The Boarding Student Orientation of the Counseling Department
The orientation program for boarding students of 2019 - 2020 started on Saturday, September 07 at 14.30 with the arrival of students and parents to the campus. In order to support the new boarding students, our peer counselors accompanied them on this day and introduced themselves. Families and students had the opportunity to receive information and ask questions through dialogue with peer counselors.
After the dinner attended by parents, students, peer counselors and teachers, parents left the campus, leaving the students in the dormitory. The students then participated in the integration activity organized by TAC psychological counselors; getting to know each other and the counseling department. Emotions were shared, common activities were conducted and students were asked about their expectations. The event ended with the good wishes of the students for the year.
Orientation activities for boarders continued on Sunday, 8 September with breakfast with parents and students, and at 10.30 with the English proficiency exam. While the students were in the exam, our counseling department involved the parents in a meeting. All the parents introduced themselves in order, divided into groups and asked to answer questions within the group. The activity concluded with responses to questions by the Counseling Department, about issues related to school and boarding life, and the letters written by parents to their children.
After lunch, our parents left the campus. Immediately afterwards, our new boarding students spent time with peer counselors. In the orientation activities led by the peer counselors, our boarding students had the opportunity to ask questions about the school as well as having an enjoyable time.
