STRESS

point. College psychologist, Lorna
Joy and Mary East, from Massage Break,
will both facilitate this session.
They will discuss how to use complementary
therapies as an alternative strategy
for stress management. Newly appointed
Deputy Principal, Mr Joe Sciorilli
will also be in attendance. Please
