Why do students get referred to the School Counselling Service?
Reasons for referral are varied and individual and may include:
- Academic assessment
- Behavioural/emotional assessment
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Grief
- Trauma
- Family issues
- Social issues
- Or just needing to talk to someone confidentially
Students can be referred to the school counselling service by:
- Asking reception for a referral form to complete and return via reception
- Ask for a referral from the Head Teacher Welfare or Year Advisor
- Parents/caregivers can refer directly. However, if appropriate, it is recommended that parents speak first to the Year Advisor or Head Teacher Welfare about their concerns.
Should you wish to discuss your concerns, please contact us by calling the school.
