Sydney, Australia NSW Teaching Service Full time

**Position Information**:
School counsellors are an essential part of the department’s School Counselling Service.

They provide counselling and psychological assessment of students to complement and enhance the work of teachers to strengthen student learning and wellbeing outcomes, and they help families understand and manage their children’s learning and mental health needs. This is a truly collegiate role offering unique challenges and opportunities - both in your professional development and your ability to make an impact on the lives of children and young people.

School counsellors receive regular, individual professional supervision with the Senior Psychologist Education and participate in group and peer supervision as a member of the broader district school counselling team. You will most likely be collaborating with a number of school communities and colleagues, as well as outside agencies, with the opportunity to use and expand the full range of your skills and expertise as part of a supportive, multidisciplinary team.

School counsellors are provided with regular opportunities to participate in continuing professional development and the NSW Department of Education will support you to complete or maintain your registration with the Psychology Board of Australia. Other benefits include school holiday leave, travel allowances and health and wellbeing benefits such as our Fitness Passport program. The department will also cover your indemnity insurance as a psychologist.

Old Guildford Public School (OGPS) is located in South Western Sydney and proudly built on Darug Land, home to the Cabrogal Clan. The current student enrolment K-6 is 429 and we have two Preschool groups of 20 students over a five-day fortnight. Our embedded culture of high expectations and inclusivity ensure that students, staff and the community work together respectfully. As a multicultural school, 96% of our students come from non-English speaking backgrounds. We have students from 28 language backgrounds with the main being Arabic. In addition, we are proud of the small but significant number of Aboriginal students enrolled at our school.

Our learning environment reflects strong student wellbeing principles. To aid in the development of the whole child, compassionate and skilled staff offer a wide range of extracurricular activities. These include, but are not limited to, the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program, coding, chess, debating, recorder, choir, and a wide range of sports.

Through our situational analysis we have identified five areas that will assist our school to work towards achieving our system negotiated targets: Data to inform practice, explicit teaching in literacy and numeracy, effective feedback, collaboration and improving attendance. For more information, please visit the school website Old Guildford Public School
