The Guidance and Counseling Department is committed to provide students with a wide range of learning experiences which will prepare them to be positive, healthy and productive individuals in which its process is emphasized on meeting the developmental needs of students in the intellectual, physical, social and emotional areas, in addition to career planning, preparation and placement.

The vision of the Guidance and Counseling Department is to be an integral part of each school’s total educational program and to be essential for every student’s success. A program that reaches every student and emphasizes a more proactive, wellness oriented approach.

It is developmental by design and includes sequential activities organized and implemented by competent guidance counselors and other staff in collaboration with administrators, teachers, students, parents and other community partners. The basic premise of the developmental approach is that all students need counseling related services and that many important aspects of adolescent development can be effectively delivered to larger groups of students with common needs.

The Guidance and Counseling Department aims to provide programs and services relevant and responsive to the changing needs of the PWU students and growing demands of the society. Through embarking on a developmental process of molding adolescents in a globally competitive milieu, the following objectives are hoped to achieve:

• To assist the students in discovering, understanding and actualizing well-defined moral values, beliefs and principles essential for a balanced life
