Sackville High
What is your "why"? What drives you to do this important work each day?
When I was in school, I had no support, no one who understood how I learned or what I needed. It was incredibly frustrating and led to me dropping out and returning as an adult. I never want my students to feel like they're alone in their struggles. I'll always be there for them, every step of the way.
What do you enjoy most about your role?
I enjoy that ALL Students trust and appreciate me enough, that they will come to me about anything and everything. Knowing that I will do my best to support them. When we see how many students who struggle with Mental Health reach out to us, it means that we're doing something right. AMEN.
What would you most like families to know about the role of Student Support Workers in HRCE schools?
We are here for your child's success. We support our students in all areas of life. From academics to situations outside of school, sports, and just a mentor and an ear to listen and help navigate their way through this very difficult thing we call life. We also support their families when needed and appropriate.
