School counselling services are available to all students. If your child is having some struggles due to social/emotional issues (such as anxiety, loss/grief, divorce or other family issues, friendship problems, or other challenges), please feel free to request a school counselling referral form. You may wish to discuss your concerns with your child’s teacher, the principal or VP, or the school counsellor (see contact info below).
The school counsellor, Mrs. Angela Hagen, will be at Fort Rupert School on Wednesdays this year. She provides school counselling for all the elementary schools in our school district.
If you would like to contact her, you can email ahagen@sd85.bc.ca , or text her at 250-230-7711, to set up a time to talk. Let her know if she can help you with any school counselling concerns, support resources, or assistance accessing other counselling services such as Child & Youth Mental Health (CYMH) or North Island Crisis & Counselling Centre (NICCC).
