Confidentiality:

We want you to feel safe while seeking support! Our services are completely voluntary and confidential. We won’t share anything without your permission, except where there’s a legal requirement or a need to protect someone’s safety.

What is the referral process?

If you’re worried about your child's learning, mental health, or overall well-being, the best first step is to talk to the class teacher. They can help connect you with the Learning and Support Team, who will guide you on the next steps. We’re here to help, and we’re looking forward to supporting our students and families in any way we can.
