LIFESKILLS DEPARTMENT
Anne at her desk.
Anne has been responsible for the development of a comprehensive integrated Lifeskills Department. This is aimed at ensuring that all of our pupils are given every assistance in developing into mature, competent adults. We believe that the Lifeskills department should have several functions - to meet the varying needs of our community. Perhaps these brief descriptions give an idea of the scope of the support programme which we hope to extend even further in years to come. We believe that Wynberg Girls' High is unique in that while we strive for academic excellence, we strive equally to facilitate personal growth and maturity in all of our girls. Part of that, we believe is attained by providing a supportive, and caring environment. The appointment of Anne Alberts, a full-time therapist, in the Lifeskills Department at Wynberg Girls’ High School is a pro-active response to the particular stress-related theraputic needs of our students. Initiated by the Governing Body, immediate assistance is now always available to any pupil and her family. Because the cost of this kind of consultation can range upwards of R180 per session, this free service ensures that all of our girls have access to help on the school premises. Speakers in specialised areas are invited to address the pupils. These areas have included motivational talks, career counselling, coping with particular pressures and issues in modern life and self-defence. Four UCT Social Workers deployed to Wynberg These four young women have been a wonderful support to the Lifeskills department this year.
