Bereavement and loss are both very difficult aspects of life and are one of life’s biggest challenges. Often, the pain of loss can feel overwhelming.  Bereavement may be described as grieving as a result of the death of a loved one.  Loss may be associated with dealing with a divorce, relationship breakup, health issue or another significant change in your life.

We have a number of different supports available for pupils and parents such as support from:

• Pastoral support and Depute Head teacher
• Counselling
• Rainbows
• Our School Chaplains – Fr Stephen and Fr Eoin as well as Msgr Monaghan

Speak to your child’s pastoral support teacher if you require any support and we will do our best to help you through this difficult time.

East Renfrewshire council have also developed some resources to support children, young people and their families who have experienced loss, grief and bereavement.
