Stage Advisors
Stage advisors provide pastoral care for secondary students. Stage advisors meet regularly with members of the executive staff, including learning support. Together, they respond to welfare concerns and plan pro-active welfare activities.
They encourage students to achieve to their personal best
Stage advisors encourage their year group to become involved in various aspects of school life. As advisors become familiar with their students they are able to look for opportunities to help students use their individual talents and skills to contribute to the school community. They encourage students to work together on projects and build team work skills.
In addition, year advisors track the overall academic progress of their students. This allows them to contribute to the process of placing students into their core classes and to offer advice to students in relation to subject choices.
They support and promote student welfare
Stage advisors are often the first point of contact for students who are experiencing difficulties. This could include:
- bullying
- conflict with parents
- loss of a loved one, and
- health issues.
Stage advisors can provide students with a range of strategies to help them cope with these stresses. They also help students to work with other staff such as the counsellor and the girls' advisor. They can work with a student's teachers to organise work when students are absent or require special consideration.
Students with ongoing behaviour issues are identified by year advisors and normally receive mentoring from their advisor. Stage advisors:
- mentor students with ongoing behaviour issues
- monitor student attendance
- communicate interventions with parents
- aim to work collaboratively to resolve issues
Organising extra-curricular activities
Stage advisors organise camps, excursions and incursions designed to build the social capacity of their stage group. These activities help students in the cohort to form bonds and learn to work together.
If you have a concern that you feel your child's stage advisor may be able to help you with, please contact the principal or deputy principal to organise an interview.
