wellbeing

At Lyndhurst Secondary College, we pride ourselves on our proactive approach to developing a safe and supportive learning environment for all our students. We understand that students and families can face challenges at times and we are here to offer support and information on services that will assist, particularly on those issues affecting a student’s academic or social development and mental health.

Students and families have access to a range of people within Lyndhurst’s Wellbeing team, including:

  • Carley Linley – Wellbeing Officer
  • Melanie Tattersall – Adolescent Health Nurse
  • Emma Andrews – Mental Health Practitioner
  • Abby Johnston – Counsellor / Chaplin

Our Lyndhurst Wellbeing team are available to discuss and give advice on personal issues, financial difficulties (i.e. purchasing uniform, books etc.) and can provide referrals to mental health services, community support agencies and family support services.

In this rapidly changing climate, support for students and families must evolve in order to keep up with the COVID 19 Pandemic situation therefore, the Wellbeing team is continuing to review and update provider information so we can share support services that are relevant and accessible for everyone.
