College counsellors Our College counsellors offer a professional, confidential counselling service for boys and their families. They have considerable experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in need, and understand the psychological and social stressors and mental health issues many young people face today. Support people If you have a problem, talk to the following people: • Your Housemaster • Your House matron • Your House tutor • Your Head of House • The International Student Manager • Your local caregiver • The Wellbeing team – school counsellors or nurses • The College Chaplain. If you require support in your first language, speak to any of the above support people and it will be arranged for you.
Health Centre
• The Health Centre is staffed by a registered nurse, Monday through to Friday. • All boys are able to make use of this facility for first aid. • If your son becomes ill during the day, the Health Centre and/or the matron will update the International Student Manager on their condition, and the plan for their care. • If your son remains in isolation within the House, this will be set up for the night, prior to the matron going off duty. The matron will brief the House staff who will check on your son and the overnight nurse who will also check in on the student. • All boys are able to contact the overnight nurse directly throughout the night via the call button. In the morning, if the overnight nurse has been up with an ill student, she will let the matron know and she will notify the parents and the Health Centre staff. • If your son is unable to remain at College in the boarding House due to sickness, his caregiver will be contacted to pick him up from school.
