Student Support

Free Fruit

Fruit is free everyday from the Caf, thanks to Heather and Foodbank. 

Breakfast Club will recommence on Friday 20th February, with toast and fruit. We will also be trialling cereal for all, every Friday morning from 08.30 onwards.

Fruit is free for you and me,

Swing by the Caf for your Vitamin C!

A wee bit peckish? Have an apple,

It helps you with the concentration grapple!

Boost your vitamins if you’re feeling tired!

Just see Heather, no money required!

Meet the Team

Our team consists of Rhona, Leah and Pip. Rhona begun her role as Student Wellbeing Mentor this year and is at school on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday each week. Leah is the School-based Nurse, and is at school every second Thursday and Pip, who’s the Mental Health Practitioner, is at school every Monday and Tuesday.

Rhona says “I am delighted to be joining the school community as the Student Wellbeing Mentor! I came to Falls Creek 15 years ago to do one final ski season, before returning to Scotland – but didn’t ever make it back! I have two wonderfully enthusiastic wee boys and I love skiing and being outdoors!”

We will be starting lunchtime clubs in the first week of March commencing with Crochet and Knitting on Monday lunchtimes and Origami on Tuesday lunchtimes.

We’d love to hear from any keen crocheters and knitters who can help us in these meetings and any ideas from students about what they’d like to do for the lunchtime clubs.

Rhona and Pip can be found in the Staff Room.
