12. Role of Guidance Counsellor
A high proportion of Guidance resources are given over to Sixth Year students – they are our priority
Each Sixth Year class is assigned class contact time with their Guidance Counsellor
Each Sixth Year student will be assigned a one to one appointment before the midterm with their designated Guidance Counsellor and they can have as many appointments throughout the year
Encourage your child to continue to make appointments. Parents may also make appointments

16. Study Skills
Guidance Counsellors will work with Sixth Year students in drawing up a Study Timetable that strikes a balance between school, homework, study and leisure time.
Parents are encouraged to participate in this process as they will play a huge role in supporting their child throughout the year.
Be aware of their study plan
Ensure they have a quiet, organised place to study
Limit distractions e.g. Facebook/texting
Remember your child has to strike a balance between school, study and leisure.
