'Such as' and 'and so on' are doing the same job, and this tautology has no redeeming features. – Edwin Ashworth Oct 10 '19 at 18:35

Doesn't the em-dash basically replace the "such as" in that sentence? – Mike Oct 10 '19 at 22:33

You could also use a colon to introduce a list. – Barmar Oct 12 '19 at 00:57

Your second version sounds much more like what a yeoman writer would write. – Robusto Oct 12 '19 at 01:17

Check this website for the correct usage of "such as"
It is better not use dash before "such as", you can use a comma if needed(Check the website above), [So you might need help from various resources, such as parents , classmates, school administrators, and so on.]
