STUDENT WELLBEING

So as our first full “Covid Normal” year comes to an end, it is nice to breathe a sigh of relief that we had a full school year without lockdowns and excessive restrictions. Despite the feeling of normality, the mental health experts are telling us that the ‘hidden pandemic’ of ongoing mental health issues is continuing and things have not returned to normal for some young people. 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, videos, and counseling support if needed.  

And as always, we want to remind you that your child’s wellbeing is our priority. If you have any concerns at all about your child then please contact your child’s coordinator or myself so we can discuss appropriate wellbeing support. We are available to parents via phone or text. Your child can also contact us directly by knocking on the door of our office. We are here to support you.
