Services: Personal Counselling

Our Counselling Team is made up of a male and female counsellor, School Chaplain and a Youth Worker. They provide support for students with regard to academic, social and emotional needs. Students and parents can make appointments to talk confidentially.

The Counselling team also facilitate programs to promote and enhance student wellbeing. These include Peer Support

We are concerned that:

• Career planning is part of home group responsibilities.
• All faculties encourage both boys and girls.
• The Timetabling Committee works toward the widest possible range of subjects being offered.

We believe that:

• The home group plays a vital part in the relationship between teacher and student.
• This relationship must be effective to provide equal opportunity for students.
• Year level managerss are appointed to support Home Group staff.

Marryatville High School provides a positive and challenging learning environment.

Each person in this school community is responsible for his/her own behaviour and will make choices about how they behave.

This policy aims at helping students make responsible choices.
All behaviour has natural and logical consequences.
Responsible behaviour will lead to:

• a sense of belonging
• success
• an increase in freedom and rights

Irresponsible behaviour will lead to:

• denial of rights until behaviour changes
• consequences which are connected as much as possible to behaviour
• consequences which are non-violent.

Marryatville has a detention system which has a sequence of steps leading to Saturday school.
