Leisa Cook, our Student Support Officer (SSO) works with students across our school setting to enhance the wellbeing and learning outcomes of students. Leisa's assistance includes supporting the implementation of the school’s whole-of-school approach to wellbeing by working in partnership with the school's wellbeing team and the school cousellors. Leisa provides support to students to develop social and emotional skills outside of the classroom. This may be through targeted strengths-based programs and strategies that build resilience, coping skills and positive relationships. SSO's provides targeted wellbeing support for students who are experiencing challenges at school or home, were Leisa provides individual support, check- ins or small group sessions to students to students needing extra support.
