Student Experience Coordinator
Our Student Experience Coordinator, Laura Swift, will be an important point of contact for you during your time with us, especially in your first week at Monash College - Orientation week.
You will have the opportunity to make new friends through participating in introductory sessions within your Diploma, and by involving yourself in sporting and Melbourne based orientation activities.
Throughout your time at Monash College, you will be able to involve yourself in a range of activities, based on your interests, and you will also have the chance to develop your leadership skills. We offer a Mentor Program which recognizes the importance of students learning from each other.
Laura is also responsible for monitoring the progress of all Under 18 students and will help you understand our requirements in the areas of accommodation and welfare.
Finally, the Student Experience Coordinator will encourage you to challenge and enjoy yourself, ensuring you make the most of your College experiences.
If you have any questions or just want to have a chat, please contact Laura by emailing laura.swift@monashcollege.mcpl.edu.au.
Counselling
Student life can be both exciting and at times prove challenging. You may find this new environment and culture to be very different, and it may also be difficult leaving family and friends behind. For many students, English may be a second language, which adds another component to successful study in a post school environment.
Monash College can understand much of this experience and provides a Counsellor who is able to assist you to manage:
- Moving to a new College and adjusting to a new culture
- Academic Progress Issues, including motivation and struggling to complete tasks
- Relationship problems
- Personal concerns
- Pressures associated with study
- Family problems
- Grief and Loss
Our Counsellor and Psychologist, Freddy Peredo, works at Monash College 2 days a week and counselling is free and confidential to all Monash College students.
You can either self refer by emailing Freddy at Freddy.peredo@mcpl.edu.au, or speak with a Learning Consultant who can arrange an appointment for you.
