Guidance Counsellors give support and encouragement to empower students to make their own decisions and deal with life's challenges. A counsellor is someone who listens with acceptance and respect, helping students to think through issues and to decide how to handle situations as well as emotions.
The Guidance Counsellors provide a relaxed and confidential space where students and/or parents can come to discuss any area of concern or difficulty. This could be a personal problem or a question about subject choices, post-school study or future pathways and careers.
Sometimes a Guidance Counsellor will refer students and/or parents to outside agencies for support.
Should students wish to make an appointment with the Guidance Counsellor, they will have two options:
Email Mrs Houston – mcauley_guidancecounsellor@bne.catholic.edu.au
Mrs Houston will reply with a relevant time and issue an appointment slip; or
Contact the College Office on 5542 3000
In 2017, there will be one Guidance Counsellor at the College.
Mrs Kym Houston will be available Monday, Tuesday and every alternate Friday.
