I would like to warmly welcome several new staff who will be valuable additions to the support we provide our students and families.
In 2026, we are excited to be expanding our wellbeing supports through the introduction of music therapy. Our new Music Therapist, Ms Xin Yi Lee, will be working part-time on Mondays and Tuesdays, providing both individual music therapy sessions and small group work. Music therapy offers students an alternative and engaging way to build emotional regulation, communication skills, confidence and wellbeing.
Within our Inclusion Team, we are pleased to welcome Ms Jodi Woolf as our new Inclusion Coordinator. Jodi will be primarily based on the senior campus, where she will provide daily support to students, work closely with teaching staff, and support our inclusion aides to ensure students receive consistent and responsive support throughout their learning day.
We are also delighted to welcome Ms Charli Bartlett to our Careers Team as Careers Education Coordinator. Charli’s appointment strengthens our careers support and will allow us to further expand individual counselling, run more group programs and provide pathway planning to support students as they explore future study, training and employment options.
We also welcome Ms Tanya Alderton as our new Teacher Librarian. Tanya will be overseeing our Resource Centres, supporting students and staff to access high-quality learning resources, and fostering a love of reading and research skills across the school.
In addition to these appointments, in Term 4 last year we welcomed Ms Gaby Orr to the role of Student Wellbeing Coordinator, based on the Junior Campus. Gaby provides individual counselling support to students, while also developing and delivering targeted Tier 2 wellbeing groups. A key focus of Gaby’s role is supporting student transitions, particularly the move from Grade 6 to Year 7 and Year 8 to Year 9.
These new staffing positions reflect our ongoing commitment to providing additional support to our students and we are thrilled to have such skilled professionals joining our community.
Mr Paul Graham
Student Support and Resources Manager
