School Re-engagement specialist and Trainer.
Lisa Audino brings over 20 years of experience in both primary and secondary education to the Can’t Face School team. She has held leadership roles including Assistant Principal and Acting Principal, and throughout her career, she has worked closely with families and students who are struggling to attend school or feel safe within the school environment.
Lisa specialises in student wellbeing, engagement, and re-entry, with a strong focus on trauma-informed practice, inclusive education, and behaviour support. She understands how overwhelming and isolating school avoidance can be—for both students and their families—and is deeply committed to creating calm, supportive, and practical pathways back to learning.
Her approach is grounded in compassion and evidence-based practice. She has designed and led disability inclusion programs, coordinated student support planning, and collaborated with multidisciplinary teams to re-engage students in education in ways that feel meaningful and achievable. Lisa holds a Master of Education in Leadership and International Policy from the University of Melbourne, as well as a Master’s in Behavioural Analysis—qualifications that strengthen her ability to understand the ‘why’ behind student behaviour and respond with care, clarity, and structure
Driven by a deep belief that every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and successful in their learning journey.
Lisa has presented both locally and internationally (including in Indonesia and Italy) on inclusive practices and student re-engagement strategies. Her work is driven by a deep belief that every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and successful in their learning journey.
Outside of her professional life, Lisa loves to travel and explore new places with her family. She brings that same warmth and commitment to her work with students and families, offering steady support during what can be a complex and emotional time.
Lisa is proud to be part of Can’t Face School—a meaningful next step in her journey to support young people in finding their way back to learning with dignity, hope, and confidence.
