Our two Guidance Officers work to support students (and their parents) in dealing with personal, educational and career concerns, through
- personal counselling, coaching and problem solving
- educational counselling, assessment, subject choice, and self-management skill development
- exploration of future options, career development planning, subject advice, and post- school training and study applications.
