Student Services

Our Student Services team is very experienced and diverse. We have a range of support available to our students. Our staff are focused on providing a Positive Learning Environment for all students. Our new school business plan has this as a priority, which says:

“Our positive learning environment is one in which the core belief of both students and staff is that everyone has the capacity for growth. Social and emotional learning is taught to students as part of the lower school curriculum. Policies and procedures for managing attendance, behaviour and wellbeing are informed by evidence-based best practice. When students feel positive about themselves and have a sense of belonging, they are more likely to achieve to their full potential.”

In our team we have:

Three Program Coordinators:

PC Student Services – Tina Nottle
PC Senior School – Tim Fry
PC Follow the Dream – Asharie Bradshaw

We also have two full time Heads of Year, who oversee the attendance, behaviour and wellbeing for their designated year groups:

Years 7&9 – Nic Andrew
Years 8&10 – Nghia Nguyen

We have Student Support Officers, who provide additional support to the year groups:

Years 7&9 – Darren Austin
Years 8&10 – Sharon Depiazzi
Years 11&12 – Danelle Field

We have two School Officers: Anne Deighton and Toni Hotchin.

And we have a range of other staff who provide important support to students in our school:

School Psychologist – Lauren Dragon
School Nurse – Penny Thornton
Learning Support Coordinator – Sarah Hales (Sarah manages our large team of Education Assistants, who provide important support to students in the classroom.)
Workplace Learning Coordinator – Liz Chambers
School Chaplain – Deon Throne
Aboriginal and Islander Education Officer – position currently vacant, we are in the process of filling this role.

There is always someone that the students, or their parents/carers can speak to about concerns regarding their attendance, behaviour, wellbeing, or learning concerns.
