About the College Counsellor |  |
|||||||||||||||||||||
Dear Parents and Students, I would like to say a very big thank you to the staff and students of Domremy College for the warm welcome that has been extended to me since my commencement as School Counsellor. I also acknowledge my predecessor and appreciate the hard work and effort Malanie De Silva went to in ensuring student files were handed over in as thorough manner as possible. My background is in Psychology and Teaching. I completed my initial training in Queensland in 1996 and have since worked in Queensland, Victoria, the Northern Territory and the United Kingdom across the contexts of School Psychology and Teaching, Child Protection, Child Abuse Prevention and Therapy as well as Youth Justice. I hold a strong interest in the area of Prevention Programs and Empowerment, with the majority of my work influenced by the area of Positive Psychology. I feel privileged to be working at a school that is both steeped in tradition and yet so open to innovative ideas and practices – the very fact the School Counsellor role exists is in itself testimony to the school’s progressiveness. Psychology has much to offer school communities – including the promotion of well-being and healthy thinking patterns, leadership, relationships, problem solving and parenting, along with teaching approaches, delivery and classroom management. Each fortnight will include a contribution to the school’s newsletter, with tips and information also placed onto the website. Suggestions and ideas from all members of the school community are more than welcome. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you all at some stage as the school year progresses. Ms Kylie Cann, MAPS
