In Advisory today, Ms. Ibtihal, our new school counselor, came to talk to the G8 students.
We are working hard to lift the stigma of counseling services at ABIS. Many of the students don’t tap into this valuable resource.
Generally, people think it is just for problems, which isn’t the case.
Ms. Ibtlihal discussed all of the areas that she can assist them with, including time management, self-management, subject-specific support, and healthy habits. Students placed questions and worries they have on post-it notes. Ms. Ibtihal and I will look at these, and they will inform future sessions. There were common themes around grade anxiety and time management, which we can help them with.
We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our new students in G8. Alix, Nabhya and Zeynep. You have all settled in really well, and we are impressed with how hard you are working. Well done!!
