**About the School**:
Established in 2016, the Griffin State School community worked in close partnership with purpose and passion to create a school that achieves the very best possible for each child by embedding practices that are truly 'Anchored in Excellence'.

**About the Role**:
As the Engagement Officer, you will have responsibility for the following:

- Generate daily reports on absenteeism, advise parents/carers and teachers, and document relevant information for input into the school engagement process.
- Generate a 'Daily Attendance Report' every morning and provide to all teaching staff and deputy principals, and advise teachers of amendments to attendance records due to late notification.
- Collect and coordinate data relating to student engagement, follow up students who are chronically absent, monitor student programs, and provide information to teachers and school leaders. Liaise with the Student Support Officer, Head of Special Education Program, and Guidance Officer, to address issues relating to students experiencing problems that prevent their engagement at school.
- Maintain a database listing students that are independent students, students residing with carers (guardian kinship care/child safety officers), students where there are legal orders against the parents/guardians, or other issues that may impact on student attendance and engagement.
- Monitor attendance as a means of increasing awareness of students experiencing problems, and to allow for intervention before such problems get out of hand, and provide this information and advice to assist teachers with managing students with non-attendance issues.
- Develop relationships between the school and families of students who show persistent absence from school to encourage students' continuous attendance at school, assist teachers addressing these barriers to school attendance, and contribute to the development and implementation of strategies and procedures to counter causes of school non-attendance.
- Identify barriers to students attending school and achieving outcomes by referral to appropriate support services, especially students at risk (at home or in the school environment).
- Provide administrative support including assistance at the student counter, assistance in managing variations to student timetables, including school based apprenticeships, work experience, off campus activities, etc., and provide first aid for students where required.
