Pastoral Care            

At the core of what we do at Saint Stephen’s College is our focus on the personal wellbeing and individual success of the children in our care. Through the building of genuine relationships between students, staff and parents, we aim to create an environment where all members of the College community feel and know they are connected and respected. It is this positive connection with their classroom and school environment that in turn enhances their willingness to take positive risks and meet the challenges of their day.

Our approach to pastoral care is multi-faceted due to our focus to ensure the wellbeing of all in our community. Class and tutor groups, year levels, programmes and College Houses all combine to support and nurture the spirit of the individuals and our College community. Within dedicated Pastoral Care lessons and reinforced in such activities as assemblies, students engage in activities and discussions aimed at highlighting and strengthening the skills and knowledge that they require for their success and wellbeing.

Most importantly it is the implicit and incidental pastoral care moments upon which we pride ourselves. It is putting our words into action in the everyday situations that reinforces to our community that we are real in our commitment to have the personal wellbeing and individual success of your children at the core of what we do.
