Personal and Social Education (PSE)
The PSE programme in the High School is largely delivered
to students via mentor group time and during assembly
each week. The programme follows closely the experience of
students as they progress through their courses.
Counsellors

It seeks to integrate an awareness of global development
and environmental issues into the College’s educational
programme. GC aims to increase students’ awareness
of these issues and to enable committed students to do
something about their concerns. Through the motto ‘Turning
Ideas into Action,’ GCs aim to:
• promote desirable values and action among students
• raise awareness and educate students about broader issues
relating to specific projects
• encourage students to be aware, informed and active
• highlight the values of service and environmental
awareness
• foster amongst the students the sense of belonging to
