Pastoral & Leadership

Pastoral care and personal development is a significant focus, embedded in everything we do in our daily life throughout the School.

Although one of our fundamental responsibilities is to develop the intellectual abilities of our students, this alone is not enough. The formation of character must occur alongside academic development.  

The learning environment provides an atmosphere where each student can:

  • Strive for personal best in their academic learnings, co-curricular activities, and social and emotional development
  • Achieve balanced personal growth through participation in a range of activities
  • Feel supported, included and valued as individuals
  • Take well-considered risks and raise expectations of themselves
  • Develop resilience in the face of challenges
  • Actively enrich our community through learning, culture and service

As part of the enrolments process, all parents are to complete a medical form detailing the student’s medical history. Please ensure this form is up –to-date at all times. The use of medication is strictly controlled by staff. If your child requires medication, please provide the medication along with the dosage instructions to the Front Office, Pre-Prep Centre or Prep Centre.
