Pastoral Care

Our pastoral care program for Term 1 focused on the theme of belonging. As we start a new year it has its challenges for every individual whether it be a new student, year 12 student, staff member, and parents. Belonging makes us feel connected and give us the confidence to face the challenges of each day. It is important that we are known, care and valued. During homeroom and pastoral lessons, staff focused a number of activities on the importance of knowing and looking after everyone in our community. National Action Day against bullying was also a major focused. Understanding what bullying is, the effects of this on individuals, how to get support, and the importance of the role of a bystander in helping those that need support. 

During Term 2, we continue to develop the theme of Belonging by focusing on our relationships with each other. Understanding the role that relationships play in our lives and allows our children to build on their connection with their peers, teachers, and you as parents.

Our support for mental health continues to be a focus each term and we work closely with our local community. Headspace has offered a free online session for parents on mental health. The date for the online session is the Wednesday 26 May, 12 - 1pm.
