Year Coordinators
The Year Coordinators are a key component of managing student well-being. Their role is to monitor attendance and behaviour at the school, as well recognising students who demonstrate positive behaviours. There are four Positive Behaviour Coordinators in the school, one working with Year 7 and 8 students, one with Year 9 and 10 students, one working with Year 11 students, and one working with Year 12 students.
Psychologist
The School Psychologist helps to meet the social, emotional, learning and behaviour needs of students, working closely with the school administration, teachers, students and parents. The School Psychologist works in a number of areas including consultation on behaviour managements, implementing health and well-being programs, as well as student engagement. Students can self-refer by seeking an appointment with the School Psychologist.
Student Support Officers
Our Student Support Officers work to ensure that our Student Services Department runs seamlessly. They are on the ground and available to provide additional support to students who need a little extra support.
School Therapy Dog and Trainer Duo
Mrs Allen and Mia, the Golden Retriever, are our Teacher and Dog Therapy duo. Worldwide research continues to acknowledge the positive impact animals have on our health and wellbeing. Mia’s presence encourages student engagement, assists with social skill development and aids with self-regulation and focus; All of these things support student learning.
Mrs. Allen and Mia have completed specialised training and are formally certified to work within a school environment. Mia has demonstrated a suitable temperament, high-level manners, and good impulse control.
We understand there may be concerns with interacting with a dog at school. These concerns may relate to a fear of dogs, health and safety, or cultural beliefs. Interaction with Mia is completely voluntary.
