School counselling staff are members of the Wyndham College Well-being team.
A teacher may recommend the service by referring a student to the school’s Well-being team. As a parent or carer, you may refer your child directly to the school counselling service. Students can also self-refer to the service.
School counselling is confidential. For more information about learning and support teams and the school counselling service, visit: Disability, learning and support – roles and responsibilities.
