At Wairau Intermediate, we know that every student experiences challenges

from time to time. We are here to ensure every child feels safe, supported

and connected throughout their time at school.

We offer a range of wellbeing supports to meet the different needs of our

students, including:

– Ease Up Drop-In Clinic every Friday morning, where students can

access support in a relaxed, informal setting.

– A qualified school counsellor, available one day each week for

students who would benefit from ongoing wellbeing support.

– Support from our SENCO (Learning Support Coordinator) and pastoral

team, who work alongside students, whānau and staff to coordinate

appropriate support and connect with outside agencies.

Students are encouraged to reach out whenever they need help. They can

complete our Wellbeing Support Request Form by scanning by following the

link available below Students can self-refer for support at any time.

Parents and whānau are also welcome to contact the school if they have

concerns about their child, and teachers may liaise with our SENCO or

pastoral team if they notice a student who may benefit from additional

support.

Seeking support is a sign of strength, and we are committed to ensuring

every student knows they have caring adults at school who are ready to

listen and help.
