A message from the Student Wellbeing Coordinator
Ashley Oehler
As we come to the end of Term 1, Wellbeing is saying goodbye to our placement students. Cait and Pinol have worked with a range of students at Westall Secondary College to support their wellbeing. Cait and Pinol have shown dedication and commitment to this school, and they encapsulate all of our school values. The Wellbeing team and students will miss them dearly, but we wish them the best of luck as they complete their Masters of Counselling.
In more news, Wellbeing have run multiple workshops across the school. Centreing around communication, help seeking and impact.
Over the holidays we encourage you all to stay connected by seeing each other face to face or giving your friends a call. The holidays can sometimes feel lonely but we hope you all reach out to one another. If you need support over the holidays, here are some services you can contact if you need to reach out.
