Our staff

Student Services Team:

Meridan State College provides a range of student support services and access to internal and external support and wellbeing agencies.    

Your child's teacher will always be the first port of call for any challenges they may encounter.  Many students will not require any support beyond their teacher and possibly curriculum Head of Department (HOD) however we do have a number of other key staff that are ready to assist if required.
