Orange card system

Any student at OLA is allowed to use the Orange card if they need a break from the classroom or playground- no explanation required. Orange cards are accessible to all students. 

The child will hand the card to the office staff who will let a member of the Wellbeing team know. 

Chill Out Room 

Is a space students use to:

• calm down if angry, sad or distressed
• identify poor choices and discuss better choices
• reflect on their actions
• talk to the Wellbeing leader about any worries they may have
• have time out of the classroom if feeling overwhelmed.

The room has:

• posters to support students with apologizing, making better choices, calm breathing techniques
• playdough, art supplies, toys, books

Occupational therapists work with children and young people of all abilities to support participation at school to achieve their best outcomes from their education. Each person is an individual, so their needs will be to. MOIRA’s occupational therapists conduct assessments to identify individual goals, strengths and barriers to learning, then recommend strategies or changes to the environment to increase a student’s capacity to participate.

Advanced Psychology

AP is a newly established private practice, that aims to improve the quality of life for individuals and families. Even though our psychologists have years of experience, as we are a new practice, we have immediate availability for referrals for therapy and assessments, available both face-to-face and via Telehealth.

AP provides assessments for Specific Learning Disorder (such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia), Autism, and ADHD for clients of all ages. We offer therapeutic services for a range of mental health conditions commonly present in children, adolescents, and adults, such as emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, stress, sleep issues, inattentiveness, and challenging behaviour. We work closely with individuals as well as the whole family to develop healthy and sustainable long-term coping mechanisms in order for them to thrive in all areas of their lives.
