Wellbeing Expo

This term, the Student Support Services Team organised a Wellbeing Expo. Services from the Dandenong area and beyond attended the school and set up their displays and activities to showcase the programs and services that are available to students in the community. Students attended the Expo in class groups and engaged in the activities and conversations with the representatives from the services. The day was successful and we look forward to expanding the Expo in 2025.
