Student Wellbeing

Keysborough Secondary College is fortunate to have accessible Wellbeing teams at each campus, led by Student Wellbeing Managers Chantelle Johnson (Acacia) and Jodie Beddoe (Banksia) teams consist of Youth Workers, Chaplains and a Mental health Practitioner.

The wellbeing teams at each campus work proactively with our students, to empower them in reaching their full potential, by developing skills including resilience and independence.

Information shared within Wellbeing is confidential unless the content of the conversation is regarded as high risk and needs to be shared in order to provide further support to the student.

Wellbeing teams operate 8am-4pm Monday to Friday, outside of these hours if the need arises students and parents should contact local support organisations. Details of this support can be provided on request.

The Student Wellbeing team is dedicated to fostering resilience and promoting positive wellbeing to encourage sustained engagement with learning. They achieve this by focusing on goal-setting and utilising a strengths-based approach.
