As a Guidance Officer I am available to students and families who wish to seek assistance and support relating to personal and educational issues. I offer counselling services as part of my role. Ideally, counselling is short term and is directly linked to the student’s ability to engage in learning. When counselling is judged likely to be long term or involve other members of a family, it is appropriate for me to consider referring the student on to another agency.
I can help with educational and personal matters/issues such as: bullying; grief and loss; family and peer relationships, self-esteem, stress, study habits and skills, time management, behaviour, anger, coping strategies. There are many issues you might wish to seek assistance with.
If you would like to make a time to speak with me, please contact school office.
I will be visiting Clermont State High School every Monday-Thursday.
