ABSTRACT
Every school year, the Guidance In-Charge continually mediates among students brought by teachers from different year levels with problems varying from cutting classes, non-attendance, computer games addiction, gambling, vandalism, intoxicant drinking sessions within or near the campus, stealing, minor disputes and violent fist fighting, early intimate relationships and other disruptive behaviors that affect their academic performances.
During the school year 2009-2010, we had three thousand four hundred eighty six (3,486) enrollees in Jacinto P. Elpa National High School, Tandag, Surigao del Sur and there was only one School Guidance Counselor by then. The Guidance In-Charge as always, had done all that he can to be efficient in the job entrusted to him but there were times when the load of work was heavier than what his shoulders could carry for obvious reasons of imbalance between the number of his clients and his own limited capabilities.
For this reason, in coordination with the supportive and efficient leadership of the Principal, Madam Imelda C. Falcon, SSP IV, the School Guidance In-Charge has organized the SPAC or STUDENTS PEER ASSISTANCE CLUB. The first batch of active members in this club belongs to the graduating students of S.Y. 2010-2011 from the first section in RBEC (Revised Basic Education Curriculum) and SSC (Special Science Curriculum). In this study, I want to put into record the validity of the Students’ Peer Assistance Club’s existence in our school in terms of their efficiency/non-efficiency
THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK
The Students’ Peer Assistance Club (SPAC) is primarily created to assist the School Guidance Counselor in the following activities:
1. After having undergone a training on basic counseling technique
