Trauma debriefing, and working with the learning support team to find adequate solutions for the struggling learner, also forms part of my role.

Andrea is looking forward to maintaining and growing the wonderful culture around counselling that Erica has already developed, while she is in this role. Andrea will be at the Bay Primary Senior Campus in Kalk Bay on Monday and Tuesday mornings and will be at the Junior Campus in Fish Hoek on Wednesday and Friday mornings.

We wish her every success in this all important role!
