ATWC Social Worker

Ōtāhuhu Intermediate is supported by a Social Worker in Schools, provided through ATWC. Our social worker works alongside students, whānau and the school to support wellbeing, attendance, relationships, behaviour, family needs and access to community support.

This is a confidential service that helps students and families work through challenges that may be affecting learning, engagement or wellbeing at school. Referrals can be made by whānau, students, staff or outside agencies, with parent/caregiver consent.
