Abstract
Jessica Cashman, Kate Munro and Lisa Wyburd are all students of the Master of Teaching (School Counselling) course at the University of Sydney. They have each completed a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and come from a range of professional backgrounds ranging from support work within London primary schools, student support in an Australian high school, drug and alcohol counselling and research support work in hospitals. Jessica, Kate and Lisa are all novices in the use of SFBT. However, they recently had the opportunity to attend the second Australian and New Zealand Solution- Focused Conference in Sydney where they were introduced to the wide range of applications of SFBT and its strengths as an approach in many different settings. This has since inspired them to further investigate the different ways in which SFBT can be utilised in their future roles as school counsellors to benefit students and wider school communities as a whole. The articles reviewed follow this theme and cover a variety of concerns found in schools and how SFBT can be utilised to address these concerns and support students.
