the developmental needs of students through the use of classroom guidance activities, small group counseling and individual counseling. Established as a preventive, developmental program students benefit from learning, conflict resolution, communication and interpersonal skills, study skills, decision making and building high self-esteem. Pupils receive counseling services upon the referral of teachers or staff members or by request of the pupil.
Counselors welcome opportunities to help with specific concerns related to individual students.
Such concerns may be resolved by involving students in one or more personal interviews and by enlisting services from other resources i.e. school psychologist, social worker, nurse, teacher, administrator, parents or community agencies. Through this shared process, students will be provided with the necessary skills needed to survive in a complex, technological society.
