As the school term comes to an end we want to take this opportunity to wish all of our school community a very happy Christmas and very best wishes for 2019.
Christmas can be a happy time with families and friends gathering together. It can also be a challenging time for some.
Please take care of those around you at this time. If you are aware of someone who may need someone to talk to or may need some professional support don’t forget that the following agencies remain open for most of the school holiday period:
Childline: 1800 666666 (24 hours a day/365 days a year) or free text 50101
Samaritans: 1800 116 123 (available 24 hours a day/365 days a year)

Any immediate concerns regarding an individual’s health should be referred to an Accident & Emergency Department.
Some good advice for parents talking to children include:
Have a great holiday, enjoy everything that Christmas brings but remember look after yourself and each other. See you in 2019 for a new school term!
