With our focus on thriving and community well-being, Columba is investing more time and resource into pastoral care.

This year, Columba is trialing a new Pastoral Care Network. The foundation of our pastoral care and first "port of call" remains students' form teacher (years 7-13) and classroom teacher (years 0-6).  Changes made include having one dean in each or years 7 to13 and a registered nurse on site on Tuesday mornings. Additionally, our Senior Management Team now includes an Assistant Principal dedicated to overseeing our Pastoral Care Network.
