WELLBEING CORNER

MEET OUR WELLBEING COORDINATORS 

Introducing our Wellbeing Coordinators Kelly Gaunt  and Joanne Johnson.

Kelly is our Wellbeing Coordinator at the Western Campus and says "Wellbeing is a place that all students are welcome and we currently have one in six students accessing Wellbeing. Rowville Secondary College has a real sense of community and I thoroughly enjoy working with staff, students and their families and find Rowville to be a very caring community."  

Joanne is our Wellbeing Coordinator at the Eastern Campus and has been at Rowville Secondary College for over 20 years now and shared that she “feels privileged to be able to support such incredible young people as they grow through a diverse range of challenges.”  A highlight of her time in Wellbeing has been “watching students grow through troubled times to a place where they are confident to use their new found voices. To see students take on leadership roles and use their developed emotional intelligence to help others is very rewarding.”
