Pastoral Care at St Norbert College reflects our commitment to the development of students and our response to their various needs. Aims and Objectives of Pastoral Care
To promote the development of faith and community by:
- providing an environment that is safe, supportive and nurturing in order for productive teaching and learning to occur.
- encouraging all to live a life of goodness based on the life of Jesus and gospel values.
- providing opportunities for all in the community to engage in expressions of personal faith.
- ensuring that Church and Norbertine tradition (through the inspiration of St Norbert and St Augustine) forms the basis of faith development through all aspects of school life.
- developing fellowship, sense of pride, belonging, strong interpersonal relationships and acceptance of cultural differences based on Gospel principles.
- involving everyone in the development of community, including Norbertines, students, parents, past students and all staff.
The Pastoral Care Programme is based on vertical Homerooms within a House structure. Under this organisation, each Homeroom consists of approximately 25 students from Years 8-12.
There are six Homerooms in each House and it is envisaged that the Homeroom teachers will remain with the Homeroom from one year to the next. This enables the Homeroom teacher to oversee the students’ progress over the five years of secondary schooling.
The 30 Homerooms are organised into five Houses, each with an appointed Head of House who is responsible for student welfare and progress.
The Pastoral Care Team includes:
- Deputy Principal (Pastoral Care)
