Student Wellbeing


The Student Wellbeing Co-ordinators at Lilydale High School are Robert Webb and Jane Robbins.  Kate Fisher, Shannen Bayley and Candice Richards are also part of the Wellbeing team.

Student resilience and wellbeing are essential for both academic and social development, and are optimised by safe, supportive and respectful learning environments.

The role of our Student Wellbeing Co-ordinators can be summarised as:

  • Being available to help students, parents, carers and teachers

The majority of the Wellbeing Co-ordinator’s time is spent with students on a one-to-one basis.

Responsibilities of the Student Wellbeing Co-ordinator’s include:

  • Organising support groups for students needing help
  • Assisting individual students with work plans, personal problems
  • Negotiating extra help for students falling behind in their work
  • Reconciling differences of opinion between individuals and between groups
