Our School and Family Development Officer

My name is Tara, and I am your School and Family Development Worker here at St Marys Primary School.

What is a School and Family Development Worker? - well it is a role in which I wear many different hats from supporting your children 1-1 to talk about their wellbeing to helping our school connect with the local community such as the Christmas light night. I can support families in many ways by listening and being there for you or referring to outside agencies which can help you with your situations.

A little about me- I moved back to Angus recently from West Lothian where I spent many years working in the same role but in high schools I am also trained as a counsellor, I have worked in the social care field all my adult life, so I know a lot about Care, Health and Wellbeing and Crisis Intervention. I have 3 children, one of which is all grown up and has flown the coop, so I have been there seen it and done it all through my own experiences as a parent.

Enough of blowing my own trumpet…

I am here for you as a family, I am here for your children, I am here to help support the relationship between the local community and school and I am here for St Marys to make it a better place and help us all be the best we can be!

To get in touch with me you can call the school office or message me on seesaw.
