Learning Services
Learning Services is a dedicated team of educators whose purpose is to support the emotional and academic needs of a diverse group of students. This team includes:
Learning Services teachers: Mrs. Yvonne Brien (Department Head), Ms. Zoe Damant, and Ms. Priscilla Walkley
Alternate and Indigenous Education teacher: Mr. Nicholas Richards
Counsellor(s): Ms. Christina Sommerfeld (school-based counsellor) and Mrs. Alissa Amos (District Indigenous Support Counsellor)
Indigenous Education Support Worker(s): Mrs. Mary Elliott
Youth Care Worker(s): Keith Young
All students are welcome to access the Learning Centre. The Learning Center is available as an alternate, and often quieter, working space where students can get additional support with learning new concepts or can partake in a timetabled support block, as determined by their school-based team. This space is staffed by one of the three Student Services teachers and, in some instances, an Education Assistant, working together as a team to deliver effective student support and to facilitate student learning.
Learning Services is exactly what the title implies. Our job is to make sure that students are receiving the support, the advocacy, and the services that they need to be successful learners and school citizens.
