  • Classroom Support: Work alongside classroom teachers to implement behaviour management strategies that promote a positive and inclusive learning environment. Support teachers in addressing behavioural issues and fostering a culture of respect and cooperation.
  • Monitor Progress: Maintain detailed records of students’ behaviour, progress, and any interventions used. Provide regular updates to teachers, parents, and other relevant parties to ensure a coordinated approach to each student’s development.
  • Liaise with External Agencies: Ensure that students receive comprehensive support by collaborating with counsellors, social workers, and other professionals to address the broader needs of students and their families.
