The Guidance Counselling team plans for school closure and online support for students and their families. In this time of disruption to our normal school services and routines, the Guidance department has made a list of ways to get support.
From Wednesday 15 April on when Term 2 begins counselling staff will be available to work with students.
Please TEXT in the first instance to make a time for a conversation.
