Profile

Nicky Sloss

Supporting schools to enhance whole-school wellbeing approaches is a central part of my role at AISNSW, as the Wellbeing Consultant. The Masters of Adolescent Health and Wellbeing has been a perfect course to enhance my knowledge and expertise as well as contextualise the learning to meet the needs of my full-time work.

The course was particularly attractive to me due to the cross-sectoral nature of participants – learning alongside social workers, nurses, teachers, child protection staff and police officers has enhanced my understanding of holistic adolescent health and wellbeing support and approaches.

I have been able to contextualise course materials and assessment tasks to support my full-time work and have also appreciated the online nature of the course and support from lecturers and administrative start each semester.
