Pastoral care
We take our duty of care seriously. Our pastoral care approach is designed to make sure every boy feels safe and supported, and develops a sense of belonging to the College community .
The Housemaster should be the first person you contact if you have any problems or concerns. Each boy is assigned to the particular care of a staff member who will act as a mentor, support him with goal planning, and monitor his progress. In addition, College has a comprehensive counselling and support service, with several people – including the Chaplain, our two College counsellors, and the Careers Advisor, International Student Manager, nurses, and matrons – in our guidance network. The Student Wellbeing page on Schoolbox, run by the Student Wellbeing Committee with the support of the Health & Wellbeing team, is a self-help initiative that provides links to practical ideas and resources designed to help students in need and to raise awareness of the importance of good mental health. It is well worth a look. At College, we take a firm stand on bullying or harassment and do not tolerate abusive behaviour. We encourage students to report any instances of bullying or harassment, either by talking to a trusted member of staff or by using the anonymous notification on stymie.co.nz. We will respect your confidentiality, and undertake to investigate and resolve such issues in a satisfactory and timely manner.
Centre for Wellbeing We believe the best education focuses not only on academic achievement, but also on the development of character strengths and wellbeing. The Centre for Wellbeing brings positive psychology and best teaching practice together to promote good relationships, foster resilience, and encourage positive lifestyle choices.
