Social-Emotional Counselling
Social-Emotional Counsellors and Learning Enhancement teachers collaborate with students, staff and parents to support students’ academic, social, and emotional growth.
Counselling Department
The Counselling Department aims to offer support and advocacy to develop the social and emotional competence and well-being of secondary students at CIS. In doing so our counsellors aim to enhance students' ability to overcome obstacles, and reach their full potential. Students in the Secondary school can self refer, or can be referred by Heads of Year, teachers, advisors or parents. Our counsellors also welcome students and parents to meet with them as a family. Support can be offered in many forms from informal chats to ongoing counselling sessions. Our counsellors also provide formal presentations as part of the curriculum and outreach to the community in classrooms, advisory and assemblies.
Learning Enhancement
Learning Enhancement (LE) aims to provide support services for students to receive the direction, time, encouragement, and resources to reach their potential. Students with learning exceptionalities might experience transient or persistent difficulties, and the LE department aims to provide the necessary support for them to meet the academic demands of the rigorous curriculum. For Year 7-10, the LE department offers some small-group and in-class support for qualifying students, and for Year 11-13 provides organisation and time management coaching, as well as accommodated exam settings for students who meet the IB’s criteria.
