Hello from Charisse!

Hello to everyone,

My name is Charisse Hay and I’ve started at Holy Cross in the role of College Psychologist.  I work closely with College Social Worker Joanne Betti, College Nurse Grace Bradshaw and Vice Principal Peter Collins to assist student wellbeing.  For those that I haven’t met yet in the school community, I’m looking forward to meeting you really soon!  In the meantime, here are some links to assist student wellbeing.

The Black Dog Institute has a new online positive psychology  program for youth and adolescents.  This might be timely given exam time.  Students can register at: www.biteback.org.au
