There is a clear recognition that adolescence is a very challenging time for most young people. The Guidance service offers a safe, confidential space to enable young people to discern and understand themselves at a delicate time in their lives. A range of interventions are used to ensure that each person is seen and given appropriate support so he or she can make the very most of this precious time in his or her life. The fundamental goal is to build capacity, resilience and resourcefulness so each student can be as independent as possible and face the future with confidence.
