Life Ready Day
Our senior students took part in an action-packed Life Ready Day, designed to help them prepare for Year 12 and the challenges and opportunities that lie beyond school. Students participated in a range of practical, informative and engaging workshops, including:
- Galmatic Car Maintenance – hands-on workshops where students learned essential car maintenance skills to build confidence and independence.
- My HSC Conference – presented by Deputy Principal Ann-Maree, providing students with important NESA information and advice to help them get Year 12 off to a successful start.
- Sexual Health – informative sessions exploring conception, contraception, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and available health services.
- Household Finances – practical workshops helping students understand the cost of living and develop important financial literacy skills for life after school.
- Wellbeing Wednesday – exploring strategies to support mental health, manage stress and maintain positive wellbeing.
Life Ready Day gave students the opportunity to develop valuable real-world skills, ask questions and build the knowledge and confidence they need for their future.
A big thank you to our Wellbeing team, staff and external presenters for delivering such engaging and valuable learning experiences for our students.
Love Bites: Building Respectful Relationships
Our students took part in the Love Bites program, an important initiative focused on respectful relationships education for young people. The program helps students understand what positive, healthy relationships look like and encourages respect for themselves and others. It also equips young people with the skills to navigate challenges, communicate effectively and resolve conflict in safe and respectful ways, without violence.
The program was supported by 12 dedicated volunteers from a range of services, including School Support Officers (SSOs), youth workers, community organisations and police. Students participated in two content workshops and a creative session, providing opportunities to explore important issues, share ideas and reflect on what respectful relationships mean in their everyday lives.
At Wyndham College, we are committed to supporting our students to develop the knowledge, confidence and skills they need to build healthy relationships and contribute to a safe, respectful and inclusive community.
Thank you to all the volunteers and community partners who helped make this valuable learning opportunity possible, including our Wellbeing team at Wyndham!

If you need help with organisation and study skills, Wyndham College is offering new "drop in" study skills tutoring sessions at recess with Sara in D7. All students are welcome to attend.
