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.
For more information about learning and support teams and the school counselling service, please contact your school.

Our Services
The services of the counsellor are available for such problems as conflict at school or at home, difficulties with school work, feeling "down" or anxious.
We can also teach useful skills like problem solving, anger management and relaxation strategies.
We are friendly, approachable and willing to discuss any problem, large or small.
To make an appointment simply fill in one of the referral slips in the pocket on the counsellor's door or ring the school and ask to speak to the school counsellor.
