Guidance

The counsellors provide a confidential service and work with the Pastoral Care team to support positive outcomes for students, development of resilience, strengthening self management and relationship skills. We are a restorative school and foster students development of understanding, acceptance of difference and use of conflict resolution skills. ‘Kindness can be shown in several ways:

• Being patient with each other
• Showing friendship, empathy, gratitude
• Being forgiving

Our Guidance counsellors are able to refer to agencies beyond school as needed to support students. This includes:

• PHO counsellors
• Te Tomika Trust
• Ngai Te Rangi
• MICAMHS
• SORTED
