The Wellbeing and Inclusion teams consists of two Youth Counsellors, Mental Health Practitioner and an Adolescent Health Nurse. The school also has a partnership with Headspace through the Enhancing Mental Health Support in Schools (EMHSS) initiative that students can access on Fridays.

The wellbeing team members are available for short term, individual support and also involved in the delivery of a range of wellbeing programs across the College.

Our Adolescent School Nurse, Brooke Jones, is onsite 2 days per week as a member of the Wellbeing Team. Her main focus is health promotion and health education, especially in the areas of sexual health, relationship skills, consent, LGBTIQ+.  This includes class and confidential individual sessions, as well as whole of school health promotion/awareness events and activities.

Resources are available to assist young people, parents and carers in matters concerning the general wellbeing of students.

Students, parents and carers are welcome to arrange an appointment to meet with a member of the team. Students, parents and carers are encouraged to use the email wellbeing@mc.vic.edu.au to arrange an appointment or start a conversation.

The Department of Education Student Support Services (SSS) team are also available to support the needs of students and families. Parent/carer consent is required to engage with this support team.

The Home Group Teacher/Mentor/Year Level Coordinator are also available to be contacted to discuss any concerns or support required. The Home Group Teacher is the student’s significant teacher allocated at Years 7–8. The purpose of the Home Group Teacher is to strengthen the student’s connectedness and belonging to the school and ensure a positive learning environment for the child.

The Wellbeing team have connections with a range of community organisations that can provide valuable support. If families are experiencing financial challenges impacting their ability to access resources for their child’s learning, a phone call to the Director of Student Services, for our local students and the International Student Coordinator, for our international students is a good place to start a conversation
