We believe we have one of the 'funniest' roles in the school. We get to watch your children from their very first day all the way through to graduation. We see them crying, we see them playing, we see them learning, we see them thinking and we see them grow into incredible members of society. What an honor it is to walk alongside you and your child/ren during their Parklands journey.
Social Work and Wellbeing Support
Social Work and wellbeing support is available to students and parents 5 days per week onsite or online. Social work support is available during term and holiday seasons, in addition access to social work outside hours is available via phone and email. Referrals are welcomed from students, parents, teachers, or any significant person in the student’s life.
Social work support will work closely with parents to provide written documentation or referral letters to medical professionals to assist with quality care.
Families also have access to referrals (Via Wellbeing or Learning Enrichment) for additional Allied Health Services such as:
- Occupational Therapy
- Speech Pathology
- External psychologists and counsellors
- External social work, youth programs and community support services
Please note: At times students disclose information about themselves and their families that constitute child protection concerns and staff have the responsibility to hand information about this disclosure to Heads of Primary or Secondary, or the Principal, who will take action as prescribed by Child Protection law.
Our school aims to provide care and support to our families who are having a tough time. We have a small team of staff dedicated to arranging care for families in their time of need. Please let the Student Care & Wellbeing Team know if your family could do with extra assistance or support. Issues may include loss of a family member, illness, family separation, financial issues. Care will include referrals, prayer support, meals, providing a chill-out space for students, liaising with teachers re: assessment and other assistance as required.
