School psychologists
Our students come from a range of diverse backgrounds some of which can lead to particular challenges for a few students. This can impact on their behaviour and the students’ ability to become successful learners. School psychologists play an essential role in helping these students, with the assistance of their teachers and families, to succeed at school and enjoy a happy and positive future.
To work as a school psychologist you must be registered or provisionally registered with the Psychology Board of Australia. You also need to have a recognised teaching qualification.
