Objectives

 

The Student Support Office aims to provide students with the means for dialogue about:

• problems arising from relationships with family, friends, teachers,

• doubts about sexuality, drugs, emotional relationships,

• conflicts with parents,

• life plans, school guidance and

• issues of a social nature,

• in an atmosphere of openness, availability, trust and confidentiality.

To achieve this, the intention is to offer students a space for dialogue and reflection, which they can spontaneously access, in order to:

• contribute to the student's inclusion in the School;

• support the harmonious and integral development of the students;

• contribute to the development of responsible attitudes;

• increase good relationships between students and the other elements of the educational community / promote a good school climate;

• promote education for citizenship, values and healthy habits.

Areas of intervention for the GAA are:

• Self-esteem and motivation;

• Sex education/sexuality;

• Absenteeism;

• Bullying and violence;
