Abstract

This article describes a novel format for enhancing the professional skills of school counsellors who are faced with increasing demands to adopt a consultancy model in order to manage their work responsibilities. The system, known as SHARK-Net, utilises the Internet in a consultancy model which links school counsellors with expert support. The purpose of this article is to describe the communication features of the system and how information is managed, and to explain its benefits to the development of consultancy skills among school counsellors.
