Wellbeing Matters
Year 11 Wellbeing Day
At the end of last term, our Year 11 students engaged in thought-provoking ‘Respectful Relationships’ - Your Choicez Workshops to equip them with the tools to find, build and navigate healthy and safe relationships.
Student Wellbeing Action Group (SWAG)
Our Student Wellbeing Action Group (SWAG) had another productive meeting with Leading Senior Constable Chris Dawson from the Moorabbin Police Crime Prevention Unit yesterday. Together, we're committed to enhancing the safety of our community and we deeply value our partnership. Amongst other things, we are gearing up for the upcoming Safety and Wellbeing Festival! This event is for the entire Bayside community and will be held right here at the college. Save the date and join us on Sunday October 8!

About QLife
QLife is Australia’s first nationally-oriented counselling and referral service for people of diverse sex, genders and sexualities. The service provides early intervention and peer based support for LGBTQIA+ people via:
- A national 1800 telephone counselling service
- National web-based counselling
- A national referral database of LGBTQIA+ specialist services.
- A range of resources for health professionals working people from the LGBTQIA+ community
Who is QLife for?
Qlife focuses on peer supported telephone and web based services to diverse people of all ages experiencing poor mental health, psychological distress, social isolation, discrimination, experiences of being misgendered and/or other social determinants that impact their health and wellbeing. QLife is often the first point of contact for people who are coming out, but it is available to anyone, no matter how they identify. The service is also increasingly being used by the friends and family of LGBTQIA+ people and mainstream service providers who are seeking accurate information and referral options for their relatives, friends or clients.
