Wellbeing
Supporting our young people
With the recent tragic death of one of our Yr 12 students, we want to make sure that parents and carers have the information and resources needed to support their young people to manage their grief and feelings.
The links below provide some good, practical ideas for supporting young people as well as information to support parents and carers in their caring role.
Please don’t hesitate to contact the school if your young person requires additional support. We will do whatever we can to facilitate the support needed.

ClearlyMe App - is a mental health app to see teens through tough times. ClearlyMe is designed for teens aged 12-17 and can be downloaded for free from the App Store or Google Play Store.
ClearlyMe has been designed by teens for teens and can help teens to:
Think and feel better when they’re going through a tough time. Research by the Black Dog Institute has shown that ClearlyMe is effective in reducing depressive symptoms in teens.
Be the best version of themselves and get the most out of school and life. Research by the Black Dog Institute has shown that ClearlyMe is effective in improving teen quality of life.
Get to know themselves, their thoughts, feelings and actions. ClearlyMe activities use evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) elements.
Show them they are not alone and help is available if they need it. ClearlyMe incorporates real stories from other young people and how they navigated tough times.
