Student Support & Counseling Services

Student Services

Christchurch Boys’ High School’s Student Services team supports student wellbeing and daily needs. They handle absences, first aid, lost property, and attendance queries. The Weekly Note keeps students informed, while the Mobile Phone Policy helps maintain focus on learning.

Counselling services and the Health Hub, including a free and confidential Public Health Nursing Service, ensure students' mental and physical wellbeing. From guidance to health services, Student Services is here to assist.
