ACCESSING SUPPORT
Accessing the Chaplain can be initiated be a teacher, student, or parent.

Should a teacher identify that a child could benefit from additional support or encouragement, they would ask the child if they would like to speak to the Chaplain and them arrange a convenient time.

A student may request a one-on-one chat with the Chaplain. If this needs to happen during class time the teacher will be consulted. Parents can also contact the Chaplain directly via email: anna.steyn2@education.vic.gov.au

 

ART THERAPY

Art therapy is a tool Anna-Marie uses to help students interpret, express, and resolve their emotions and thoughts. Students work with Anna-Marie to explore their emotions, understand conflicts or feelings that are causing them distress, and use art to help them find resolutions to those issues.
