The holistic welfare of every learner is the utmost priority of the Guidance and Counseling Center. In order to pursue this endeavor, a set of planned activities with desired goals is sensibly organized.  

 

Guidance and guidance services according to Crow and Crow aimed at assistance, organized more or less loosely, and rendered by means of various procedures and specialized techniques which increase the functional aspect of the program. For differentiation and clearer understanding we can consider guidance as a more or less general term to connote both systematic and unsystematic and informal means toward assisting an individual, whereas guidance services include only all systematic and organized procedures and facilities for the same end.  

 

Guidance services can be defined as a group of services to individuals to assist them in securing knowledge and skills needed in making plans and devices, and in interpreting life. They include facilities, procedures and tools. They provide comprehensive information about opportunities, personality development, effective studying and learning. They set up means of aiding placement, adjustment in the classroom, and co-curricular and community activities.

6. CHARACTER FORMATION (Enrichment Programs)

​

The Character Formation program is designed to address the multifaceted social and personal needs of students, fostering holistic development within today’s complex educational landscape. By bridging the gap between academic learning and emotional intelligence, this initiative empowers students to become more accountable for their cognitive, emotional, and social growth.

These enrichment activities shift students from passive observers to active leaders. Participants are challenged to take a definitive stand for integrity and kindness, even when faced with peer pressure. By encouraging students to articulate their personal views, the program underscores the profound impact their daily choices and decisions have on their future selves and their community.

​

ANTI-BULLYING AWARENESS AND CYBER SAFETY CAMPAIGN

​

In an era where the classroom extends into the digital realm, this campaign serves as a critical shield and a moral compass.

• Promoting Empathy and Inclusion: Through workshops and peer-led discussions, students explore the psychological impact of bullying. The goal is to move beyond mere "tolerance" toward active upstander intervention, where students feel equipped to support victims and discourage harassment.

• Navigating the Digital Frontier: This component provides practical strategies for Cybersafety, focusing on the permanence of a digital footprint, protecting personal data, and recognizing the signs of cyberstalking or online grooming.

• Cultivating Digital Citizenship: We aim to foster a culture of "Think Before You Click," teaching students that kindness and accountability are just as vital behind a screen as they are face-to-face.

​

ANTI-DRUG PREVENTION AND AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

​

This campaign is built on the philosophy that informed students make empowered choices. Rather than relying solely on "fear-based" tactics, we focus on resilience and health literacy.

• Evidence-Based Education: Students receive factual information regarding the physiological and neurological effects of substance abuse. By demystifying the science of addiction, we provide a logical foundation for staying drug-free.

• Developing Refusal Skills: A core element of this campaign is role-playing and situational analysis. We help students develop the assertiveness and confidence needed to navigate social situations where they may encounter illicit substances.

• Promoting Positive Alternatives: This initiative highlights the importance of healthy coping mechanisms for stress—such as sports, arts, and community service—reminding students that their potential is best realized through a clear mind and a healthy body.

​

Our Vision: To graduate individuals who are not only academically proficient but are also defined by their courage, digital responsibility, and commitment to a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.
