The major aim of counselling is to encourage students' academic, social, emotional and personal development. We work with teachers, parents as well as students. We organise programs such as career guidance, social skills programme, and orientation. A committee addresses offences; discipline is emphasized as a virtue necessary for success; staff devotional meetings and spiritual assemblies support holistic development and spiritual mentoring.
Learning support recognises each child as unique and addresses different abilities. It covers needs such as intellectual disabilities and ADHD. It provides a plan for the child, alternative methods of assessment, remedial classes, one-on-one teaching and extra attention.
Mental wellbeing is a core focus of counselling/mentoring. It supports emotional health through counselling, mentoring and collaboration with teachers and parents. It fosters resilience, attitudes that enable growth and social skills; spiritual mentoring and daily devotional activities complement well-being.
