Catholic Care/ OOSH
Catholic Care - SJB Counsellor
At Saint Josephs, we have a Catholiccare Counsellor onsite Tuesdays, to offer mental health and wellbeing support to our students. See the link for more info.
You maybe thinking your kiddo needs some professional support with their mental emotional wellbeing, but you're not one hundred percent sure, or really know how to go about that. Click the link for more.
Reminder: If your child was receiving support from the School Counsellor last year, and you would like that to continue in 2025, you will need to refill out the referral forms, which can be accessed at the admin office, or via your childs teacher.
