Orientación Educativa y Psicológica en el Colegio Santa Gema

GUIDANCE

At Colegio Santa Gema Galgani, the Guidance Department plays a key role in providing holistic support to students throughout their entire educational journey.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION

The Guidance Department is a cornerstone in supporting and monitoring the early development of our youngest learners. From this stage, we work to identify any potential special educational needs or developmental challenges, promoting early interventions that support the child’s overall growth. We aim to ensure a safe and enriching environment that lays the foundation for future learning while respecting each child’s individual pace.

PRIMARY EDUCATION

In Primary, the department focuses on identifying and addressing educational needs, promoting inclusion, and providing strategies that support both learning and well-being. This includes individual psycho-pedagogical assessments and the administration of Habilmind group evaluations. In collaboration with teachers and families, we design and monitor intervention plans, curricular adaptations, and social-emotional development programs.

SECONDARY EDUCATION (ESO)

At this stage, the department provides comprehensive support for both academic and personal development. We promote self-awareness, academic planning, and decision-making in close collaboration with tutors, families, and teaching staff. We coordinate the Tutorial Action Plan (PAT) and conduct psycho-pedagogical assessments to address specific needs.

Through the School for Families, we also offer guidance and support for parents, encouraging open and ongoing communication.

BACCALAUREATE

We provide holistic guidance to support students in academic decision-making, university and career selection, and preparation for the University Entrance Exams (PAU). Individualized support is offered in close collaboration with teachers and families, helping students make informed decisions aligned with their goals.

ATTENTION TO DIVERSITY

We work to prevent, detect, and intervene in cases of learning, emotional, social, or personal difficulties, in coordination with tutors, teaching staff, families, and external resources.

GROUP PSYCHO-PEDAGOGICAL ASSESSMENTS

Every two years, Primary and Secondary students complete a battery of tests that generate an individual psycho-pedagogical report with personalized recommendations. The results also include a global analysis of the school’s performance with inter-school comparisons, serving as a valuable tool for external evaluation.

TUTORIAL ACTION

We collaborate with tutors to plan and implement tutorial programs that promote emotional regulation, problem-solving skills, social interaction, empathy, assertiveness, learning strategies, and other key life skills.

ACADEMIC AND CAREER GUIDANCE

We support students in making informed academic and career decisions by helping them explore university and professional options. We guide students through the decision-making process and foster self-awareness of their interests and abilities.
To support this, we organize a University and Career Fair, invite professional guest speakers, and offer educational placements in companies and institutions.

SCHOOL FOR FAMILIES

The team offers both individual and group advisory services to families through the school’s School for Families program. Each academic year, we hold a variety of sessions that focus on the key developmental aspects of each educational stage.

Mediation Team (Coexistence)

The Guidance Department trains and supports a team of 36 Secondary students whose main goals are to prevent school violence and promote a positive social-emotional climate.

The team operates in three key areas:

Conflict Resolution. Through training, research, sharing experiences, and role-playing techniques, students work on the conflict resolution process—defining the conflict, identifying causes, and exploring possible solutions.
Social Skills. The program enhances key social skills in the student mediators, such as active listening, empathy, and assertiveness, among others.
Preventing Bullying. The aim is to raise awareness of this issue within the school community through the following actions:
- Raising awareness of what bullying means for victims, potential aggressors, and bystanders.
- Helping students recognize warning signs that may indicate a bullying situation in their classes (behaviors, actions, etc.).
- Providing tools and strategies to confront bullying, such as breaking the silence and seeking help, speaking up about the situation, offering support to the victim, and facilitating intervention by teachers and the school psychologist.
