parent community understand a range of wellbeing issues relevant to them. Click onto the issue that interests you and follow the links to what we think reflects current best practice in this area. We hope to make this website more interactive in the future, inviting parents to participate in online discussions, blogs and webinars, so keep coming back to see what's new and what's happening in the Wellbeing area.
If you have any concerns regarding your child then please feel free to contact the College and one of the Student Wellbeing Team members will speak to you. We are only too happy to talk to you, working together to produce the best possible outcome for your child.
