OUR PASTORAL NETWORK

The basis of the School’s pastoral care system is the Kaitiaki who works as part of a team with the form level Dean.

“We know how every boy is doing and respond accordingly”.

Should boys require any help in personal, academic and vocational matters, they can talk to their Kaitiaki, Dean or to one of our Counsellors. The Counsellors work closely with the Deans of the various year levels in overseeing the general welfare of the students. Parents who have concerns about their sons should contact the appropriate Dean or one of the Counsellors.

The Counsellors have a wide range of contacts with health professionals and outside support agencies to whom they can refer boys when appropriate.

Coaches, managers of teams and club co-ordinators also play an important role in the pastoral network.

PEER SUPPORT

New Year 9 pupils are introduced to and welcomed into the School through an active and interesting Term 1 programme run by Year 13 pupil volunteers. These senior students are trained to provide guidance and support for the newcomers during the period of adjustment to their new environment.

INTERVIEWS

Interviews can be arranged with Kaitiaki and Deans when parents are concerned about any matter affecting the work of their son. Parents may contact the appropriate Dean for an appointment.
