Psychological Counseling

 The psychological counselor (PC) at RISE supports students' emotional and behavioral well-being, specializing in mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and stress. The PC offers individual counseling, leads small-group discussions, and delivers classroom presentations on social-emotional development. The counselor also collaborates with teachers and professionals to develop strategies for supporting students' emotional needs and enhancing their overall well-being.

 RISE offers college counseling to guide students through the admissions process and help them plan for their academic and career goals. The college counselor helps students identify strengths and interests, explore college options, and provides support with essay writing, interview preparation, and test-taking. They assist with application submissions and financial aid forms, and lead workshops on college readiness topics. These services aim to help students achieve their post-secondary aspirations and succeed in their future academic and career endeavors.

  • Monitoring and tracking academic progress, and communicating with parents about performance.
  • Providing extra help for struggling students and challenging activities for advanced learners.
  • Developing positive relationships with students and fostering a safe, respectful classroom environment.

  • Enforcing school policies and addressing disciplinary issues.
  • Organizing and supervising class activities, such as field trips and celebrations.

Class teachers are mentors and advocates, ensuring students receive the support needed to succeed both academically and personally.

Duke of Ed Awards

 

The Duke of Edinburgh's International Award is a youth development program for young people aged 14 to 24 in over 130 countries. The non-competitive program allows participants to set personal goals and work at their own pace with the support of adult mentors. It consists of four sections:

  1. Physical Recreation: Choose a physical activity and set goals to improve fitness.
  2. Skills: Develop a chosen skill and set improvement goals.
  3. Service: Engage in a community service project to make a positive impact.
  4. Adventurous Journey: Plan and complete an adventurous journey to build teamwork, leadership, and resilience.

Participants who complete all four sections at Bronze, Silver, or Gold levels receive a certificate and medal. The award is highly valued by universities and employers and adds significant value to resumes and college applications.
