The main role of the school psychologist is to support the development of all the pupils. In order for the pupils to succeed academically, socially, behaviourally, and emotionally, the school psychologist works closely with parents, pupils, as well as with the teachers.
If you are a parent, you can turn to the school psychologist when:
- something in your child’s behaviour or learning has changed and you start to feel worried;
- you are concerned about the emotional wellbeing of your child; your child is often sad, angry or withdrawn;
- you have noticed that your child is not managing socially and has difficulty making friends;
- you have cooperated with teachers but still the problems persist and you want to find a solution;
- you have difficulties managing your child at home or you feel you want to have a better relationship with your child.
If you are a pupil, you can turn to the school psychologist when:
- you are often sad, angry or somehow you do not feel well and want to share this with someone;
- you feel that you do not manage with your everyday studies and duties anymore;
- you are worried about yourself or someone else;
- you are often having conflicts with others or you have a difficult time finding friends;
- you are confused about something and just want to talk to someone and hear a second opinion.
The psychologist is at school on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
