The Lakes South Morang College Newsletter COMMUNITY NOTICEBOARD
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new Secondary School Nurse (SSN) at The Lakes South Morang College, working with the Wellbeing Team. The Secondary School Nursing Program involves the SSN working collaboratively with school leadership and regional health and wellbeing workforces to identify current service support gaps. SSNs then work in partnership with schools to respond to health and wellbeing challenges with the aim of improving health and educational outcomes for young people within schools.
My role in the school includes, but is not limited to:
• Small group work and classroom support focusing on health - related discussion and information.
• Help reduce negative health outcomes and risk - taking behaviours among young people.
• Support the school in addressing contemporary health and social issues facing young people.
• Support health promotion and primary prevention in secondary schools through identifying and building on existing school initiatives and providing appropriate preventative health care.
Support the health and wellbeing needs of their students.
