Student Wellbeing

At Our Lady of Mercy College, we are committed to Embracing Life, Nurturing Faith, and Inspiring Learning—the core pillars that guide our community.

 

While the College takes a proactive approach to student wellbeing, we recognise that unexpected events and challenges can arise within our local and wider community. During these times, students may need additional support as they navigate their thoughts and emotions.

 

We encourage students to talk with their parents or someone they trust. Below are resources that may assist in these conversations. Staying connected and engaged with your child is one of the most effective ways to support their wellbeing.

 

Parents who have concerns about their child’s wellbeing are encouraged to contact their child’s Head of Year to discuss the support available through the College Counselling Team and the referral process.

 

If a matter is particularly sensitive, parents can contact the College Counselling Team directly via email at olmca.counselling@cewa.edu.au.

 

If your child is already seeing a mental health professional, we recommend sharing any new information with them to ensure the best possible support.
