Wellbeing

Our Pastoral Care programme is provided at each year level and is focused on meeting the evolving needs of young people. Through Restorative Practices, a commitment to Personal Responsibility and in line with the College’s ‘Our Common Ground’, we follow a coordinated approach toward daily interactions between students, staff and families. We understand that building quality relationships is crucial and creates opportunities for students to develop self-worth, confidence, resilience and responsibility.

All students are assigned to a House, where they develop a sense of belonging, and learn to celebrate healthy competition in the academic, co-curricular and cultural dimensions of school life. Each student is supported by their Home Group Teacher, as well as a staff team including a Leader of House (secondary), Leader of Pastoral Care (Primary), counsellors and careers advisor. This well structured environment allows students to deepen their sense of identity and connections with staff and peers. Tracking academic and social progress is another key function of these meaningful pastoral structures. At St Paul’s we also encourage every student to develop skills as leaders. Formal, celebrated leadership roles are attainable throughout the Primary and Middle Years, in addition to Prefect and House leadership roles offered in the Senior Years.
