1.0 General
1.0.1 Whole School Evaluation
As a result of the WSE (2016) the following recommendation was made:
The roles of the pastoral care teacher, prefects and student council should be reviewed in the context of an evolving student support system.
St. Brigid’s College, Loughrea has met with the above recommendation in the following way.
Each Year Head meets with their Pastoral Care Team for that year group on a regular basis and records meetings of same. Pastoral Care teachers meet their groups on a regular basis as per guidance in teacher’s journal.
Prefects represent a cross section of students representing all student needs, backgrounds and abilities. Head prefects are on the Wellbeing Committee.
Each class group elects members of the student council who have an active role in the decision making in the school. Representatives are on the Wellbeing Committee.
As a result of the WSE (2011) the following recommendation was made:
Room for improvement in relation to information re subject choice
St. Brigid’s College, Loughrea has met with the above recommendation in the following way.
In addressing the ‘Room for improvement in relation to information re subject choice, the following improvements were carried out.

speaking with teachers in all the subject areas. Each subject area has an information sheet relevant to the subject.
A new subject option leaflet was designed making it more user friendly and colourful. This is distributed to student and parents.
Dedicated classes on subject choice for the students which consists of directed learning and self-directed learning using www.qualifax.ie and www.careersportal.ie which outlines comprehensively all the subject choices, curriculum, grades and career options.
Individual appointments with the Guidance Counsellor to discuss individual needs.
Students and Parents are survey to ensure that these needs are being met
1.0.2 Mission StatementThe mission statement of St. Brigid’s College is to provide the highest educational standards and facilities which will:
Enable our students to reach their full potential. Prepare our students to participate fully as good citizens in society.
To achieve these aims we provide: • A wide range of practical and academic subjects. • A broad range of sporting and recreational facilities. • A wide choice of extra-curricular activities to help students develop
personal and social skills.
The Guidance Plan reflects the statement in its student centred holistic approach. The enhancement of self-esteem, life skills and the development of potential - academic, personal and emotional - leading to greater personal autonomy for all students are its central goals.
1.0.3 Rationale
Whole School Guidance Plan
Whole School Guidance Plan
Section 9(c) of the Education Act (1998) requires schools to “...ensure that students have access to appropriate guidance to assist them in their career choices….”
The provision of guidance is a statutory requirement for schools under this Act.
1.0.4 Implications
The Act refers to access (to school resources, physical and personnel…) and appropriate guidance (i.e. whole school response to meeting the guidance needs of all its students).
Guidance is a core requirement of the school’s overall programme: this requires that it is an integral part of the school plan. The mission statement and the school ethos are reflected in the guidance plan.
1.0.5 What is guidance in schools?
Guidance counselling and Guidance and counselling refers to a range of learning experiences provided in a developmental sequence, designed to assist students to make choices about their lives and to make transitions to these choices. These choices may be categorised into three distinct but interlinked areas:
Personal and social Educational Vocational
Guidance activities that assist students make informed choices include:
Personal counselling Assessment using psychometric instruments and inventories (CAT 4
and Eirquest and Cambridge) Career information (classroom, personal, vocational guidance
interviews, mock interviews, attendance at career events, St. Brigid’s Career Expo, LCVP Career Investigation)
Use of information technology e.g. Qualifax and Careers Portal. Personal and social developmental programmes (SPHE). Wellbeing Programme
Whole School Guidance Plan
Whole School Guidance Plan
Counselling is a key part of the school guidance programme, offered on an individual basis by appointment/referral as part of a developmental learning process and at moments of personal crisis. Counselling may include personal counselling, educational counselling, career counselling or combinations of these.
Personal counselling aims to afford the student the opportunity to understand his/her personal crisis in a safe and supportive environment in order to facilitate his/her potential. In this safe and supportive environment the student can explore his/her thoughts and feelings and learn and explore methods which help to manage the various developments and challenges related to the adolescent phase of growing and changing. This personal counselling also aims to nurture and foster the student’s self-esteem and self-belief. Personal counselling, however, can only take place with the willingness by the student to co-operate and participate in the process. Aside from the guidance counsellor, counselling is an interdisciplinary approach involving the collaboration of teaching and support staff from various departments across the school life.
Educational counselling is progressive by nature and therefore is facilitated in stages in accordance to the stage each student is in his/her post-primary education. This counselling involves facilitating an understanding in students in the educational area of the choice of subjects, subject level, study skills and the examination process and skills required. This counselling also involves parental/guardian consultation about all matters related to this.
Career counselling involves the facilitation of the student to recognise his/her strengths and abilities and in turn relate these to make informed choices about future career choices. This empowers the student to take responsibility for his/her future.
1.0.6 Aims
The aim of the Guidance Plan is to facilitate and assist students’ acquirement of the pertinent knowledge, skills and approach that contribute to successful learning in the school environment and further across and into his/her life span. In doing this the Guidance Plan sets out to do the following:-
Provide a framework for the delivery of the school’s guidance programme.
Ensure a structured response to student’s personal, social, educational and vocational guidance needs.

Whole School Guidance Plan
Whole School Guidance Plan
6.0 Reporting Procedures
In both Personal Counselling and in Careers/Vocational Guidance Interviews the confidentiality rule is followed i.e. school management, class teacher, year head and/or parents/guardians are informed if it is felt that the student is a danger to him/herself and/or to others or it is a legal requirement. The student is informed of the limits of confidentiality at the beginning of a session. If it is felt it is in the student’s best interests to inform a Year Head/Parent/Guardian of a particular difficulty, this is only done with the knowledge and hopefully the agreement of the student.
7.0 In Career Development
To maintain qualified membership of the Institute of Guidance Counsellors a chartered Member must complete 10 hours of in-service training annually (IGC Constitution and Code of Ethics 2004).
In-Career development is essential to the work of the Guidance Counsellor. Regular attendance at local IGC meetings and Counselling Supervision is facilitated by the school through sensitive timetabling. The IGC AGM provides a range of in-service through the provision of workshops and presentations relevant to my work. Additional in-service is organised at local or/and at national level and is open to all registered current members of the IGC. The DES supports the provision of in-service for IGC members through funding. The IGC has numerous links with organisations e.g. Institute of Suicideology, IBEC, FAS, and IPAC. All offer in-career development. Attendance at open days, career seminars etc all constitute in-career development.
