We are a second opportunity school, so our students are ALL somehow “disadvantaged”
DEPARTMENT OF GUIDANCE AND COUNSELLING • The Department of Guidance and Counselling is a key stone when dealing with disadvantaged students. • The school counselor meets the needs of the students and helps them with three main domains: • Academic development: getting sure they´re fit in the right course, subject… • Career development • Personal/social development: when the student´s behaviour , background, etc is interfering with his/her achievement
DROPOUT PREVENTION PROGRAM • Many students start at our school and they never finish mainly because they find difficulty in acquiring the aims of the curriculum. • To avoid this, we offer • Extra support lessons • Remedial classes • Literacy and Pre-secondary Education Courses • for students with risk factors for dropout.
