Pastoral Care is based on respect and dignity of the human person.
Pastoral Care grounds the school’s Mission Statement in the quality of our daily relationships. The ways in which people interact with each other in the daily life of the school significantly affects each person’s sense of wellbeing, identity and self-worth. Everyone in the school community has a responsibility to foster quality interpersonal relationships amongst teachers, students, parents, support staff, priests and parish communities.
St Joseph’s Primary School endeavours to provide to all, the experience of high-quality interpersonal relationships of care and support. Thus each member is both a provider and recipient of Pastoral Care.
Other programs in place that support Pastoral Care in our school are:
- School Psychologist
- Peer Support
- Buddies
- Kinder Orientation Playgroup
- Seasons for Growth
- Rock and Water program
