Counselling for International Learners

This policy outlines how Paparoa Street School meets the requirements of Code Outcome 18, clause 72.c.iii.

Paparoa Street School supports international learners to access counselling, if needed.

If an international learner requires counselling, we may:

explain how counselling works if it is not common in the learner's home country, and assure them there is no shame/negative consequences in seeking available services
check if the learner's insurance provider will cover counselling services
emphasise counselling is confidential, unless the learner poses a risk to themselves or others.

We keep a record in the international learner file of any information or referrals provided.

Counsellors may provide support by:

monitoring the international learner's wellbeing
acting as an intermediary between the school, learner (and parent), and residential caregiver
passing on any concerns regarding the learner's emotional or physical safety to the appropriate services
supporting learners in the event of a crisis or emergency.
