EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING DEPARTMENT

At BVHS, we hope to inculcate a culture of care where wellbeing is prioritized as much as academics. Thus our Emotional Wellbeing Department offers a unique opportunity for Senior School students to become equal partners in their care by providing Counselling as a voluntary activity. The Senior School Counsellors provide emotional and social support to students on a walk-in and ongoing basis, as well as teacher and parental guidance related to students’ social, emotional and learning needs as they navigate the challenges and demands of increasing academic pressures.
