Student Wellbeing 

Clinical Wellbeing Team

Hello everyone, we hope that you all enjoyed the school holiday break and managed to take time to yourself to refresh and recharge for the year ahead of us. As we slowly ease back into the school year, the Clinical Wellbeing Team would like to take the time to properly introduce ourselves to the Brookside community.

While some of you may already be familiar with the team, many of you may have been wondering who we are, what we do and where you can find us. Our team consists of five trained clinicians with varying degrees of experience:  Claire Volpe, Sandra Pham, Krissy Martin, Reginald Zafra, and the Student Wellbeing Leader & Careers Coordinator Raj Kandasamy who oversees the team.

Our main goal is to be able to support all of the students at Brookside College and be there to support our students’ social and emotional concerns, especially relating to the school environment. You can find us over at The Zone, which is located right next to the canteen under the hayshed.

The Zone is a wonderful little place where students are welcome to spend a few minutes inside when they’re feeling like they need a time-out, and is also a space where they can choose to have a chat with any one of us. As always, it is important to note that the first point of call should be their teacher before students can head over.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know us, and we look forward to the year ahead!
