Student Wellbeing Team
At Florey Primary School, student needs (academic/wellbeing) are monitored and maintained through a range of avenues. Students with more significant needs are referred to the wellbeing team. The wellbeing team consisting of the Principal, Deputy Principal, School Psychologist and Community Coordinator. During these meetings, the classroom teacher, Team Leader and relevant support staff working with the student, share with the wellbeing team the reason for referral, current strategies in place to support the student and current stakeholder involvement, including any external agencies. Together, the group develops a list of next step actions to support the child’s development and contact the parents and carers as necessary.
School Psychologist
School psychologists can provide direct support or interventions to students, consult with teachers and families, or work alongside other members of the student services team to assist students to thrive in their school environment. They may also work with the school executive team on school-wide practices and procedures, as well as collaborate with community providers to co-ordinate services for students. A school psychologist currently operates at Florey Primary on a part time basis.
Community Coordinator
Strengthening links with community supports is the integral part of the Community Coordinator role. The Community Coordinator can also help families who require additional support. Support may involve financial hardship, NDIS liaison/referral, parenting challenges, child and family wellbeing.
Parents and carers wishing to access supports from the wellbeing team can contact the front office to put in a referral.
