What is Counselling

Counselling provides professional assistance and psychological services to those who are experiencing distress, anxiety, depression, panic, and any other problems that may disturb an individual. The school counsellor is always available for students who need help managing their stress and anxiety (especially when tests and exams are approaching). Moreover, students are encouraged to visit the counsellor’s office (near the office) to discuss any issues that are distressing them. All consultation with the counsellor will be private and will be kept confidential, which means, no one other than the counsellor and the student will know of anything that was discussed.

Bullying

It is widely known that bullying is a major issue in schools and out of school. The effects of bullying can lead to depression, anxiety, loss of interest in activities, not doing homework, not attending school, loneliness and sleep disturbance. Imagine this was you who was getting bullied and you started to experience everything mentioned above. Would you be happy? Would you want to come to school? NO! Therefore, it is important to not engage in any act of bullying and to report all incidents of bullying to your teachers, coordinators or to the school counsellor.
