To support our students at St Joseph’s we have a Student Wellbeing Team to support our student’s social, emotional and mental health needs.
Our Wellbeing Team consists of Mrs Erin McGovern, our Assistant Principal Mission, Mrs Jasmine Abigall, our Student Wellbeing Officer and Mrs Ruth Nolan, our School Counsellor.
School Counselling at St Joseph’s provides short term individual counselling to students for a range of mental health, social and emotional and family issues. Mrs Nolan will also be providing the CoolKids Anxiety program through individual and group sessions.
As the Student Wellbeing Officer, Mrs Abigall will support the academic needs and the personal needs of the students through the provision of pastoral care. Mrs Abigall will provide a range of programs and support for the holistic wellbeing of the students including guidance about ethics, values, positive key interpersonal relationships and spirituality.
