Support from wellbeing can be accessed via:

  • Staff-referrals (eg. house leaders and learning mentors)
  • Self-referrals via email or in-person
  • Parent request via phone or email.

The wellbeing Team will respect student confidentiality. However, there are times when ensuring student safety and/or wellbeing requires us to speak with a carer/guardian and/or other professionals. Wherever possible, this is done with the student’s knowledge.
