Attendance & Pastoral Officer

• Apr 2022 - Jul 2023

Currently, I serve as the main liaison in regards to improving attendance as well as helping with pastoral levels school-wide, producing in-depth reports and concise visuals enabling senior faculty to understand timelines, identify key gaps and develop relevant solutions and strategies. With my strong analytical skills, I sift and evaluate complex datasets pertaining to attendance statistics, regularly reviewing data and information retrieved from multiple sources to conduct assessments and write quarterly reports. I also support optimisation and administering of new attendance systems and behavioural frameworks. I help plan, organise and facilitate assemblies and workshops to expand on staff’s understanding across specific wellness and pastoral areas, and to increase staff’s abilities on working with students and fulfilling their welfare needs. I also host and lead meetings with parents to discuss concerns on attendance, behaviour and underperforming areas On a regular basis, I coordinate with the EWO to discuss ways on improving attendance, mitigating students’ classroom issues, and working closely to investigate and intervene accordingly on matters to realign priorities, benefitting students from schooling.

Attendance / Welfare officer

• Sep 2019 - Apr 2022

As Attendance & Welfare Officer I monitor and assess attendance and behavioural statistics primarily using a data management system as well as software such as the MS Office Suite, and actively support the wellbeing and development of students at a diverse international boarding school. I regularly prepare spreadsheets and reports and liaise closely with colleagues while undertaking interventions if necessary to maintain students’ attendance and welfare. I organise and attend meetings across the school community and manage communications with external agencies including Visa compliance officers. I am also, involved with the school’s senior management team, attending and taking minutes at meetings and working to facilitate greater support for SEN students. In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic having dominated the majority of my tenure to date, I have been able to deliver an increase in overall attendance from 80% to above 90% across all programmes offered by the school. I have achieved this by consistently demonstrating strong initiative, organisation and responsiveness to changing situations as well as the ability to coordinate operations as part of a team.
