Student Support Services: Counselling Support
All of us may experience challenges or struggles at different points of our life. Most of the time, we cope by sharing our thoughts with our trusted family, friends and other significant adults in our lives. Sometimes, the challenges resolve, but there might be some days when the challenges might be hard to handle. On these days, you may wish to speak to the school counsellors or student welfare officer.
In Marsiling Secondary School (MSS), counselling services are offered to students who require support to navigate through their difficulties. Through counselling, students are offered a safe space to share about their concerns and work towards improving their mental health and mental well-being.
Our student support services are here to provide you with the necessary support that you need:
