Research RECRUITMENT Advertisement
SPAWA is unable to advertise recruitment processes for research at this time.
In Western Australia, there are three organisations that employ school psychologists. These organisations may be better suited to support your recruitment efforts and can be contacted directly:
Association of Independent Schools of Western Australia (AISWA) - https://www.ais.wa.edu.au/,
Catholic Education Western Australia (CEWA) - https://www.cewa.edu.au,
Department of Education (DOE) - https://www.education.wa.edu.au/
Completed research articles may be considered by SPAWA for inclusion in SPAWA’s affiliate journal, Australian Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools (APACS), and/or the SPAWA newsletter. Additionally, SPAWA provides opportunities for professional learning through member webinar events, this platform may be considered appropriate for sharing published research. Please contact spawaexec@gmail.com if you would like to discuss this opportunity upon completion of your research.
Professional Learning Advertisement
SPAWA seeks to connect, inform and inspire members through sharing of resources and professional learning opportunities relevant to the profession.
We are always interested in exploring SPAWA member benefits for upcoming professional learning events and being able to share upcoming opportunities with our members. Please contact spawaexec@gmail.com to discuss further.
