Guidance Officer
Guidance Officers are specialist teachers who deliver a broad range of services to school community members. They contribute to the development of a comprehensive student support and wellbeing program that is responsive to the needs of the school community.
Our school Guidance Officer works directly with students in addition to working with a student's teachers, school support personnel, family, other specialists or external support providers.
Guidance officers provide leadership, support and case management in responding to some of the most complex and challenging of circumstances including student protection matters, critical incidents, mental health issues, and suicide prevention and postvention support.
What support is offered by Guidance Officers?
In line with the Department of Education vision of Equity and Excellence, the Guidance Officer offers support and advice, with focus on wellbeing and engagement, culture and inclusion and educational achievement.
At MacGregor State School, our Guidance Officer provides advice on educational, behavioural, personal, social, family, and mental health and wellbeing issues.
