Counselling
Counselling
Counselling is a way of helping students with personal problems; it is very important ingredient in shaping students’ behavior and performance especially in schools.
As aptly said that the school serves as a second home for the students. As the child grows and blossoms, he / she face a variety of personal problems. Students with various problems in schools need to be listened to.
We have a strong pastoral care system starting with Teachers, Principal and most of the personal issues are handled by them.
Tips for Parents
- As a parent and/or guardian, you are a valuable stakeholder in your student’s educational success. Your student’s education is as important to you as it is to Nuview’s Staff. Here are some valuable Tips to become more involved in your student’s academic, social, and emotional growth.
- Are you aware of your students feelings toward their learning environment? If not ask them. Talk to them about their likes and dislikes about school. Ask them about their day, but request more than a simple “yes, no or ok,” answer. Find out about what they learned during the day, who they talked to, what they talked about, what they ate, what they played for recess, and maybe even ask them to teach you something they learned that day J. It is important to be involved in your student’s everyday life. Give them a chance to express their anxieties, fears, success/achievements and efforts. Most importantly continue to support and encourage them through their achievements and bad days by expressing and showing praise.
- Don’t have limits to the support you show your student, expand it to their teacher as well. Meet and get to know their teacher. Have regular communication with their teacher. This will allow for opportunity to discuss any concerns and diffuse any issues as they occur. Communication will make you more aware of what is going on in the classroom, on campus, give the opportunity to ask questions and be involved. This will also make it easier by enhancing the level of comfort for your teacher to contact you with concerns about your child. Remember that communication is key for success between parent/guardian, student and teacher.
- Being involved will also demonstrate to your student that their education is not only valuable to them, but to you as well.
- Possibly, one of the best ways to encourage and assist in your student’s educational success is by demonstrating to your child that you expect achievement and growth. This does not mean that you demand all A’s on their report card, only 100% scores, for them to be the best student/athlete/artist, but rather expect for them to do their best. Remember that we promote Growth Mindset at our school. Expecting student’s best effort is a step forward in academic and social growth. Demand that your student always “give their best/ try their hardest” and praise them for their efforts and accomplishments
