QGCA invites you to their first Twilight PD of 2026!
Friday 27 March 2026- online or in person
SUB room at Kelvin Grove State College
Registration is FREE!!
Our guest speakers, Dr Rachel Leslie, Dr Glenys Oberg & Dr Saidat Adeniji present "From Pressure to Possibility: Rethinking Wellbeing Work in Queensland Schools"
School wellbeing professionals are facing unprecedented pressure—rising student needs, mounting emotional labour, and workloads that too often pull them into constant crisis response. Drawing on two new Queensland studies, this presentation highlights the key challenges shaping Guidance Officer, Counsellor, and School Psychologist roles today, from task overload to the under-implementation of MTSS. But it also offers hope. Participants will gain practical, low lift strategies to reclaim time, strengthen Tier 1 and Tier 2 supports, and reduce burnout risk. This is a session for anyone seeking clarity, sustainability, and renewed purpose in supporting student wellbeing. (Bios attached).
