Parents will be notified if your daughter is 14 years old or younger and has attended the clinic for treatment. Parents are welcome to book their child in for treatment using the online booking system.

All treatment is FREE to students and staff provided ACC has agreed to cover the injury. Private patients $25 per visit (non ACC funded treatment).  Students will attend a 20min initial appointment and then follow up appointments as deemed necessary. They will be encouraged to vary the classes they miss and to use break times to make appointments.

Also Strapping, Rehab & Acute Care clinic is open 8 - 8:30am every morning and at Break 2 every Wednesday & Friday for all acute injuries and those who haven't been able to book an appointment online. No appointment necessary!   

Guidance Counselling

The philosophy of the Guidance Counsellor is to listen to and support students so that they are able to learn and develop fully. All students may access this service through a self-referral process via email or directly at the Guidance Counsellor’s room. Looking out for the wellbeing of all students, Deans and whanau may also make student referrals to the Guidance Counsellor. When necessary, families may be supported to access specialised expertise of external agencies.  

Guidance Counselling is private and confidential. The exception to this is in instances of serious harm to self and/or others where a Code of Ethics requires that further support is accessed. Students are informed of this expectation.    

Online bookings are available for our Counsellors through the link below:
