Welcome to The Guidance & Counselling Area
The School has one Guidance Counsellor - Oliver Joyce.
Guidance Counsellors are professionally trained educators who have a specialised role in the school setting. The focus of their work is on meeting students individually.
We are trained mediators of information and our primary role is to support the individual student in educational, vocational and personal development.
This means that we provides a place and time in which a young person can explore and think about issues of concern, is enabled to set goals, to make mature decisions and will be supported in dealing with the outcomes of those decisions.
Students can make an appointment with the Guidance Department at any time.
Students bring a variety of different issues. These include:
- Friendship
- Settling in to a new school
- Anxieties
- Stress
- Bullying
- Self esteem / Self worth
- Bereavement
- Sexuality
- Coping with loss
- Family crisis
- Health issues
