The process for visiting the Wellbeing Centre:
Appointments are usually pre-booked on an online system (such as you'd find with other community organisations).
Most people book their own appointments by sending an email and/or completing our online referral form. Students can however just ‘drop in’ to the Wellbeing Centre if they wish or make contact through the College Office or Year Level Dean.
Appointments are made and recorded on google calendars and an email confirmation is sent to the student.
Wellbeing staff mark students attendance on the roll when they are out of class for an appointment. Session times align with the College timetable and will usually last for the duration of the period so students don't have to come or go from class making for a more confidential experience.
Location:
Downstairs in McAuley Block.

Outside Agencies:
If you'd prefer to see someone outside of school that is totally fine and we can help you to make a referral!
If you see a support worker from an outside agency (a counsellor, social worker, lawyer etc) and you'd like to meet with them at the College you are welcome to use the Wellbeing Centre.
For this to happen please ask your support worker to make contact with one of the Wellbeing Team or staff in the office so that a space can be booked.
YEAR LEVEL DEANS
