Wellbeing

We aim for all students to be healthy, safe and happy.

We do this by creating a caring, respectful and inclusive environment in which each student is inspired to achieve their best.

At times students may need extra support for their mental health and wellbeing. This may be due to a wide range of issues - from exam stress and friendship concerns, issues at home or in the community, through to mental health disorders. 

Our Wellbeing Team can provide professional and confidential support to individual students and their families. This includes individual counselling for wellbeing, group programs and workshops, as well as referral to a wide range of services. For mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, students can be referred to internal or external services to get the help they need. 

The Wellbeing Office is located in the Macleod College Performing Arts Centre opposite the Library. Students are advised to make an appointment if possible (email Claudia to arrange), but are always welcome to drop in. Our wellbeing space is warm and welcoming, offering students a place where they can discuss any issues which are of concern. 

Parents/Carers can contact the Wellbeing Team for a confidential discussion: 

Call Macleod College Reception on 9459 0222 and ask for Wellbeing or email nil@macleod.vic.edu.au (Claudia Nicolin).
