  3. Wellbeing and Student Support

There are many agencies in our wider community that support our students and their families. Schools that have effective wellbeing practices offer layers of support.

Our pastoral system has a whole school approach that supports student wellbeing and we encourage students and whanau to ask for help. We collaborate with outside agencies and try to provide up to date information so that people can make informed choices. If you know of any agencies working in our community that may be able to assist our families please do not hesitate to contact me, some of them are listed below. 

Wishing you a great holiday break.
