My name is Leanne Watson and I am continuing this year as the guidance officer at Enoggera State School. My role is to advocate for young people by providing guidance and support to help improve the educational outcomes and emotional wellbeing of all students. Within the role of guidance officer, I provide the following services to our school community:

• counselling to students individually and in small groups
• supporting students with specific wellbeing and learning needs
• collaborating with education and external practitioners, families, and other agencies to provide multidisciplinary student mental health support
• contributing to the social, emotional, and academic development of students in consultation with families and school staff
• providing psychoeducational assessments to students who are having learning difficulties
• supporting families in response to challenging and complex circumstances.

If you have a concern regarding your child’s emotional wellbeing or learning needs, please contact your classroom teacher who can refer to our Student Support team.

Please reach out if you have a challenging time in your family and need support, I am here to help. I am available every Thursday and Friday and can be contacted directly via email lwats128@eq.edu.au.
