Welcome to the Guidance and Counselling web page. Should you wish to contact us our email is: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. The care of each student is of utmost importance in our school. The Guidance and Counselling service aims to offer a full range of learning experiences which are designed to assist students to make choices about their lives and to make the transitions consequent to these choices. The Guidance Counsellors’ function is to assist students to obtain information about opportunities and to assist the students to gain self-knowledge that allows them to choose among alternatives. Counselling is offered on an individual or group basis as part of a developmental learning process and at moments of personal crisis. Counselling may include personal counselling, educational counselling, career counselling or combinations of these. We have a number of useful links below and our diary will be updated regularly.
