School Counselling

School counselling staff are members of the school learning and support team.

A teacher may recommend the service by referring a student to the school’s learning and support team. As a parent or carer, you may refer your child directly to the school counselling service. Students can also self-refer to the service.

The school counselling service can:

• support students who are worrying about school work, friends, getting in trouble at school or feeling down
• help parents and carers make decisions about your child’s education
• assess a student’s learning and behaviour
• help teachers and students identify and address disabilities that may affect learning
• liaise with other agencies regarding student wellbeing.

School counselling is confidential.

School Chaplain

Our school has taken part in the voluntary National Schools Chaplaincy Program, since early 2016. Our School Chaplain / Wellbeing Support Officer,  Mrs Ruth Middleton  works closely with the Learning Support Team and School Principal, to complement well-being services within the school.

Ruth is available to support the social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of students, staff and families, regardless of faith or background. She also provides a trusted, caring presence within the school, having the time and training to listen, support and refer appropriately. Programs are run to help students develop self- esteem, friendships, support in dealing with grief and loss, and to build personal resilience. She currently works 3 days a week (Wed/Thurs/ Fri)

How do I access the Chaplaincy Service?

To contact the School Chaplain, or make an appointment, please phone our School Administration Office on 9484 4700 (Wed/Thur/ Fri) or email Ruth Middleton directly on  ruth.middleton8@det.nsw.edu.au
