Well-Being

AT HEREFORD SIXTH FORM COLLEGE WE PLACE GREAT EMPHASIS ON SUPPORTING AND GUIDING YOU PERSONALLY AND ACADEMICALLY.

Your progress and well-being are important to us and we will do everything we can to try and ensure that you make your time here as enjoyable and productive as possible. There are always people ready to listen and provide practical help.

CHAPLAINCY

Through the Chaplaincy we aim to provide you with space and time for reflection and renewal, and opportunities for worship, fellowship, celebration and social action, as well as grappling with the key issues of the day. The Chaplain’s principal role is to be freely available to all students of any faith or of none, to offer help and advice, support and encouragement. This may be especially helpful at difficult or challenging times when you may have particular problems or concerns you would like to discuss, and these do not need to be limited to spiritual matters only. If you would like to see the Chaplain, you can drop in without an appointment or you can make an appointment by e-mail.

PRAYER ROOM

A classroom is available for prayer, meditation and reflection for students of all faiths.

COUNSELLING

Confidential counselling is available for all students. Talking things over with a Counsellor either as a one-off, or over a number of sessions, can help you to find new ways of dealing with problems, without being judged or told what to do. You might want to talk about College, family life, relationships, feelings of worry, stress or anxiety or about anything that is causing difficulty in your life, however big or small. If you would like to see a Counsellor you can drop in without an appointment during the lunch break, or you can make an appointment by e-mail, by telephone or by asking a tutor

Our Student Well-Being and Mental Health Adviser contributes to promoting good mental health and emotional well-being amongst all students. Drop-in sessions run four days a week without the need for an appointment.

PHYSICAL WELL-BEING MANAGER

THE SANCTUARY

The Sanctuary is a peaceful space in the Well-Being Centre where students can sit quietly when they need a few minutes of calm during the busy College day.
