Program Overview
The Hedland Senior High School (SHS) has launched the Rise Up program, a whole-school initiative designed to support students in achieving personal growth and success. The program provides extended opportunities for students across Years 7 to 12 to engage with school and community and to celebrate success.
The Rise Up Teacher plays a crucial role in developing targets for student improvement, co-designing plans to meet them, and collaborating with internal and external stakeholders to provide learning opportunities for small group learning.
Key responsibilities include leading whole school assemblies, promoting student voice through the Student Leadership Team, and supporting leadership development. The teacher also collaborates with staff to create meaningful opportunities for students to improve, develop, and demonstrate skills through real-world experiences, including volunteering and community projects.
