Career Guidance and Counselling is a core part of our Pastoral Care System at the Curragh Community College. Our Guidance Department has a caring and supportive role in the school where students can get advice and supports about a range of issues. From relationships to study skills and family difficulties to college advice and information, the Guidance Counsellor is on hand to meet with students in a confidential environment where they can be cared for and supported throughout their time in the school.
Counselling helps pupils explore their thoughts and feelings and the choices open to them. It gives care and support to pupils learning to cope with the many aspects of growing up and school life and with their individual personal circumstances. Curragh Community College endeavours to offer a comprehensive guidance and counselling service to all our students. The Guidance Counsellor liases with Home School Community Liaison (HSCL), Year Heads, Tutors, Class Teachers, Special Needs Assistants, Deputy Principal and Principal. They also have contact with parents, psychologists, employers, colleges, social services, counsellors and the Department of Education.
The Career Guidance and Counselling Dept within Curragh Community College provides support for all students in three main areas:
– Personal and Social Guidance
– Educational Guidance
– Career and Vocational Guidance
