COUNSELINGSTUDENT

Student life can be rewarding and stimulating but can also have its share of stress. Students who are preoccupied with personal worries may find it hard to concentrate on their studies, they may feel isolated or depressed. Guidance and counselling are important for students, and schools have a huge role in bringing out the best in children. Good conduct is coveted, but sometimes young minds need guidance to polish their personality. Through counselling, students are given advice on how to manage and deal with emotional conflict and personal problems.

The counseling services at The Noor School offer support and constructive help when there are problems. The trained and experienced counseling staff is always ready to help students.

School counselors can give you all sorts of tips and support on solving problems and making good decisions. Chances are that whatever problem you have, your counselor has seen it before — and has lots of good advice on how to help you work through it. Counselors can give you tips on standing up for yourself if you're being bullied, managing stress, talking to your parents, and dealing with anger and other difficult moods. Counselors also can advise you on problems you may have with a teacher, such as communication difficulties or questions over grades. C
