Where to find help
Where to find help
- The Heads of Year can be found in the Pastoral Centres.
- The Pastoral Centre for Years 1 and 2 (Ms Maro Polydorou) can be found in Lloyds, upstairs near the staff room.
- Some of the Pastoral Centres have white letter boxes outside where you can leave a note if you would like to speak to a teacher. Maybe you are worried about your workm or you are being bullied, or you have concerns about a fellow student... You can also put a note under the door, or in your Head of Year's pigeon hole in the staff room.
- You can also speak to your form teacher about any concerns you have, or to a subject teacher, or the Senior Teacher in charge of Pastoral Care (Ms Antigoni Kiliari). The Senior Teacher in charge of Pastoral Care has an office upstairs between the office of Mr Panayiotou and the Board Room.
