Pupil Support Structure
We have a horizontal pupil support structure at Chryston. That means each PT Pupil Support (PTPS) is for a year group and they will link in to a member of senior management. If a PTPS is in charge of S1 this year, they will be in charge of S2 the following year and so forth. This ensures continuity for the pupil and their family. Senior management links are fixed each year.
| PTPS 2022/23 | Year Responsibility | SMT Link |

Interventions available at Chryston High School:
Teentalk Counselling:
Emotional intelligence is fundamental to understanding the link between our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. We work with each young person as an individual who are part of a family and a community to enable them to make the links necessary to improve their emotional health and mental well-being.
We offer therapeutic support at a vital stage of development. This can have a positive impact on all aspects of a young person’s life at home and in the classroom. Our work helps teachers to focus on teaching. Our work helps build relationships with friends and family.
We recognise that adolescence is an intense period of transition and understand that some young people have a lot to navigate through until they become independent adults.
Young Souls:
Young Souls UK hold wellbeing group and one to one sessions with our pupils. During sessions, the pupils take part in open discussions and mindful activities which help build resilience, strengthen belief in themselves, grow their confidence and learn to self-regulate. More importantly, Toni aims to create a safe space where the pupils feel comfortable discussing their thoughts and emotions, letting them see that they are not alone in the way they feel.
Animalia Apparel:
Tony is a youth worker who works with young people on both one to one sessions and group sessions. He takes time to get to know the pupils and creates a safe space to talk, share their emotions and make strategies to move forward. Tony uses games and sports to show pupils they can create your own ultimate team card. When possible Tony will work with young people outside or in the games hall to take them away from working in a classroom environment.
If you feel your child would benefit from any of the above interventions please contact their pupil support teacher.
