GTO's Vision
We envision the GTO, through the Guidance and Counseling Program, as a helpful instrument in unfolding before each Bosconian his full potentials as a person in touch with God; and with Christ, the Master and Model of St. John Bosco. As a result, he becomes a young servant-leader empowered to live, to love, to learn, and to leave a legacy as he reaches out in fellowship and service to his family, school, and community.

Anak Ng Nangibang-bansa Aruga at Kaagapay (ANAK) Webinar
This activity aims to assist students in their journey and struggles as children of OFW parents and OFW returnees. The UGAT Foundation, a non-profit organization, and is an apostolate for grassroots families, is the facilitator of the program.

One of our priorities is to create a more welcoming and supportive school environment by acquainting all students and parents with the programs and services of the GTO.
Individual Inventory
We want to know our students better. By filling out the Information Sheet, it will help us determine who among the Bosconians need further interventions and monitoring.

One way of monitoring the student's progress is through administering a battery of psychological tests. This program is only available for Grade 6, 10, and 11 and this is made possible through our partnership with the Asian Psychological Services and Assessment.
Gender Sensitivity Webinar
A talk for Grade 10 students to help them be aware of and be sensitive to treating the opposite gender.

GTO Hotline
Referral
Parents, advisers, subject teachers, and classmates may refer a student for counseling especially those who have academic, relationship, home, mood, and behavior concerns. In cases where it is beyond the counselor's expertise, the counselor may refer the student to a specialist/therapist.
Consultation
Parents, advisers, and subject teachers may set up a conference with the counselor should there be any concerns or changes concerning the student's personal, academic, social, and emotional behavior. Consultations can be done through the GTO Hotline.
