We hope you valued the chance to learn more about our classroom programmes and connect with our teaching teams.

Kelly has been based at our school for the past two years in a student capacity during her training.

Kelly has completed her Bachelor of Applied Counselling degree in 2024 and has joined our team three days a week to continue supporting with the social and emotional wellbeing of our students.

We feel very fortunate to be able to offer this support to our tamariki and whānau, as typically counselling is not available in primary schools (secondary schools have counsellors funded by the Government).

We are grateful to our Board who are funding this role as we believe this is an essential part of our inclusive learning support and to help with the social and emotional needs of our students.

Kelly is available for individual counselling with students. Please follow this link www.teaomarama.school.nz/counsellor for further information about this support.
