It was noticed an initial necessity of awareness about the psychologist role and about a greateracceptance of a job that could not be just clinical. The practice of the psychologist and of the psychology intern in this context were discussed and related to education and health in a broad sense.

A psicologia escolar dedica-se a integrar ações que facilitem a aprendizagem e o desenvolvimento da comunidade escolar. O psicólogo tem a função de rever constantemente as concepções e práticasprofissionais de modo que elas possam dar conta da complexidade dessa realidade, ampliando a concepção da queixa escolar para que se identifiquem os demais fatores associados a estas queixas. Estetrabalho apresenta um relato de intervenções realizadas durante um estágio em psicologia escolar, em uma escola pública do interior do RS. Percebeu-se a necessidade inicial de conscientização em relação ao papel do psicólogo, e maior aceitação de um trabalho não exclusivamente clínico. Discutem-se as práticas do psicólogo e do estagiário de Psicologia nesse contexto, no que diz respeito à educação e à saúde em sentido amplo.
