Welcome to College

 

​Psychologist Kylie Campbell

Welcome to Kylie Campbell, our new College Psychologist. Kylie is a Registered Psychologist with extensive experience working with children, young people and their families. She is skilled in providing a range of evidence-based interventions, including counselling, consultation, support, and implementation of psycho-educational programs.

Kylie’s role at the College is to support and complement the work done in teams to improve student learning and wellbeing, and to provide psychological expertise and intervention as required. She will work closely with teams of teachers including our Homegroup Coaches, Academic Care & Wellbeing Coordinators and wider College staff. She will liaise with outside agencies as required and generally work to improve our care and support for students and families.

On Wednesday mornings, a team of data, numeracy, literacy and coaching specialists meet to plan interventions for individuals and groups of students. This includes support for the highly proficient, those seeking literacy/numeracy support, those not learning and/or those not working. Kylie attends these meetings and contributes greatly to the expertise of the team and its collective capacity to plan effective support for individuals and groups.

In line with the the Australian Psychological Society professional and ethical guidelines, students will be able to self-refer to the School Psychologist.  Whilst parental consent is not necessary for an initial session, parental involvement will be encouraged. Referral suggestions can also be made by parents, and teaching staff. Alternatively, you can contact the appropriate Academic Care & Wellbeing Coordinator to discuss a referral. More information regarding the Psychology service offered at the College can be found here.

We are deeply appreciative of the CSO support for Kylie’s appointment and look forward to shaping the role into the best form to support our students and families.
