The Wellbeing team welcomes you to the 2025 year, with a particularly enthusiastic welcome both to our new Year 7 families and to our Year 12 cohort. The 2025 Year 12 students spent their Year 7 and 8 years in and out of lockdown and faced considerable disruption and challenges when they returned to school in 2022. They are to be commended and acknowledged for their resilience in the face of these challenges.
The Wellbeing team offers support to young people and their families who are experiencing and dealing with a wide range of mental health and wellbeing concerns. The best way to get in contact with us is through your child’s Student Manager or House teams. Alternatively, if the issue is of a sensitive nature you can always call through the front office or send us an email directly. All email addresses can be found on the School TV website, see link below.

Leesa Moar, Team Leader and social worker (Monday through to Thursday)
