Sixth Form Support, Policies and PSHEE

Sixth Form support

Who can a student talk to about worries or concerns? The happiness and wellbeing of our students is of paramount importance. Tutors and other members of staff are here to listen and help.

Additionally, certain staff have a special role in the school to support each student should she have a concern or difficulty:

Sister Purchase | School Nurse - r.purchase@rhsb.gdst.net

Sister Bossina | School Nurse - j.bossina@rhsb.gdst.net

Sister Hawkes | School Nurse - e.hawkes@rhsb.gdst.net

Mrs Cowell | The Student Welfare Coordinator - d.cowell@rhsb.gdst.net

Miss Charlotte Disley | School Counsellor - c.disley@rhsb.gdst.net

Mrs Liz Tremblay | School Counsellor - l.tremblay@rhsb.gdst.net

In addition, there are approximately 30 members of staff who act as Wellbeing Angels for students who are experiencing tough times. They can be identified by their bumble bee badges as well as on posters around the school.

PSHEE

Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education

A rich programme of PSHEE sessions takes place each fortnight when girls are introduced to essential skills such as interview techniques, personal safety and financial planning as well as being able to listen to a range of speakers.

These sessions are designed to help students become successful and confident individuals both in Higher Education and the work place.
