From the School Counsellor

What a great time of the year! Welcome to families old and new. As your School Counsellor, I work to ensure the wellbeing of all students in the school. I offer individual counselling, group counselling, psychometric testing, class guidance lessons, and co-ordinate whole school wellbeing initiatives.

Term 1 is always a busy an exciting time and this year we are very much looking forward to continuing our journey with Positive Education. Each week staff and students across St Saviour’s will be engaging in the Positive Education Enhanced Curriculum (PEEC). PEEC is research-based explicit Positive Education curriculum that was designed in consultation with world-renowned researchers in the field of positive psychology. We look forward to using concepts and skills learned through PEEC to continuing fostering and developing our wonderful SSPS community and supporting the wellbeing of staff and students alike.  I also look forward to keeping you up to date regarding our progress with PEEC and ways in which you, as families, can get involved too!

If you have any concerns regarding your child’s wellbeing or adjustment to the new school year, please speak with your child’s class teacher. Alternatively, if you have a general enquiry about the School Counselling service or wellbeing initiatives, please don’t hesitate to contact me at anne.woodcroft-brown@twb.catholic.edu.au

Wishing you all a fantastic start to the 2021 school year.
Anne Woodcroft-Brown
