Pastoral Care
Effective education depends upon cooperation and trust. The College promotes a climate in which there is mutual respect and acceptance between staff and students.
 
 

In the Junior School (Years 5 and 6), pastoral care is centred on the class and the class teacher, supported by the Junior School Pastoral Care Coordinator.

In the Secondary School (Years 7 – 12), pastoral care is centred on the homeroom, the homeroom teacher, the Year Master and the Pastoral Care Coordinator.

Student Management Procedures seek to develop a school climate which promotes a high degree of self-discipline and self-respect within students.

The Student Management Procedures aim to:

  • Establish systems where appropriate behaviour is affirmed and positive contributions to the school community are rewarded and, where necessary, appropriate sanctions are applied when behaviour is inappropriate or unacceptable.
  • Develop a system which monitors students behaviour in an accurate and recorded way, allowing the staff to exercise their responsibility.
  • Maintain the improvement in discipline and student behaviour by educating parents, students and staff in the thinking and procedures underlying College discipline and by regularly evaluating it.

Promoting self-discipline and

self-respect within students

The College clearly defines and defends its justifiable expectations in terms of grooming, travel, application to learning, involvement, courtesy, conduct and progress. A system of merits, demerits and levels operate.

To complement the pastoral responsibilities of the teaching staff, the College has two full time Counsellors to support boys and their families.

Mandatory involvement in camps, retreats, work experience as well as peer support, student leadership and other activities provide excellent avenues for other pastoral care initiatives.
