School Counsellor and School Psychologist Recognition Day
School Counsellor and School Psychologist Recognition Day
Today, the 8th of November, we celebrate School Counsellor and School Psychologist Recognition Day, which is a day to celebrate and thank the hard working counsellor team across schools in NSW. Here at Cooks Hill Campus, we are celebrating our wonderful counsellors Deb and Nadia, who are somewhat new additions to our wellbeing team. They work closely with students, giving them the care and support they deserve. Nadia is located upstairs in the wellbeing hub on Thursdays, and Deb is located upstairs in the wellbeing hub on Fridays.
Outside of school, and the wellbeing support it offers, you can access extra help at places like;
Headspace - provides information, support and services to people aged 12 - 25.
Kids Helpline - provides free, confidential and private 24/7 online and phone support.
Qlife - Provides anonymous LGBTQIA+ support and information.
For further information on where to find extra help or different sources, you can visit the wellbeing page on Canvas, and find the ‘need support?’ red button.
