Sam, our SSO, works with other school staff to support the wellbeing of students. She is someone students can talk to outside the classroom. The SSO role works within the school community to support students to feel safe and motivated to achieve their personal best. The SSO works collaboratively with the wellbeing team and school counsellors to support the implementation of departmental and school-based wellbeing programs. The support offered can appear very diverse from individual check-ins, group programs and whole school events. Sam will be working with staff and students across the school, as well as engaging with parents and external youth and family services and supports. Sam’s role will promote safety, build resilience and enhance the learning outcomes of students. The SSO role will help students to achieve their goals, act on their strengths, overcome challenges and thrive off different opportunities.
