Whole School approach to guidance and counselling
Whole school approach ensures that guidance and counselling are not isolated activities but an integral part of the school culture. By engaging teachers, leaders, students and families, this model creates a supportive environment where every learner can thrive. It provides schools with sustainable tools to promote wellbeing, inclusion, and career readiness.
