Student Wellbeing

Wellbeing Resources
I would like to acknowledge the excellent work that all parents/carers are doing in supporting the students with their educational tasks. This can be overwhelming at times and it is important to look after yourself and your child in the process.
It is important for our wellbeing to have regular breaks and keep active.

The Wellbeing Team absolutely recognise that this is a challenging time for everyone, so please be assured that we will continue to provide support to parents, carers and students. During these times we are operating a more flexible approach to enable access to wellbeing staff members.
If you and your child are currently working with a school counsellor, please continue to work with this counsellor. They will make contact with you but if you wish, please feel free to make contact with them via email or mobile phone.
If you have concerns in relation to your child’s wellbeing or if your child would like to speak to one of our school counsellors please contact:
