The Student Health Team forms an important part of the school’s overall structure and is composed of skilled professionals working together to promote students’ health and well-being. The team provides a versatile and holistic approach to addressing various needs and challenges.
School Psychologist: The school psychologist contributes expertise in the psychological aspects of students’ development and learning. Through psychological assessments and interventions, the psychologist supports students who may have specific psychological needs. The psychologist also collaborates with teachers and parents to create a supportive environment for students’ mental health. At our school, the psychologist is an external consultant who is engaged when needed. This allows the school to benefit from specialized expertise as required.
Special Needs Educator: The special needs educator plays a key role in supporting students who face learning difficulties or require additional assistance to reach their full potential. By identifying individual strengths and challenges, the special needs educator develops strategies and interventions tailored to each student’s unique needs.
This work may include adapting teaching methods, providing one-on-one or small group support, and designing learning environments that promote inclusion and accessibility. The special needs educator also collaborates closely with classroom teachers, parents, and other members of the student health team to ensure that every student receives the right support.
Through their expertise, the special needs educator helps create equal learning opportunities, enabling students to participate fully in school life and achieve both academic and personal growth.
Principal’s Leadership: The principal plays a central role as the leader of the Student Health Team. By providing guidance, resources, and support, the principal enables effective collaboration and functioning within the team. The principal is also responsible for integrating the student health perspective into the school’s overall strategies and decision-making.
This constitutes our diverse and well-coordinated Student Health Team, which extends beyond teaching to support students at multiple levels and ensure a safe and healthy school environment. By working together, the team can develop a comprehensive understanding of students’ needs and contribute to an inclusive and positive school climate.
