We support Grade 1 to Grade 7 learners individually or in groups according to their needs.
Parents are welcome to contact the Head of Learning Support, Mrs Audrey Berkovitz, for more information email audber@phps.org.za for an appointment.

Counselling is offered to individual learners to resolve personal or interpersonal issues, as well as small group counselling to help learners enhance social skills and resolve conflicts. Counselling is offered to parents/guardians of the learners in certain cases.
