If you feel you or your child would like some additional support or to talk to someone, please find a brief list of counselling and support services local to the school; you can self-refer anytime.

Parent line is a state-wide telephone counselling and support service for all Victorian parents and carers of children from 0-18 years. Experienced social workers, psychologists and family therapists can give you counselling and information around a wide range of parenting issues.
