Primary Purpose of SSO Role
Student Support Officers work within the school and college community to enhance student wellbeing and learning outcomes in partnership with the wellbeing team. Student Support Officers provide individual and targeted wellbeing support and whole of college wellbeing initiatives and programs that are evidence-based.

Key accountabilities for SSOs
• Improve the wellbeing, resilience and pro-social behaviours of students by working in partnership with the wellbeing team to prioritise and deliver individual, small group and whole-school evidence-based programs and strategies.
• Enhance student learning and wellbeing outcomes by identifying and establishing support networks for students with staff, the school community, and locally-based government services and community agencies.
