If your student has experienced loss or grief, including because of separation and divorce, the death of a family member or friend, or any other significant loss, we have a programme running this term that may provide support.

Our school counsellor, Vernice Young (a registered educational psychologist) is facilitating a Seasons of Growth programme during Term 1 at the College.

Seasons for Growth is a small group programme that combines psychology and education with peer support and is designed to support young people who have experienced loss and grief including separation and divorce, death of a family member or friend, or any other significant loss. The programme involves 8 one-hour sessions, held once a week during the school day.

If you are interested in learning more or would like your student to participate, please email Vernice (vernice.young@stmw.school.nz) as soon as possible. She will then contact you to chat about the programme and if it is appropriate for your student.
