Counselling
The School makes all efforts to create an emotionally healthy and wholesome school environment for the students. The School has two qualified and experienced Counsellors, who look after psychological and career related needs of students. There is a well-established system in place to mentor, guide, handhold and support our students.
Counsellors offer one-to-one confidential advice and support, as well as group interactions for students. Referred and self-referred students are free to seek appointments with the Counsellors. In keeping with the ethics of counselling, the help of the Counsellors may be sought by the pastoral staff in order to ensure that students under their care reach their potential in terms of emotional, mental and behavioral health. Parents and staff as well, reach out for the Counsellors' support as and when needed. Referred and self referred students are counselled on a regular basis.
The following activities are done in order to reach out to students and help them in all possible ways.
