Career Guidance
The School Careers Counselor works closely with students on their subject choices, university applications and career decisions through the formative years of secondary education. The counseling service organizes:
- Individual student consultations
- Parent discussions
- Career talks
- Student profiling
- Access to print materials and publications available in the library
- Advice on option selections (the Counselor’s endorsement is required on the school form)
- Talks by university representatives from Uganda and abroad
- An annual Careers Day (representing 20 organisations/professions).
University Applications
The School enjoys an excellent reputation for producing high calibre graduates who pursue university education. The Counselor formulates student transcripts and prepares testimonials required for further education applications. Alumni pursue further education in the USA, Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, the Middle East, Kenya and Uganda.
Counseling
The School’s qualified Social Counselor assists teenage students to cope with challenges that arise at home and in School. The pressure and stress adolescents experience is considerable from all directions. Counseling is therefore an essential component of teaching.
The School Counselor provides guidance to teachers to ensure that each one is able to be an effective counselor. Teacher input is essential for the Study Skills (for all students) and tutorial (for weaker students) programmes, which focus on building student confidence. Serious social disturbance cases can be referred to external specialists by parents.
The School Counselor also advises staff on incorporating HIV-AIDS information and awareness into their lessons and curricular material. Peer counseling has proven to be an effective means of reaching out to students. The Cl’qstaz, a local interest group, educates students through presentations on pertinent teenage issues.
