The Senior Psychologist, Education provides professional leadership in the delivery of psychological services to school communities and has a key leadership role as part of the networked specialist centres.
Islington Public School is a small (165 students) educational and community hub in the inner city of Newcastle with the primary focus on the development and wellbeing of every child. We offer an outstanding education. We are proud of our students and the staff who educate them, including a range of consultants and support teachers based at the school.
In our school, every child is known, valued and cared for. We have a commitment to nurture, guide, inspire and challenge students â to find the joy in learning, to build their skills and understanding, and to make sense of their world. This means that each individual child will be known and understood, and their personal potential developed. It means knowing that they are well supported as increasingly selfâmotivated learners â confident and creative individuals with the personal resources for future success and wellbeing.
We are progressive in our approach and delivery of educational services with a strong emphasis on equipping our students with skills for the 21st Century, through the integration of the arts, STEMâbased approaches and social responsibility.
We celebrate our unique and diverse population at the school with over 30% of our students arriving as refugees from around the globe. We respect and value Aboriginal people as Australiaâs First Nation Peoples (9% of school population).
