The Youth team at Casey Fields Primary School supports students from Prep to Grade 6 by working both individually and in groups to help develop a range of skills that empower students in the classroom. To achieve this result, the youth team implement a number of approaches, including:
The team consists of three youth workers who work collaboratively with leadership, the wellbeing team, teaching staff and students to provide the students of Casey Fields Primary with opportunities to utilise a youth voice in decision-making in their own wellbeing journey.
The Youth Hub
The Youth Hub is located central to Casey Fields Primary.
The hub is equipped with resources to support in socialisation, engagement, and regulation, as well as providing a dedicated space for students to access a quiet space during times that they may need it. Students are welcome to use the space when they are dysregulated or need additional support from the Youth Team, or, when they are hoping to engage in Youth Clubs.
The Youth Hub is stocked with fun boardgames, card games and interactive activities which can be used to support in prosocial engagement during individual sessions, as well as group sessions facilitated by the youth workers.
