Pastoral Care

At the heart of our school community is a strong commitment to student wellbeing. Our Senior Management team works closely with homeroom teachers, year-level Deans, the Guidance Counsellor, Learning Support staff, and the Careers Department to ensure every student feels supported, valued, and empowered to succeed.

Through this collaborative approach, we aim to:

Celebrate and reinforce student achievement and positive behaviour.
Maintain clear, consistent expectations across all areas of school life.
Identify students who may not be reaching their full potential and provide tailored support.
Offer practical solutions for learning and behavioural challenges, including access to external agencies where appropriate.
Provide guidance and counselling for students who need additional emotional support.
Support students as they transition from school into further education, training, or employment.

Student welfare is our highest priority. Whether the need is personal, academic, or vocational, our dedicated Pastoral team and onsite Guidance Counsellor are here to help. When additional support is needed, we work closely with trusted local agencies to ensure every student has access to the care they deserve.

Peer support

We strongly value the role of student leadership and connection across year levels. Our senior students play an active role in supporting younger students, helping to build a sense of belonging and fostering a positive school culture.

This is achieved through:

Prefects acting as role models and working closely with Year 7 and 8 students.
Ongoing mentoring relationships between senior and junior students throughout the year.
Opportunities for Year 10–13 students to support younger students with reading development.
Additional coaching and academic support offered within individual departments.
Regular meetings (twice per term) with class representatives from Years 7 and 8 to discuss student voice, ideas, and concerns.
A student representative elected annually to serve on the Board of Trustees, ensuring student perspectives are heard at a governance level.
