A new school counsellor
After two years of excellent work our school psychologist Getrude left us for further studies. Her work at the school strenghtened her interest in the work with children and she wants to deepen this interest in master studies. But before she departed, she supported her replacement with her start at the school. The psychological work is going to be continued by Hilder Humphrey, who studied counseling psychology.Sadly, we say good-bye to Getrude and happily, we welcome Hilder!
