Doctors in Secondary Schools Program

The Doctors in Secondary School (DiSS) program is an initiative of the Department of Education. The program funds doctors in selected secondary schools across the state. It provides free access to GPs in schools for a period of time each week at no cost to the students or parents.

Dandenong High School currently runs their DiSS program on each Thursday during the school terms. Our doctor is available between 9.30am and 1.30pm and any Dandenong High School student can make an appointment and see our doctor.

Appointments can be made for students by their parents or students can make their own appointments. For parents to make appointment, please contact the General Office at the school and speak with office staff. Students can also make their appointments at the General Office or through their House Leadership Team or the Wellbeing staff in A26.

Dandenong High School has made it a priority to have a doctor who has a local practice in our community, which means that students can make appointments with the same doctor at times when the they are not available at the school. These would include other days when the doctor is not at the school or during the holiday breaks when the school is closed.

Sporting Change

Have a legal issue? Our school lawyer, Ariz Ansari, and youth worker, Milly Lefau, are here to help!

Our Sporting Change program helps students learn about their legal rights through sport, while also providing access to a free and confidential school lawyer. Over the past few years, we’ve helped students with everything from getting unpaid wages back to understanding their work rights, fines, tenancy, and migration issues.

Think you might have a legal problem? Come by for a chat! Or just join us for a fun game after school and learn more about your rights along the way.

The School Lawyer program runs at room A25 every Thursday from 9am to 3:15pm. You may speak to your teacher, well-being staff or email school.lawyer@smls.com.au to make an appointment, or just walk in at Room A25 from 9am to 3:15pm.

The Sporting Change program runs after school every Thursday from 3:30pm to 5pm at Melaleuca.
