From the School Counsellor

Welcome back! It has been so nice to see so many familiar faces and meet many new ones this week. I hope that everyone had an exciting summer and are feeling refreshed to start a new school year. 

It is my hope that this year is full of successful experiences for all students. To start us off, my focus for the first few weeks of Term will be for the students to ‘get to know the school counsellor’. It’s important for them to know who I am, what I do, and the types of things they can talk to a counsellor about. 

Additionally, this term we’ll be working on the 9th annual ‘Bullying. No Way!’ day, which gives schools the chance to take action and empower young people to be part of the solution when addressing bullying in their school community. It provides an opportunity to focus on bullying and the big changes we can make to create safer communities for everyone. The National Day of Action against Bullying and Violence (NDA) is on Friday 15 March 2019. 

If you’d like to get in touch to chat about my term plans, to discuss referral process or just have a yarn, please don’t hesitate to contact me via email: anne.woodcroft-brown@twb.catholic.edu.au 

See you around the school!
