7 Student Counselling

Student Counselling

As Counsellors, we work closely with the Form Tutors to assist the students in their selection of courses and to arrange and adjust student schedules as needed throughout the year. We also follow up on academic, social and emotional concerns about our students. These concerns may be communicated by the students themselves, other students, teachers, administrators or parents. The important point is that we work together. To borrow from Aung San SuuKyi, “We will surely get to our destination if we join hands.”
Finally, we hope to be a resource to our parent community. In partnership with the Parent Student Association, monthly meetings are held to provide information on a set reference issues namely:
a) To appraise the parents of the progress of their child and share the student’s strengths and areas of difficulty.
b) To enable an open and positive environment for communication between the teachers and parents.
c) To work in partnership towards a common goal to improve the school and aim for higher academic progress for the students.
d) To provide an opportunity for the school to share information with parents like the monthly and yearly schedule, the school discipline and behaviour policy.
The BLPS goals are to foster respect, responsibility, trust, and diversity with the aim to inspire the responsible citizen within all our students. Together as a parent-faculty team we are sure to meet or exceed these expectations for your child.
