counsellors
Counselling provides a 'safe space' where issues of concern can be discussed. Our College Counsellors, Ms Nat Ellis and Mrs Taryn Hicks, are located in the Presentation Centre, on the Ground Floor in the Convent building.
Our Counsellors can assist students, parents/guardians and staff with any aspect of a student's educational, emotional and social development.
Roles and Responsibilities of the College Counsellors

Confidentiality

Referral Process
|
Young people have a right to privacy and a safe environment to talk about their worries. Students are offered confidentiality unless otherwise discussed and as such parents or carers are not routinely contacted. However, if a student is considered at risk to themselves or others, parents or carers will be contacted. Generally most students are comfortable for their parents or carers to be involved.
|
Students can self-refer to the College Counsellors. Students can do so in-person or via the Counselling Online Form.
Parents, carers or staff members can also refer students to the College Counsellors, with the student's consent. |
