In Term 3, the staff and students at St Paul’s have had the opportunity to review our practices and structures that occur in Pastoral Care each morning.  As always, we value our parent community and we wish to extend the opportunity for feedback around Pastoral Care time.  I have bolded the terms from our College Mission and Vision statements below to give clarity of purpose for this review.  I invite any parent/guardian to email feedback to bronwyn.shipton@lism.catholic.edu.au if you wish to contribute.

I look forward to strengthening the wonderful connections that students forge in Pastoral Care groups.

The Mission of the College

With Christ as our light, in the spirit of blessed Edmund Rice and Catherine McAuley, through education, service and compassion, we aim to bring to life God’s Kingdom on earth.

The Vision of the College

St Paul’s College is founded upon the Gospel teachings of respect, equality, justice and peace, and incorporates a pastoral care system, which exists within a Catholic environment and ethos.  We acknowledge that parents are the prime educators of their children, and recognise that we work in partnership with families to promote the development, learning and self-esteem of our students.

We actively promote the development of the whole person, recognising the worth of each student and allowing them to aim for personal excellence in a safe and supportive environment.  Students are encouraged to develop a responsible attitude and desire to learn.  We emphasise leadership, responsibility, service and the dignity of the individual.

St Paul’s College fosters the Catholic tradition of active involvement in the wider community.  We promote celebrations, which develop our sense of identity, sense of belonging and culture.  We believe that students graduating from St Paul’s will possess a strong sense of hope, resilience, sound values, generosity of spirit and an awareness of the importance of responsibility within their community and in relationships with others.
