Pastoral Care

The physical, emotional, and social well-being of our school community is of paramount importance. This is reflected in our development and implementation of effective pastoral care networks and systems, underpinning our commitment to Restorative Practice.

 

We set high standard of behaviour and conduct and provide the support and care to help our young people to achieve them. Our aim is to educate students toward self-directed appropriate behaviours that promote, nurture, and protect healthy relationships between all members of our community.

 

Restorative Practice

Restorative Practice is an approach that builds and maintains positive, respectful relationships and attitudes that align with our core values of courtesy, commitment, curiosity, and courage.

Through this practice, the focus is on repairing harm done to relationships and people, over and above the need for assigning blame and dispensing punishment for misconduct or a conflict. The Restorative approach enables students to:

 

  • develop a better understanding of, and empathy for, others

  • appreciate the consequences of their actions toward others

  • be accountable for their actions

  • make amends where their actions have harmed others

Deans & Tutors

Our House system fosters a strong sense of belonging and support across all year levels. Each House is led by two Deans who provide academic guidance, pastoral care, and a consistent point of contact for caregivers.

Within each House, students are placed into one of approximately 14 tutor groups, which meet daily with a dedicated tutor teacher who remains with them from Year 9 to Year 13. These regular sessions reinforce expectations, support wellbeing, and foster trusted relationships over time.
