School counselling staff are members of the school learning and support team.
A teacher may recommend the service by referring a student to the school’s learning and support team. As a parent or carer, you may refer your child directly to the school counselling service. Students can also self-refer to the service.
The school counselling service can:
- support students who are worrying about school work, friends, getting in trouble at school or feeling down
- help parents and carers make decisions about your child’s education
- assess a student’s learning and behaviour
- help teachers and students identify and address disabilities that may affect learning
- liaise with other agencies regarding student wellbeing.
School counselling is confidential.

School Counsellor at Walcha Central School
At Walcha Central School we have school counsellor Jen Fear who is available to see students on Wednesday and Thursday.
Appointments to see the counsellor can be made through your child's classroom teacher, year adviser or at the front office. Secondary students can also refer themselves directly.
Parents or students can also speak directly to a School Counsellor before or after school on the days that they are here.
