Certificate Ceremony for TAC’s New Peer Counselors
TAC Peer Counseling Project involves students in the process of supporting their fellow classmates and younger students academically, socially and emotionally. Within the project, more and more students volunteer to be Peer Counselors every year and receive training.
TAC’s Peer Counselors (class of 2025) documented the completion of their training with a ceremony held in the Sadik Pasha Foyer. In the ceremony which saw the participation of Mrs Amanda Sunderman, Head of School, and the school’s guidance counselors, the importance of peer counseling training, the meaningful role students these students will play for TAC, and the responsibility on students were emphasized once again. Personally expressing the special importance of the project for her, Mrs. Sunderman congratulated the new cohort of peer counselors.
Prep Students Were Introduced to the TAC Library
TAC’s preparatory class students have completed their library orientation. Through presentations on the functioning and use of the library, our students were provided with the opportunity to get to know their libraries better. In the first part of the orientation, the students learned how to use the library resources, and in the second part, they successfully completed the tasks they were assigned in the QR code activity. TAC welcomes the youngest members of the TAC community and wish them a healthy and happy year.
