Support over the Holiday Period

As the 2024 school year draws to a close, we would like to take a moment to thank all parents and students for their valuable time and contribution to Assumption College this year.

We also wish all families peace, love and joy over the festive season and extend special mention to those who have experienced loss or some other form of hardship this year. We know that Christmas may be particularly difficult this year and our thoughts are with you.

We would also like to remind our community that when it comes to mental health, early intervention is key and for anyone needing personal or family support over the holiday period that your GP is a good place to start the conversation. There are also numerous support services available online and the link below can be a starting point for this:Head to Health

When you visit Head to Health you can search and access a range of telephone based and online support services, which are either free of charge or low cost. These services range from information, telephone and web counselling services, through to web-based treatment programs and peer support forums.
