Changes in a child or young person’s physical or mental health can affect their schooling and relationships.  Support is available for Mary MacKillop Catholic College students experiencing either mental health or physical health concerns.

Please let your child’s CoL (Year) or the Leader of Wellbeing know if your child has presented at or been admitted to hospital or an emergency service for any physical or mental health concern so that we can discuss further support with you. 

You or an advocate can speak with the Principal, Assistant Principal, CoL (Year), Leader of Wellbeing or School Counsellor to develop a plan together.

Ask us for help with:

• Keeping your child safe
• Returning to school following a physical or mental health incident
• Identifying school staff your child can talk to
• Developing an individual support plan to help stay connected with school during tough times.  This might include flexibility around school hours, homework or catching up with school work
• Accessing support from the school and outside agencies

We know that looking after your kids is your number one priority – and it’s ours, too.  Let’s work on it together.

Mrs Jennifer Lowe

Leader of Wellbeing
