Purpose of the SHS Wellness Center

When class is not in session (before school starts, tutorial, lunches, post school), the Wellness Center is a relaxing and calming space with free snacks, hot chocolate or tea-play board games, draw, listen to music and be with their friends.
When class is in session, and a student needs mental health break, they are able to come to the Wellness Center for 20 minutes after obtaining a pass from their teachers. They are sent back to class after 20 minutes.
Students are also able to obtain therapy services at the Wellness Center. Each student has up to 12 therapy sessions free per the district. The referral can be made by students themselves, their peers and can also be made by parents and teachers.
