Student Assistance Program

The Student Assistance Program (SAP) covers a range of issues which may affect children in our modern day society. The Student Assistance Program supports children in dealing with such issues by providing them with a secure and confidential environment to express any worries or concerns they may have.

The Student Assistance Program is group work based where children meet once a week over a period of 8 weeks. The group is designed to help children build self-worth and confidence, look at their own behaviour and how it affects themselves and others, build communication skills and help promote and encourage healthy lifestyles.

During your child's time at Borras, we would like to give them the opportunity to take part in SAP sessions when deemed appropriate with your full knowledge.

Earlier this week (26.01.10) we sent out a letter regarding SAP, requesting consent for your child to take part in these sessions during their time at Borras. This simply tells us that should the time come when we at Borras feel your child would benefit from such sessions, we have your full consent and support. We would like to add that if, and when that time comes, you will be contacted to say your child has been selected and the reasons why.

Should you require any further information regarding the Student Assistance Program, please do not hesitate to contact the school and we will be happy to discuss this initative further.
