Naomi Dowden
Available 5 days a week
Our Guidance Officer Naomi is a fully qualified counsellor who provides confidential counselling on vocational, educational and personal issues.
Guidance counsellors help empower students to meet the challenges they face, as well as help them cope with complex decision making that comes with adolescence. This service is provided to all students and their parents or carers on an individual or family basis.
Throughout the year our guidance counsellor helps students with career decisions, subject selections and with the applications for universities and TAFE colleges through the QTAC application process. Our Guidance Counsellor also supports students to apply for Access Arrangements and Reasonable Adjustments (AARA) in their senior years, to ensure that students are supported to overcome barriers to their ability to complete assessment.
