Guidance Counsellors
Students meet with their guidance counsellor to discuss their plans for further and/or higher education and entering the world of work.
The guidance counsellors work with students to:
-
- Help them make appropriate subject choices;
-
- Prepare for interviews;
-
- Make applications and prepare personal statements;
- Complete interests assessments and psychometric testing so that the students are best informed when making these major life decisions at such a young age.
Personal Counselling
If members of staff feel that students would benefit from additional support, the counsellors are available to students who wish to discuss certain issues e.g.
- Academic issues (studying etc.)
- Socialising with others
- Personal issues (problems outside school etc.)
- Bullying
Students are welcome to make appointments to discuss whatever issues are troubling them or parents/guardians may contact the school and request an appointment for their daughter/son.
Developmental Programmes
Working together with the NBSS teacher, we take smaller groups of students to develop their coping skills; deal with anxiety; offer solution-focused therapy; so that our students have tools to help them to move forward positively through difficulties.
Programmes include:
- ALERT
- Friends For Life
- Working Things Out
- Bereavement Support
