The open afternoon is scheduled from 2-4pm.
The Open Day will showcase Marden Senior College now and in the past. Visitors will be invited to walk around the college, view current lessons and student work on display as well as a showcase of information and artefacts from the past.

· Personal counselling
· Career and pathway counselling
· Health support issues
· Problem solving and decision making

Subject Teachers
Teachers can provide students with expert guidance relating to subject specific issues as well as negotiating around assessment requirements should the need arise. They should be the first port of call for a student experiencing some difficulty with a subject matter.
Pastoral Care Worker
The Pastoral Care Worker’s (Chaplain’s) role is one of providing support and encouragement to the school community. Employed by local churches, the Chaplain has a particular interest in the spiritual and emotional life of the school. As a staff member, but not a teacher, the Chaplain provides another means for members of the school community to gain support in these vital aspects of their lives. The Chaplain also plays a role in supporting teachers in school events and excursions, facilitating student activities and providing input in the teaching of ethical and personal development topics.
Mentors
All students under twenty one years of age are provided with a mentor by the college after enrolment. Mentor support may also be offered to other students who need additional support throughout the year. The mentor is a support person a student can speak with about issues relating to study or other matters of a personal nature. The mentor can personally advise the student or support the student to access other services within the college and beyond.
Tutorial Centre
The Tutorial Centre is available to students who want to access additional learning support – or simply for individual study purposes. Teachers are also available one to one to provide specific subject support at various times of the week. Students can make a booking to see particular teachers at particular times by using the booking system available in the Tutorial Centre.
The Tutorial Centre operates during the day from 8.30 am and is located in the Library.
Apprenticeship Broker
The district Apprenticeship Broker is able to provide support for students who want to include a traineeship or apprenticeship in their SACE program. The Apprenticeship broker is required to be involved in the organization of any School Based Apprenticeship. They may also periodically provide information about vacancies and employment opportunities available in the local area. To access this service you will need to speak to the Student Counsellors who can arrange an appointment for you.
SACE Co-ordinator
The SACE Co-ordinator supports students in all matters relating to SACE completion including:
· SACE pattern requirements
· Special Provisions in Assessment
· Assessment policies and protocols around deadlines or breaches of rules
· Exam management
