Counselling

Students on both campuses also have access to Mr Rocky Jordan, who is the Head of Counselling and Learning Performance. Mr Jordan works closely with the School's staff to assist students with counselling needs. He also has a very specific brief to work with students who are academically capable, but who are under-achieving at School. This is a challenging area, but one worth tackling for this group of teenagers.

Rocky Jordan works with students in the areas of:

Careers Counselling
Academic Counselling and Learning Performance
Personal Counselling
