STUDENT WELLBEING & SUPPORT

Students have access to a counsellor and nurse, free of charge, during school hours. 

All students have wrap-around support from a team including their whanau ako class, teachers, Kaiaarahi (Tutor Teachers), Kaitiaki (Deans), Deputy Principals, Counsellor, Registered Nurse, Careers Advisor, Gateway Administrator and a SENCO (Special Needs Co-ordinator).

Benefits include: 

Junior students entering high school are helped to adjust to life at school with this programme

Senior students are trained as peer support leaders to work with and support junior students as they start high school
