Student Services : Wellbeing

We're halfway through Term One already

We hope students are now getting into the swing of things as we enter week 6 of Term 1! 

Meet our new Student Wellbeing Placement Student 

We are very excited to have our placement student, Megan onboard who will be with us every Monday and Tuesday. Megan is a third year Masters of Counselling student and will be supporting the Wellbeing Team, as well as our students until the end of Term 2.  

Megan has experience from previous placements working with parents with anxious teenagers and in her down time is an avid baker, and is obsessed with every single breed of dog and cat.
