Pastoral Care
The pastoral care programme in school aims at helping our students feel secure so that they may realise their true potential.This is achieved through the supportive care given by the Class Teachers and the Year Head.They are in regular contact with their class group to create a supportive environment in the class room.The Pastoral Care Team and Chaplain complement their work by helping our students through any personal difficulties they may be encountering.They achieve this through being available with a listening ear.They also co-ordinate the different programmes and liturgies aimed at helping our students through the more challenging events in their lives.
