CENTRE
OF CHILD PSYCHOLOGY-CONSULTATION (KEPAISY)
IN LEONTEIO LYKEIO PATISSION
The
centre has been in operation since 1979. It readjusts its services
according to modern needs and the latest findings of Psychology
and Pedagogics. It is open on a daily basis from 9 am to 2
pm throughout the school year.
It is run by a School Psychologist, a specialist in Educational Psychology,
Mrs Revecca Galiatsatou.
It
helps :
1.
Students of all levels (Primary-Junior High-Senior High)
a) individually, with intelligence, personality
and interests tests,
b) on a group level (special maturity teams aiming
at self-awareness),
c) through the institution of Career Advising (SEP),
initially introduced at
Primary School, which helps students gradually
discover their inclinations,
interests, ambitions and personality. The process
comes to an end at the
first grade of Senior High School with a special
battery test (Career
Advising Test), set up by trained school teachers
and the School
Psychologist. By analysing the test findings and
through personal
interviews we help our adolescent students realize
what their tendencies
and skills are and attune them to their wishes
and expectations.
2.
Parents
a) with individual interviews,
b) with the Parents' School
3.
Teachers of all levels
a) with individual interviews,
b) with monthly pedagogical sessions (attended
by teachers of class
cycles in Primary School),
c) with class activities, group tests, sociology
graphs or games promoting
creative imagination,
d) with seminars for the teaching staff (once or
twice per year), or with
groups of teachers according to their interests
and needs that result from
the Pedagogical sessions (three or four times per
year).
The
role of the Centre for Child Psychology is strictly consultative
and functions within the framework of Prevention only.
