Guidance and care

At EOA -Velp, as a student you always have a mentor. He or she helps you find your way in school. Sometimes you need extra help. Then there are people with special knowledge to give you that help.

Mentor
Do you have a question or problem? Go to your mentor to talk about it. Together you will find a solution and otherwise your mentor will know who can help you best. Your parents can also go to your mentor if they have questions. Besides your mentor, there are other people at school who help you:

Contact person (confidant)
Sometimes it is difficult to tell your own mentor a problem.
That is why there is a contact person at school. She is willing to listen to any problem and will not tell others. She can (sometimes) give advice on how to deal with problems.

Contact:
Antoinet van Berkel, a.vanberkel@merletcollege.nl

School career counselors/deans
Contact school if you or your parents have questions about:

  • placement in the correct class
  • preparing your transfer to a new school

School doctor (GGD)
The school doctor checks that you are healthy and that you can participate in sports. She checks that you have had your vaccinations. She talks to your parents/caregivers and also your family doctor if she finds health problems. The school doctor is also called in for absenteeism.
