Background & Context

Located in southeast Victoria, Bayside Christian College is a tight-knit community with 600 students and 120 staff. Achilles Gabon transitioned from a high-stress telecommunications career to the school’s ICT management, bringing fresh perspectives and a passion for guiding students through their digital journeys. Despite the stark contrast between managing Australia’s national network and a school’s IT system, Achilles embraces the unique challenges with a heart for guiding students through their digital journeys.

"Student wellbeing is very private. Some kids don't even understand why they feel the way they are feeling. We wanted to move away from just guessing and actually do something based on real data."
