School years are full of growth, promise, excitement, hope, and sometimes a little frustration, and disappointment as well. It is the time when students begin to discover what the future holds for them, and learn.
The circle of happiness, inclusion and well-being is the essential part of the school system at the Indian High Group of Schools.
Counselling Services:
Counsellors collaborate with teachers and parents in the identification of various academic and psycho-socio-emotional needs, and further in providing the required scientific interventions. This plays a crucial role in both removing and preventing further barriers to learning that Students of Determination (SD) may be struggling with. All our intervention programs are tailored to the specific needs of the Students of Determination, ensuring the achievement of the best possible outcomes. Our focus is on developing skills and behaviours critical for academic achievement and holistic personal development.
We have a team of highly skilled and experienced Counsellors, Special Educators and Learning Support Assistants whose sole motto is to empower the Students of Determination to deal with a wide range of difficulties and challenges that they may face and carry out the whole school programs for wellbeing.
Career Guidance:
The Career Centre provides relevant and crucial career guidance to students by following a scientific, developmental and time-bound orientation towards guidance.
We conduct group sessions for students of Grade 8 for them to understand their interests so that they can take up activities that suit their future career. In Grade 9, group sessions based on personality and respective career choices are introduced. Grade 10 focuses on activities based on understanding innate aptitude and its match with future academic/career choice. This gives a comprehensive picture of their passion and future career choices and helps students and parents in:
- Self-awareness
- Researching and building up knowledge based on their interests
- Setting goals
- Making informed choices while choosing their stream of study
