Student Wellbeing

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.

Parent, teacher and student referral (Year 10, 11 and 12 only)

Student self-referring (Year 10, 11 and 12 only)

Referring to an external psychologist

To refer to a psychologist outside of the College, we encourage you talk to your GP about a Mental Health Care Plan and take a look at the Australian Psychological Society directory for a local Psychologist or for one who offers Telehealth Services.
