ABOUT OUR EXPERTS
|
As a qualified counsellor, Amy Welbourne has been working with young people and children for the past 8 years and most recently through her role as Student Support Officer at Dubbo South Public School. After working with adolescents for many years she became passionate about teaching emotional literacy and regulation to children from an early age to equip them with the skills to navigate adolescence.
As Student Support Officer at my school, Amy is responsible for overseeing the wellbeing programs and initiatives that support their Strategic Improvement Plan. As a school they needed a tool that would help they to measure the success of the programs they were already using and also to be able to support teachers to understand the presentation of their students each day and how this impacted on their readiness to learn, and their challenges to thrive and grow in their learning. They are still very much at the early stages of implementation, but Life Skills GO is proving to be a valuable resource in being able to support the narrative when meeting with parents, carers, support staff and external agencies to map trends in student behaviour and understand what external factors may be contributing to this, so they are supporting the whole child. Best of all, it is a self-reporting tool, so they are capturing student voice on a daily basis and being able to make space for connections when they are needed most, quality over quantity.
