Student Support Team

Our Student Support Team

Our Student Support Team is an integral part of the student support system in our school. Our school’s student support system encompasses a range of supports that cater for the learning, social, emotional and behavioural needs of our students.

Our Student Support focuses on student wellbeing and is composed of our Senior Management Team, our Guidance Counsellor, Home School Community Liaison, AEN Co-ordinator and our Special Classes Link Teacher.

The SST liaises with Year Heads on a weekly basis to support students within school. It also identifies and forges relationships with external support services and develops pathways for onward referrals.

Essentially, our Student Support Team is a student-focused mechanism put in place by a school in order to:

• co-ordinate the support available for students in the school
• facilitate links to the community and other non-school support services
• enable students with support needs to continue to access a full education
• assist staff to manage those students effectively
• ensure new staff members are briefed about policies and procedures relating to student wellbeing and support
• advise school management on the development and review of effective student support policies and structures.
