Message from the Counselling Department
Mental Health Day - October 10th, 2023
Mental health includes emotional, psychological, and social well-being, meaning it impacts multiple areas of one’s life. It also affects how individuals feel, think, act, and relate to others.
Each year, millions of people face the reality of living with mental illness. Therefore, since 2013, World Mental Health Day has been marked on October 10 to raise awareness about mental health around the world and to support those experiencing mental health issues, with the aim to reduce the stigma and encourage people to get professional support.

Animal Welfare Group (AWG) Thank You for Your Support
For those who bought items and/or donated money at our stall during the Fun Run and Pop-up Sale afterwards, we would like to extend our thanks and gratitude. We raised 8 500 TL which enabled us to clear two vet bills. The money covered the costs of sterilization for both Cookie and Midnight, two kittens who were born on campus last April and are now living happily in a garden in Bahcesehir. We were also able to pay the vet bills for a street dog that one of our support staff found injured near the school. Read more..
