Our school is fortunate to have a Youth Worker visit one day per week. It is a service that seeks to offer support to our students in a variety of ways. The goal of the Youth Worker Service is to help students feel safe, connected and happy during their primary school experience. The service is not just here for students but also for families if they feel that they have a need that we may be able to help with. The Youth Worker has access to, and can connect families with, a wide range of support agencies. The Youth Worker engages students in either individual or small group counselling sessions and conducts regular observations of students both in and out of the classroom. The service is highly regarded by students, staff and families.
Families may seek support from the Youth Worker service via consultation with their child's teacher and completion of a referral form.
