Student Services and Support Programs

Support for students and families

This part of our website has links to the people at the school who are available to support students and parents. Our team approach ensures the most appropriate person caters for the needs of our students.

The Year Level Dean is usually the first point of contact for students and parents.

 


Student Engagement Team

The Student Engagement Team are located in both the Student Engagement Hub (Jnr Deans, Jnr G.O and YSC's in C Block) and The Senior Hub (behind the Library).

How to Access Support

For one-on-one support, the Year Level Dean will complete a referral to present at the weekly Student Engagement Team meeting.

At the meeting, we discuss the referral; pass it on to the appropriate team member, who will organise a consultation.

Students can also make their own appointments with support staff at the Student Support Centre before school or during breaks.

Parents can also contact support staff directly, via e-mail or phone.

How Confidential Are My Visits?

What we speak about remains confidential however, our duty of care for you and the safety of others is our main concern. Sometimes we may need to take action to ensure this and involve others in this process.
