At Heatley State Primary School, we believe it takes a village to raise a child. Students who are troubled or having difficulties need support. This may be formal support organised by parents or staff, or it may be informal support offered by friends or family.
If your child is in need of support, please approach the classroom teacher first to discuss options available at our school.
Our Student Wellbeing team consists of our Leadership team members as well as:
Community Education Counsellor - Demi Warria
Guidance Officer - Katrina Stonestreet (M, W, Th)
School Chaplain - Adam Ginn 'Chappy Ado' (W, Th, F)
Social Worker - Pippa Coe (M-Tu by referral only)
School Support Officer - Jaymi Quincey
Our Student Wellbeing team are based in our Wellbeing Hub
Please call 47595333 and ask to speak with the person who you think may be able to help you.
