Good Counsel College
Good Counsel College is a small, but growing, Catholic co-educational secondary school with a strong sense of community and pride that offers a quality and holistic educational experience for students in Years 7-12. It operates under the auspices of the Catholic Diocese of Cairns and enjoys collaborative partnerships with Catholic Primary schools in Tully, South Johnstone, Silkwood, Innisfail and Babinda whilst also welcoming students from state and other schools who are seeking a Catholic education for their children and who share our values.
The College strives to provide a quality education for the whole person in a safe and nurturing environment where students can grow, emotionally, spiritually, academically and physically.
About the Role
The role of the Wellbeing Leader is to support the mission of the school through leadership in the support of students as school and family community members. This involves developing and implementing effective pastoral practices which provide for students' welfare and coordinating the efforts of staff in students' holistic growth through ensuring that appropriate programs and processes are developed and followed at all levels to encourage students to embrace a way of living based on the values of the Gospel and to manage student behaviours which are contrary to this; ensuring the quality and effectiveness of teacher practice through appropriate supervision; developing partnerships with parents and carers and other appropriate partnerships within and outside of the school; and prudently administering available resources.
It also involves working collaboratively with key staff, particularly the Learning Leaders to manage student engagement in all areas of college life.
