Pastoral Care
From the Pre-School through to Year 6, Pastoral Care is provided by the students own teacher with the support of specialist teachers with which they have regular classes with throughout the week.
An explicit Pastoral Care Programme is delivered to Students in Years 7 - 10 in which topics are addressed such as resilience, bullying and harassment, how to cope with stress, loss, mental illness, self esteem, confidence, self discipline, drug education and other issues of physical, emotional and social wellbeing. Students meet with their Pastoral Care teacher every day and are always available to discuss with them any issues, problems or triumphs they wish to share.
In addition to these dedicated Pastoral Care classes, further co-curricular and elective programmes which support Pastoral Care in the school include:
- Leadership programmes
- Community service programmes
- Duke of Edinburgh
- Vocational guidance for senior students
