STUDENT WELLBEING

While lockdown and remote learning are coming to an end, the mental health experts are telling us that the ‘hidden pandemic’ of ongoing mental health issues will continue for some time and may not peak for another 12 months. As a school and as parents we need to continue to monitor our young people and provide them with a safe, caring environment and ongoing support. 

Below are three high quality organisations that support the mental health and wellbeing of young people. On each website you will find resources, helpful tips and videos, and counseling support if needed.

And as always, we want to remind you, that your child’s mental health  is our priority and we want to continue to provide quality welfare support to our students, even during remote learning. If you have any concerns at all about your child then please contact your child’s coordinator or myself and chaplain Gill Van Der Ende. We are available to parents via phone or text. Your child can also contact us directly by knocking on the door of our office or drop-in. We are here to support you.
