From the Pastoral Care & Wellbeing Coordinator
Good afternoon everyone,
This week we welcomed Mr Brian McDade, our new CatholicCare Counsellor who has replaced Ms Madelene Grauland. Brian comes to Mount Carmel with a broad range of Counselling skills and experience. We thank Madelene for her work over the past 18 months and wish her every success for her future endeavours. A reminder that we currently have Counsellors on site 9 days per fortnight, who are available to support students in a range of wellbeing needs. Students who might be interested in counselling support are to speak to their Pastoral Advisor or Year Coordinator for details of how to engage with the service.
Alternatively, should students or families be in need of wellbeing support outside of school hours or in case of emergency, please find below a list of contact details for agencies that might be of assistance.
Earlier today, a range of Year Assemblies were held to address a range of Wellbeing and Learning matters. These included:
Year 7
General Reminders relating to Learning and Wellbeing, Resilience and Respect
Years 8 & 9
2023 Elective Information and introduction to the selection process.
Year 10 - General reminders relating to Wellbeing, Learning and ROSA expectations.
Year 11 - Day 2 of Leadership Training (Day 1 was yesterday at Teen Ranch)
Year 12 - Finishing HSC Trial Examinations
Thanks to all Year Coordinators, Pastoral Advisors and Staff who assisted in the preparation and delivery of these activities today.
Finally, please do not hesitate to contact the College or the appropriate Classroom Teacher, Pastoral Advisor or Year Coordinator should you have any questions or require any assistance with matters relating to the wellbeing or learning of your son or daughter.
Mr Simon Huntly
