SUPPORTING STUDENT & FAMILY WELLBEING

Our wellbeing and pastoral care services play an important role in supporting both students and families across our school community.

For students accessing chaplaincy support, the most common areas of need relate to friendships and peer relationships, bullying and harassment, and support around school behaviour.

Families also access chaplaincy support for a range of reasons, most commonly around family challenges, concerns for their child, and mental health and wellbeing.

We value creating a safe, caring and connected environment where students and families feel supported, heard and encouraged.

Pastoral Care Workers provide pastoral and practical support to:

by listening, taking an interest in them, being involved with their daily lives, facilitating activities and seminars and being a positive role model.

by being a supporting resource, providing a listening ear, encouragement, friendship and supporting their personal wellbeing.

by being a person of contact, listening, caring, providing support in times of crisis as well as being a referral to support services.

by being a link between churches, the wider community and the school community.
