Student Services
Woodbridge PS places a high priority on pastoral care. Our Student Services Team is supported by our School Psychologist, School Chaplain and School Community Nurse. This team is coordinated by the Deputy Principals.
School Psychologist
We have access to a School Psychologist each week. If you have concerns about your child please discuss these with the classroom teacher where a referral to student services can be considered. If the teacher has any concerns they will discuss these with you first, with any referral requiring informed parental consent. Case management will be led by a member of the student services team.
School Chaplain
Our Chaplain provides pastoral care for students through individual support and group activities using a range of programs. This contributes to the social and emotional wellbeing of our students. Parents can request chaplaincy support for their child by contacting the school.
School Health Nurse
The School Health Nurse visits the school regularly to carry out duties, such as vision and hearing screening with Kindergarten students. Families will be informed of these visits with the school nurse. Please contact your child’s teacher if you wish to discuss any concerns regarding your child’s health. Specific health issues can impact on the overall physical, emotional, social and academic development of all students and should be dealt with as soon as possible.
Student Health / First Aid / Medication
At all times the safety of your child is our priority. Minor playground injuries during the day are normally attended to at school. The school has sick room facilities, but when a child is ill/injured every effort is made to contact a parent/guardian so that the child can be collected from school. In extreme emergencies the child may be taken to a doctor or hospital. If prescribed medication is a necessary part of your child’s health plan, please discuss this with Administration. Please inform staff if your child is experiencing emotional stress (eg; separation, illness of a close relative, grief or loss). We can often provide emotional support if staff are aware of the situation.
Dental Clinic
Children attending Woodbridge PS are able to be cared for at the Guildford Dental Clinic, the number is: 9279 5869. Appointment cards for check-ups and treatment are handed out through the school, and year level screenings occur regularly. It is important that if an appointment time is inconvenient the therapy centre is contacted to arrange a more suitable time. Your co-operation in the handling of appointments will ensure that this service operates efficiently.
