Health and Wellbeing

Yarrawonga P-12 College has made a significant investment in wellbeing supports for our students for the coming years.

We have a range of mental health support as well as physical health support options.

Our Doctors in Secondary Schools program currently runs fortnightly on Thursdays between 9:30am-2:30pm. These appointments are bulk billed for students in Years 7-12 and can be booked through the school. The contact for this program is Amy Webber.

Our Community Workshop program also continues to run, enabling students to have a creative outlet for engagement within school working with mentors from our community. Michelle Klowss facilitates this program as well as engaging in a number of other community supports for our families.

We continue to run our Big Breakfast Program on the senior campus, enabling students to not only get a great breakfast, but an opportunity to connect with staff and their peers.
