Wellness Contacts:
The school Counsellors provide assistance and support for issues either at school or at home. Any student can access the guidance counsellor by leaving a note in the container outside their office door or directly making an appointment. Any staff member or parent can also refer students to a Counsellor. Any conversation which takes place with a Counsellor is confidential. Exceptions to this include cases where confidentiality may allow a significantly harmful situation to either arise or continue.
If you have a referral to make please use 06 833 5900, 021 109 4820, rsilver@nbhs.school.nz. The latter 2 contacts can be used any time but responses will be limited by counsellor availability (e.g. counselling someone else/sleep/…)

Recently released APPS

If you or your son use any of these, we’d love a review that we can then share that with others. Please send Rob/Mr Silver a text (021 109 4820) with the name of the app and a number between 0-10 (inclusive). 0= total waste of time for me, 10= couldn’t imagine anything better for me!
