The document provides instructions for an assignment on counselling for a course on Introduction to Guidance and Counselling. Students are required to interview a school counsellor and write a proposal for the principal of a secondary school explaining the meaning of counselling, its importance in schools, current mental health issues faced by students, and recommendations for the school to address these issues. The proposal will be graded based on clarity, accuracy, understanding of counselling, references, writing style, and APA format. Students must address the meaning of counselling from various professional perspectives, discuss the importance and approaches of counselling in schools, provide evidence on mental health issues faced by students from journal articles and news reports, and give three recommendations for the school.
