Learning Support Officers (LSO)
Who greets each and every student, by name with a smile come rain, hail or shine?
Who supports your child when they have had a bad morning and they need to have a cry?
Who tends to your child when they are injured on the playground?
Who administers medication to children that need it?
Who helps facilitate all school events?
Who assists the teachers with assessment?
Who actively engages in one on one time with your child?
Who facilitates extension and support groups in all areas of the curriculum?
Who runs groups for behavior support?
Who is a stable constant in the classroom and introduces a Casual Relief Teacher?
Who aids in classroom management?
Learning Support Officers (LSO’s) that’s who. We are blessed with amazing teachers, those teachers couldn’t do what they do without the team of LSO’s working beside them. The LSO’s do far more in the school than we realise and they do it for our kids.
