Guidance & Counselling
Personal and social development is an integral part of the school guidance and counseling curriculum.Guidance and counseling play an essential role in effective teaching and learning in schools.The purpose of our school counseling department is to enable students to successfully manage their lives as healthy, responsible, capable and productive individuals to achieve academic, personal/social and career success, and to reach their full potential. Counseling services are provided to help the student understand himself and deal with his life situations. Services are provided individually as well as through group counseling sessions. Our counselors/ teachers help in solving any academic issues, emotional conflicts, personal and interpersonal problems of the students. Students are also given guidance on effective study techniques, how to set achievable goals and direct their efforts to accomplish them, and how to deal with difficult and stressful situations they encounter. Classroom guidance activities and life skills lessons are conducted on regular basis for the students. Self-awareness, communication skills, decision making, anger management and time management skills are developed through classroom presentations and lessons.
The primary objective of our counseling services is to help students learn to build good relationships with their peers and develop effective personal and social skills. We help them in increasing their confidence level to help them overall. If students feel in immediate need of support to overcome academic, personal, social or emotional related challenges, students can directly contact the counselor/teacher. Parents can either seek additional help from the counselor through direct school contacts or share their concerns with the class teacher, who will then guide them to seek help from the counselor.
