Wellbeing Support Services

Our young people are encouraged to talk to someone if they are having problems of any sort. The Year Adviser or the Head Teacher Welfare, Mr David Krix should be first points of contact. School counsellors, teachers, Deputy Principals and the Principal, are also available to listen and support.
