The Lakes South Morang College will utilise the following information and tools to identify students in need of extra emotional, social or educational support:

The Lakes South Morang College is committed to providing a safe, secure and stimulating learning environment for all students. We understand that students reach their full potential only when they are happy, healthy and safe, and that a positive College culture, where student participation is encouraged and valued, helps to engage students and support them in their learning. Our College acknowledges that student wellbeing and student learning outcomes are closely linked. Supporting both wellbeing and engagement at the College, we boast a multi - disciplinary wellbeing team, comprising Leading Teachers, Learning Specialists, School Nurse, Mental Health Practitioner, and Youth Workers. This team is further supplemented by Departmental student support resources and external organisations (e.g. Austin CAMHS). The Lakes South Morang College is committed to providing the necessary support to ensure our students are supported intellectually, emotionally and socially. The Student Wellbeing team plays a significant role in developing and implementing strategies help identify students in need of support and enhance student wellbeing.
