Care Teachers

On enrolling at the school, the student is placed in a care group. Each care group belongs to one of four House Groups – Alexandra, Pandanus, Phoenix and Royal.

Each care group has approximately 25 students in one year level only, and is under the care and supervision of a Care Teacher, also from the same House Group.

Care classes meet with the Care Teacher each day from 8.45am to 9.00am. Classes meet in a designated room or in the Multi Purpose Shelter (for Years 8, 9, 10, 11 students) or the Performing Arts Centre (Year 12), once a week for a Year Level parade.

The Care Group aims :

- to provide students with care and support within a small group of peers

- to provide students with a member of staff who has the welfare of the students as the primary responsibility

- to encourage school and house spirit

- to encourage active participation in all school activities

- to promote and enhance students’ social skills

- to facilitate administrative tasks which relate to students
