Anthony Martino has settled into his new role very well as our Social Worker and has been working closely with Kate and Nicole to establish the Wellbeing Team. If you are wanting to link in with some Wellbeing Support at DPS, please email the team at – ap.support@drysdaleps.vic.edu.au
This account is monitored by Kate and Nicole each day and we will always endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible.
Alternatively, you can call the school office and ask to speak to one of us. If we aren’t available, we will call you back as soon as possible.
Currently we are working on setting up the processes for 1:1 counselling as well as some small group intervention and therapy sessions. We want this role to be a proactive approach to support the wellbeing and mental health of students in our school. We will contact families if your child is someone we feel would benefit from the programs we set up.
Batforce are running an information session in a few weeks’ time at DPS for all parents or carers that would like to attend. The flyer is attached to the newsletter. Batforce have helped facilitate several therapy groups for 5-6 students this year, including a wood work group and a yoga group.
