Albert Park Primary School

Hi, I’m Clair Griffiths the School Social Worker. I have been working with kids, teenagers and their families for a long time. Now I have been asked to work at your school. I really love my work because I get to meet lots of great kids like you and try to help them feel happier. We have great fun together, do lots of activities and play games.

NOW THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT! If you come to talk to me, I won’t talk to your parents or your teachers about what you have said unless you tell me it’s ok. WHAT YOU SAY IS JUST BETWEEN US!

So... if you think you might want to talk to me about how you are feeling or something that is worrying you, please drop by my office and see me.

Here is a list of some of the things that kids talk to me about!

• Bullying
• Changing schools
• Feeling angry
• Feeling sad all the time
• Feeling stressed out
• Friendship
• Loss or grief
• Parents separating
• Problems with your parents
• Violence at home
• And much more...

When can you see me? - I am at the school on Wednesdays and Thursday. If you want to come and see me, you can drop by my office, or you could ask one of your parents or your teacher to make a time. It’s up to you.

Where to find me! - Follow the stairs near the office up to the second floor and turn right just behind the Reading Recovery Room. I’ve put some signs around the place, so you won’t get lost!
