School counselling staff are members of the school learning and support team.
At Bowral Public School we are lucky to have the services of a school counsellor.
In 2022 our counsellor works at school at school 3 days per week.
Should you wish your child to receive counselling, please contact our school Learning and Support Team which is ably led by Mr Scott Cayzer and Miss Nicola Kaye or ring the school office who can let you know our counsellor's availability.
A teacher may recommend the service by referring a student to the school’s learning and support team. As a parent or carer, you may refer your child directly to the school counselling service. Students can also self-refer to the service.
The school counselling service can:
- support students who are worrying about school work, friends, getting in trouble at school or feeling down
- help parents and carers make decisions about your child’s education
- assess a student’s learning and behaviour
- help teachers and students identify and address disabilities that may affect learning
- liaise with other agencies regarding student wellbeing.
School counselling is confidential.
For more information about learning and support teams and the school counselling service, please contact your school.
