In the wake of the storm ‘microburst’ on Friday 3rd February that saw trees in our school (as well as in the wider community) be felled by the strong winds, many children that sought counselling support were concerned about the impact on our wildlife - especially the koalas that Port Macquarie is known for.

The Australian Psychological Society (APS) have recognised that environmental concerns play a role in the wellbeing of children as well as adults and have released a number of documents on coping with climate change that can be found here.
