The school has teamed up with the Marong Medical Practice, who will attend the campus on a regular basis. 

Services will include medical appointments, secondary consults, mental health plans, assessments, referrals and the ability to increase knowledge and expertise around health delivery. 

Marist College wellbeing leader Jan Nelson said the collaboration would be highly beneficial for students and educators alike.   

"Through having the support from Marong Medical Practice we are able to offer assessments that are able to identify mental health issues and also co-ordinate pathways for students so that they are able to access appropriate services," Ms Nelson said. 

"Through this service we are able to offer students additional confidential support in a setting that they are comfortable with."

Ms Nelson said many children experienced social and emotional challenges at home and school.

"If these are unrecognised they can cause significant problems in later life," Ms Nelson said.  

"To be able to be assessed in a supportive environment in the school is of great benefit and has shown positive results in other schools.

"Marong Medical Practice are delighted to be involved with Marist College - working collaboratively to provide best practice services to student and educators within our community."

Marong Medical Practice manager Ann Costello said the partnership was a positive for the community and would grow stronger with time. 

"We thought it was a good opportunity for our practice to get involved in the community of Marong and Maiden Gully. We saw it as something we could offer," she said. 

Ms Costello said young people faced many emotional and social issues and needed support. 

"We want youth to know that they don't have to do it alone, that there's help out there for them," she said. 

"We want to offer advice and if they have concerns and to help them out."
