Student Support Team

A student support team is a student-focused mechanism put in place by a school in order to:

• co-ordinate the support available for students in the school

• facilitate links to the community and other non-school support services

• enable students with support needs to continue to access a full education

• assist staff to manage those students effectively

• ensure new staff members are briefed about policies and procedures relating to student wellbeing and support

• advise school management on the development and review of effective student support policies and structures.
