The Counsellors are trained to help students who have personal concerns that may affect their progress at school. Students who wish to discuss matters with a Counsellor may make an appointment at their offices or ask their Year Adviser to make the appointment. If parents wish to speak with either Counsellor, they should phone the school first in order to arrange a suitable time.

Marja Boddeus is available Mon-Fri. Her office is located at the top of the staircase opposite room 46.

Jo Rynsaardt is available on Thursdays. Her office is located in the Wellbeing Hub opposite room 31.
