I am a 19 year old male who is training to become an SLSO. I enjoyed listening to different perspectives of the SLSO role and the many experiences that SLSOs have. The most challenging part for me is when a child doesn't have food. It makes me super emotional and annoyed that parents don't support their child with the proper resources (food, water and clean clothes). Great Video.
Oh the food is a heartbreaker. I know I get cranky enough when my tummy grumbles and some of our kids miss many meals in a day. It's very hard, but we can have faith that during the day we give them care and love to keep going ❤
@@talkinchalk I agree 100%.
Thank you for that video! I have just enrolled in Cert IV Ed Support and you guys made the job human. You answered questions I had that I couldn't find answers to anywhere else. I'm definitely on the right path.
Excellent video. Thank you so much for practical advice.
Thank you for this in sight I was a support work now planning to work in schools, this is going to help me and not make it so overwhelming. Fantastic video
It was so great to hear from your SLSO! Please thank her for being willing to be on RUclips :) My SLSOs said the same thing- communicate, take the lead and work as a team. I said the same thing in my video - that SLSOs provide an extra pair of eyes and ears in our classrooms. Great video :)
Kafoople Land thanks for inviting me to collab! I have your video saved ready to watch when the kids are in bed. Looking forward to hearing from the secondary perspective 😃😃😃 great idea for a topic EJ.
As a parent this has been very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you, this is very insightful as I'm considering going down the path of an SLSO in my later life and career change.
A bit late to the game, three years later 😊 but thank you so much for this video. I am currently applying for two SLSO jobs and I’m a total newbie who is a bit nervous whether this is the right career for me but your lovely SLSO has just made me feel much better and confident that I’m doing the right thing! I want to be the kind of SLSO she is 😁
Thanks so much for this!
I like the statement about making memories... Well put :)
Abaolutely! That's the first time I've heard it put that way. So lovely ❤
Great video ladies. Yes I agree be organised ie resources, planners. When we come in we can get straight to work. I’m in the same class every day and the teacher has the children say good morning and good afternoon to me as well.
What great role modelling of respect and value for the students. Sounds like you have a great partnership in the classroom! ❤
Nicely explained. I liked the vedio, really helpful. Thanks
Starting as an SLSO tomorrow! Thank you for making this video!
You're very welcome! Good luck on your first day ❤
Congrats on that role. Did you study for the role? I’ve been trying to get a job within this role but haven’t nailed the cover letter part just yet would love some advice and feedback on how to get that part down.
@@jasjas-mm2gg Hey, I got offered the role after doing my prac at the school as a primary teacher. So I’m not quite sure about the cover letter.
Informative!!! Kindly make more videos for SLSO ... how to apply for this role? Where SLSO can work? As she mentioned that she is working in preschool and primary school... thanks 👍🏻
I’m glad you liked the video 😀 SLSOs can work in public schools. Our school has a preschool and a primary school together which is why she works in both. Check the NSW Department of Education website for more info 👍
In SA we are called SSOs :)
Is SLSO THE the same as learning support assistant to children with learning disabilities, behavior challenges and special needs?
I’m an engineer and I want to study Certificate IV in Education Support. Can I find a job as a school services officer even if my English is not very good?
Hi, I know this video was from a year ago but I was wondering do you have to go on camp or excursions with the class?
SLSOs can go on camp if they choose to but my understanding is they cannot be made to go if they don't want to. I also believe if they do then they get some kind of over time pay or penalty rate. You would need to confirm that with staffing though as I'm not 100% sure on that.
Excursions definitely yes though.
Hi
Thank you so much for providing an insight for the role . I wanted to ask you if toileting is also part of the role .?
Sometimes it can be depending on the needs of the student.
@@talkinchalk
Your video has been really helpful . Thank you for answering the question .🙏
What qualifications or experience do you need? Sorry if this came up but if so I missed it - fast talkers! Very key point
In NSW Cert 3 or 4 at TAFE is usually the expectation
Thanks but in what? Is there a specific course? Or do you just mean educated to at least that level generally. The job ads are quite non specific
@@jacquibouf9306 I believe the course is a Cert 3 in Education Support
Are there many male SLSOs?
Teaching in general is dominantly women. It's the same with SLSOs. Not many males.
@@talkinchalk Cool thanks
