Counselling

Counselling is an opportunity for students to:

• share with the School Counsellor concerns/difficulties they might have,

• receive support during difficult situations they might be going through,

• find solutions to their problems, if necessary.

School Counsellors are trained to help students with their difficulties. There are also trained Teacher-Counsellors to support students who may feel more comfortable speaking to a teacher.

Why see a School Counsellor?

Students may experience situations that are difficult to cope with.  Having support can be helpful. These could be:

• Problems with friendships (e.g. making friends, perceptions of bullying)

• Problems at school (e.g. not coping with school tasks)

• Problems at home with siblings and/or parents

• Problems with grief/loss, anxiety, stress, learning, etc.

How can I get in touch with our School Counsellor?

• Students and parents may request to do so:
  • Through their teachers 
  • Through a hardcopy form at the School General Office
• Students can also use the MGS student website under “Get in touch”
• Teachers may also make a referral directly to the School Counsellor, if deemed necessary.
