The Counselling and Guidance Services Career section of Sekolah Menengah Sultan Sharif Ali (SMSSA) in Kg Salambigar, Jalan Muara, held a Group Counselling Workshop recently for its Secondary Five students who will sit for their GCE 'O' Levels.

The event began with a recitation of surah al-Fatihah, followed by a welcoming speech from Zamain Abdul, the Deputy Principal Administration and Finance.

Also present at the workshop was the Counsellor Consult, Ali Yusri Abd Ghafor from the Division of Guidance and Counselling Talent Works, Department of Schools, the Ministry of Education.

The school, through its Counselling and Career Guidance Services, invited other counsellors from Berakas Secondary School, Sayyidina Abu Bakar Secondary School, Lambak Kiri Secondary School, Pg Isteri Hjh Mariam Secondary School, Pehin Dato Seri Maharaja Secondary School and Sayyidina Hussein Secondary School.

In these workshops, students will focus on a few things to build goals, change negative attitudes to positive ones and so forth.

A total of 11 groups from 200 students were involved in the programme. The participants were placed in several locations, like classes, libraries, the multipurpose hall and other parts of the school's premises.

The workshop's purpose was to increase self-confidence, as well as to learn from mistakes and weaknesses faced by the students themselves.
