3.3: Pastoral Care
Pastoral care for all students. Other Information:
Pastoral care is important in ensuring the personal development of each student. Over two years at college, teachers work
actively to support students’ academic, vocational and personal growth, contributing to individual pathways to success. From
2008 every ACT government high school will have a dedicated pastoral care coordinator. These teachers will coordinate whole-school
programs that take a personalised approach to supporting student well-being. They will also have a role in supporting staff
to promote and increase students’ attendance and engagement with learning, and ultimately their connection to school. There
will also be additional support from non-teacher professionals such as social workers and community nurses. These professionals
will assist families of high school students with complex needs to support their children in engaging with learning.
