Supporting your Child's External Assessments

At Surfside, we understand that many students are involved in various assessments and investigations with a range of professionals, including Paediatricians, Psychologists, Occupational Therapists, Speech Pathologists, and other support services. As always, we are committed to supporting your choices in determining the best way to support your child and when the right time is for any investigation or intervention.

Should you require assistance in navigating the options available or would like to discuss any support services, please do not hesitate to reach out to either Gill or Kellie. We frequently have access to services and clinicians with shorter waitlists, and we are happy to help guide you through the process.

If your child is undergoing any investigations or assessments, we kindly ask that you keep us informed.  Please submit paper copies of assessment forms or surveys directly to Gill or Kellie in Wellbeing, or email them to us using either of the following addresses:

• kellie.hewson@education.vic.gov.au
• gillian.hodgson@education.vic.gov.au

Please refrain from approaching teaching staff directly with these requests, as they are best directed to the Wellbeing team.
