The Guidance Counsellors, Careers Adviser and Deans believe it is important for boys to achieve to their full potential and will take time to see any boy or parent who requires counselling or guidance.

All boys are given assistance to cope with personal and family issues. Counsellors liaise with community agencies when the need arises for more specialised help.

Counsellors also assist with enquiries in these areas: student allowances, Correspondence School, student exchange programmes, Spirit of Adventure Trust, the Peer Support Programme and Peer Mediation.

Learner Support Department offers support for students with learning difficulties as well as assistance during exams.
