Wellbeing and support staff

At Narrabeen Sports High School we aim to provide a safe, happy and stimulating educational environment in which students can achieve their personal best and where all members of the school community feel valued and supported.  The following staff support our students:

Year Advisers

Year Advisers are responsible for wellbeing and its impact on the learning of the students in their year group. They work closely with the school wellbeing team and classroom teachers. They are usually the first point of contact for parents in relation to any issues or problems about a student. Year Advisers are dedicated and an integral part of the school community. They work closely with staff and parents to provide the earliest possible intervention that prevents problems for their students.

Student Support Officer - Youth Worker

Ellen Stretton is our full time dedicated youth worker at school. She works exclusively with students and her office is in the library. Students are able to self refer through email, a QR code or may be referred through a member of staff. She sees her job as “walking alongside students as they navigate high school and helping work out the next steps for different concerns or situations that worry them, while also advocating to make sure their voice is heard and teaching them how to use it.” Ellen also runs small group sessions to support students navigating challenging issues.

School Counsellors

Our school counsellors support students with a range of issues related to learning, peer and  family relationships, and managing emotions such as depression, anxiety, worry or isolation. They have post graduate qualifications in psychology and are empathetic listeners who have the ability to make students feel comfortable and at ease.

Learning Support Team

Our learning and support teachers, in collaboration with classroom teachers, provide direct and timely specialist assistance to students in regular classes with additional learning and support needs and their teachers.

Careers Adviser

Our careers adviser provides information, guidance and advice to help students explore their education and career options, create a resume, search for jobs, apply for jobs and/or apply for further study. He liaises with parents, teachers, employers, community agencies and training providers to support students with their future pathways.

First Nations Adviser

Our First Nations Adviser, Ms Hayes, can assist students in all aspects of their academic journey, as well as social, cultural and personal support. Our school is committed to fostering a sense of connection and belonging and helping our students connect with other First Nations students, staff and members of our local community.

Girls/Boys Adviser

Our Girls Adviser and Boys Adviser are available to support and advise students on matters such as girls/boys issues, personal hygiene, social matters, positive behaviour and help seeking skills. They offer advice, support and encourage our students to overcome any personal or school issues. Our advisers communicate with students’ teachers, year advisers and the school counsellor on student welfare matters.

Peer Support

The Peer Support program focuses on easing the transition to high school and developing communication skills, self-confidence and self esteem. The program involves older students meeting with year 7 students to offer them support.
