Bereavement
We understand that children and families are faced with many difficulties in everyday life and it may be that support is needed for a short time, or on a long term basis.
If you feel you would like to chat with Shirley or Steph confidentially and without judgement about concerns or difficulties you have with your child, another young person, yourself or another member of your family; please visit the school office and ask to visit the family room, or contact them via the following:
