Wellbeing
Scots All Saints College prides itself on supporting students to reach their full potential through outstanding pastoral care and a strong sense of community. Every student is recognised as an individual and is provided with the opportunity to build their confidence and resilience, to enjoy school, to be challenged and to grow as individuals as they journey through the College.
What we do
Our College Psychologists provide evidence-based counselling and psychological assessment to students that enhances the work of teachers by strengthening student learning and wellbeing outcomes.
Referring to our Team
If you have a wellbeing concern about your child, we encourage you to first talk to their Core Teacher or Team Leader, who will work with you to best support your child.
How to refer
Referrals for students from Preparatory to Year 12 referrals can be made by teachers, parents or boarding staff. Once the referral is made, it is then reviewed by either Mr Jackman (for Junior School students), Mr Adams (for Senior School students) or Mr Le Couteur (Boarding School). All suitable referrals are then passed onto the Psychology Team who decide on the best action.
Note: If a student is in Year 10, 11 or 12, they can self-refer directly to the Psychology Team.
