The Student Services Team consists of two Guidance Officers, three Heads of Department, a School Based Health Nurse, a Social Worker, a Community Education Counsellor, a Youth Worker and a Transitional Pathways Officer.

The team is spearheaded by Principal Annie Murie who has recognised the needs within our community and is ensuring that every student who attends Mossman State High School has the prime opportunity to be effectively supported to gain a fantastic education and identify extensive future pathways.
