Subject Description

Pastoral Care promotes and enhances the personal, social, mental and spiritual wellbeing of young people which is a central focus of our Catholic identity.

Not only do confident, resilient young people with a capacity for emotional intelligence perform better academically, these skills can also contribute to the creation of strong social bonds and supportive communities, and the maintenance of healthy relationships and responsible lifestyles.

Our Senior School Pastoral Care program utilises the Positive Psychology wellbeing PERMA+ framework which is depicted through our SHINE+ motto; Success, Helping, Involved, Name, Emotions, ‘+’ (knowing your God, Sleep, Exercise).

Students learn and grow these skills over their senior years through the THRIVE online program, with lessons in growth mindsets, building intrinsic motivation, getting gritty and healthy habit formation to continue building resilience and flourishing in a changing world.
