Pastoral Care
Encourage every student to be confident in their self-worth.
Pastoral Care
The students of Prendiville Catholic College aspire to live as Shepherds of Christ. This involves an understanding of how to bring the values of the Gospel to life in our everyday actions and to support each other in our community to do this. To promote a safe, respectful, happy and inclusive College climate, Prendiville students have identified behaviours and actions they expect from all at the College.
The Prendiville Way
Students at Prendiville Catholic College have worked collaboratively in student voice forums to identify how they want to feel while at school. Students believe it is important to feel safe, respected, happy and included.
We believe that encouraging our students to value his or her own unique abilities is one of the most important lessons of life. Our teachers encourage every student to be confident in their self-worth, to be open to new experiences, to build new friendships, to develop individual abilities and to explore undeveloped talents.
Upon entering our College, each child is placed into one of eight Houses. Within each House, students are placed into Year Group Homerooms (HR) and are cared for by Homeroom Teacher (HT). Homeroom Teachers develop a strong connection with students and is the first point of contact for parents. Each Year group is led by a Head of Year that is responsible for the pastoral care of students with a focus of addressing the developmental needs of the year group and it creating a strong year group identity.
Each House has a House Leader who has responsibility for encouraging participation in House events, creating House spirit and a sense of belonging.
Students remain in the same Homeroom for the duration of their time at the College, and generally have the same Homeroom Teacher, to ensure a yearly continuity.
The Prendiville Centre houses the Health Centre and the offices of the Head of Years.
The contacts for the Head of Years can be found on the contact page.
