STUDENT SUPPORT & PASTORAL CARE

Our student support network aims to help each student develop her talents while at the College. Our aim is for all classes to have high-quality learning and teaching.

The student support network is designed to provide every student with a:

• Form Teacher who gives the day-to-day pastoral care and guidance and is the most important contact person for the student.
• Dean at each year level who has a special interest in counselling, discipline and curriculum guidance.

Another three key people work in the areas of student support. They are the:

• Guidance Counsellor who is available to work with individual students and their families. She provides links with community agencies that can give specialised support.
• Careers Advisor who ensures that each student has made sound preparations for further study and career choices.
• Transition Coordinator who organises and teaches courses within the school and oversees work placements and
  courses with outside providers.

A Peer Support programme provides small groups of Year 9 students with Year 13 leaders whom they meet throughout the year. This helps Year 9 students make a successful transition into the College community and gain an understanding of the College spirit.

Student support is provided for students who have particular needs in:

Academic support
Study skills and organisation
Motivation

The student support network aims to help students take responsibility for their own choices and direction while at school and in the future.
