Guidance and Counseling Office

    Exploration is the first step toward success. Vocational high school courses offer a rich and diverse range of career clusters, designed to suit students with varying aptitudes and help them develop practical skills, jump starting their future. To strengthen student career counseling and implement adaptive education, our school specifically offers vocational education courses for ninth graders. These courses provide parents, teachers, and students with an opportunity to understand and evaluate vocational learning options that align with their abilities, aptitudes, and interests. 

Time capsule: What do you want to say to your future self?" After our seventh-grade new students enroll, the guidance counseling class kicks off a time capsule activity in conjunction with the school's Life Education Month. Every student writes down messages they want to share with their future selves three years from now, expressing emotions, offering personal encouragement, or setting aspirations. Once the junior high school comprehensive assessment program concludes, they will open these messages. After three years, the moment they open their time capsules will be filled with excited anticipation, almost like stepping into a time tunnel, transported back to their first days as seventh graders. Through this time capsule activity, we hope our more mature selves will remember our original intentions from when we first started.

New year's resolution: During guidance counseling classes, teachers used various methods to guide students in reflecting on the past year and looking forward to the new one. Each student was asked to choose a single character that represents their hope for the upcoming year. 

    To celebrate our school's anniversary, hosting a career exploration challenge event has seemingly become an annual tradition. Through booths set up by vocational high schools, we provide parents, teachers, and students with an opportunity to learn about different career clusters and explore potential career paths, thereby gaining a more comprehensive understanding of these fields. 

    To promote international education, our gifted class offers special courses in English, Japanese, and Korean. These courses give students the chance to experience diverse cultures and develop their cross-cultural communication skills. Beyond just language learning, the curriculum also integrates unique cultural elements from each country. For example, students can try on Japanese yukata, make taiyaki, or fold traditional Korean hanbok. Additionally, they read at least one English short story each semester. Through these courses, students can broaden their global perspective, enhance their competitiveness, and build a strong foundation for future international exchanges and collaborations. 

    To help students with special needs adapt well to school, we hold an orientation for seventh-grade special needs students at the beginning of the school year. This promotes a welcoming and inclusive classroom environment, helping classmates understand the educational needs of these students and fostering correct attitudes and concepts. Through these activities, students learn to respect differences, appreciate diversity, and further enhance their empathy and cooperation skills.
