Counsellors Corner - Welcome to 2023

Being a part of a community can have a positive impact on our mental health and emotional wellbeing – it can also offer extra meaning and purpose to everyday life.

It is such a joy to listen to the hive of activity and buzz of excitement filling the corridors of Merici College! I feel honoured to part of the Merici school community again this year and am very excited to see what 2023 will bring. One thing that I have learnt throughout 2022, is that Merici college is inclusive, supportive, and kind and I look forward to watching this thrive throughout the year.

I am excited to announce that this year we welcome a new member to our counselling team and the College community, Chelsea Kent.

“A big warm hello to all the students, families and teaching and support staff at Merici. I am Chelsea, and I will be joining forces with the lovely Hannah as the second School Counsellor for Merici College. I will be at Merici Monday’s, Thursday’s and Friday’s. Please pop by Hannah’s or I’s office to say hello! I speak on behalf of Hannah and I, when I say we are so excited to embrace the Merici community this year and look forward to strengthening relationships, focusing on student wellbeing and embracing all academic and positive learning outcomes.”

Being a part of a community can have a positive impact on our mental health and emotional wellbeing – it can also offer extra meaning and purpose to everyday life. As social beings, we are not meant to live in isolation. Community spirit, solidarity and togetherness are critical for us to thrive.
