Pastoral Counselling

Competitiveness, bullying, social exclusion, family crisis, scholastic under-achievement, abuse, peer pressure, substance mis-use and racism are some of the problems which can be assisted with the support of counselling. All students can access the services of a Counselling Officer for issues pertaining to academic performance; anxiety and any other issues which may hinder them from making a smooth transition from school to a work environment.

The Counselling Officer shall implement safeguards to assure that personal information about individual students is shared among staff only to the extent necessary to ensure the safety and effective provision of services to students, and no further. Personal counselling records shall be treated as confidential documents.
