 Counseling Services:

 Individual Counseling: School counselors use many different mediums to work with students in individual sessions. In individual sessions, students may draw, write, sing, play, or just talk. Sometimes we work on learning a specific skill such as deep breathing for anxiety. Other times we work on role-playing situations, such as a problem with a friend or having a difficult conversation.

Group counseling: The programme was designed to assist students when there are multiple students experiencing similar problem or issue, it can be helpful for them to be in a counseling group together. Group counseling helps students build relationships and feel that they are not alone in their experiences.

 Career Guidance: The programme functions as a guide to students in planning academic for grades 8-12,exploring career interests and opportunities and guiding through the university admissions and selection process.

Training: The counselling program offers teachers and administrators various opportunities to expand their scope of practice to include counselling. Staff will be aware of counselling policies and practices, how to identify indicators for student concern and how best to serve the counselling needs of our students.

Psychological Assessment: This service provides standardized assessment materials to help the students in understanding themselves and to maximize their best potentials.
