Winmalee High School has two support dogs, Benny and Harley. Benny and Harley support student wellbeing in our school.
Harley's purpose is to support students who are experiencing stress, are highly anxious or are in the Learning Hub to get additional support for learning and wellbeing needs. Benny will be in the front office area, and will provide support to the front office team, allowing students who visit the office for assistance, the option of interacting with the dog. Both dogs will de-escalate stress for students by their calming presence.
The dogs have a collar and bandanna which identifies them as members of Winmalee High School. The bandanna signifies they are at work and on duty and they are easily identified.
Each dog will be on duty for two days per week, with Benny at school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Harley on Tuesdays and Fridays.

We would like to welcome you to the Dharug and Gundungurra land on which our school resides, acknowledging that though the surrounding environment has changed over time, the spiritual connection between the land and indigenous peoples remains. We would like to thank all those who gather and respect this connection. We would also like to pay our respects to elders both past and present and extend that respect to those with indigenous heritage within our school community. (Troy Zoernleib – Vice Captain 2022)
