Mental Health & Wellbeing
At Le Rocquier, positive mental health and wellbeing are very important. At times, all students need a little more support and care. When the pastoral care from the tutor and the head of year isn't enough, we have a dedicated team of mental health practitioners, counsellors & ELSA leads, specifically trained to help support the physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing of our students so that they can thrive.
The team is overseen by our Mental Health and Wellbeing Lead, Mr Lee Bennett. He works with students, staff and parents to ensure students receive the right support at the right time.
These student services contribute to the quality of students' learning experience and their academic success, encouraging and establishing the scaffolding for students to make rational decisions, establish and maintain meaningful, positive relationships and also resolve conflicts and prepare the student to be resilient in their life.
Internal interventions such as ELSA and Counselling are referred to via the student's Head of Year. These mental health and behavioural specialists can help with a range of student concerns such as:
- Loss & Bereavement
- Emotional Literacy
- Self Esteem
- Social Skills
- Friendship Issues
- Relationships
- Managing strong feelings
- Anxiety
- Bullying
- Conflict
- Emotional regulation
- Growth mindset
- Social stories
In year 7, our trained year 11 Peer Educators will start the strong and healthy links between the youngest and oldest students, delivering bespoke PSHE style lessons to help to promote positive, healthy mental well-being.
Further education is provided hrough our comprehensive PSHE curriculum. These dedicated, targeted and well-planned lessons for all students each week, provide the skills need for a successful life during their time at Le Rocquier and beyond.
As well as internal interventions, we have access to local support services and work closely with You Matter, Mind Jersey, the Youth Service & Skills Jersey.
