GUIDANCE Our team of four qualified Counsellors are all members of the New Zealand Association of Counsellor and abide by the Code of Ethics of this association which means that confidentiality is maintained unless there is an imminent risk to safety. The Counsellors work in the Deans’ Corridor adjacent to the Health Centre. Referrals are welcome from students, from parents and from staff. An appointment system is used to enable Counsellors to give our students uninterrupted sessions. Counsellors offer individual and small group counselling, mediation and advocacy. They share a commitment to working towards a socially healthy and emotionally safe school. Over 100 students from all year groups, academic levels and ethnicities attend counselling each week for a wide range of issues. If appropriate and with parental consent, students are able to be referred free of charge to either the Kari Centre or Marinoto for psychological support. This may be recommended when students face depression, anxiety, panic attacks or other mental health issues. Itinerant counsellors from Auckland Sexual Abuse Help also work from our premises from time to time, as well as counsellors from Altered High which is the youth section of Community Alcohol and Drug Services. Students sometimes request these services, and it is easier if they can be seen at school. ​ MAKING AN APPOINTMENT For students: You can drop into the counselling area at the start of the day (between 8.00 and 8.45) to make an appointment with a counsellor of your choice. An appointment box with slips is located just inside the door of the waiting room. The department is also open during the lunch hour. You are also welcome to email us directly. For parents: Please email or phone to make an appointment.
