Pastoral Care
Holiday Support and Information
As we journey through the year of 2021, Term 2 draws to an end and the school holidays begin. This is a wonderful time for our students, a time away from classes, homework and assessments. We have spent this term focusing on our relationship with God and how relationships help build a connection with our peers, teachers, and you as parents.
Schools provide a structure and connection for our students. A sense of belonging that makes us feel connected and gives them the confidence to face the challenges of each day. For many students, school holidays are exciting times, however for some, the school holidays can be a time of isolation away from this structure and from friendship groups.
Below is some information and support sites that could help over the break.
