Helping agencies:
We are fortunate to have access to an excellent Public Health nurse who we can call in to assist teachers and individual students.We have regular contact with a Resource Teacher of Literacy & Behaviour (RTLB). Students can be referred to the RTLB for extra support for their learning or their behaviour.
We have access to a chaplain who has had many years of experience dealing with a range of issues.
Students have access to our social worker on-site each week.
