School Counsellors & WHIN Coordinator
Our school counsellors and Wellbeing Health In-Reach Nurse (WHIN) play a vital role in supporting the wellbeing of our students. They provide a safe and confidential environment where students can discuss personal, emotional, or social challenges. Referrals to these services can be made by students themselves, parents/carers, or teaching staff. We encourage early engagement with these support services to promote positive mental health and overall wellbeing. Our team is committed to working collaboratively with students, families, and staff to ensure every student has the support they need to thrive both academically and personally.
