Social Work
The role of the Social Worker at PPSS involves a variety of activities. Primarily, the Social Worker works with students and their families to assist in the many additional tasks associated with having a child with a disability.Many families require information about what services and support is available and how to access services. The Social Worker acts as the link between the school, those external services, and the family.
To maximise opportunities for students and to create future partnerships, the Social Worker networks with many external providers including Moira and Centrelink.
The Social Worker also advises and plans for student management in relation to behaviour and welfare issues.
