The Pastoral Care Program at St Luke’s Anglican School is at the core of the holistic education we so proudly deliver. It is, in essence, a framework of support to students both collectively and, importantly, as individuals. It provides students with classroom and one-on-one attentiveness in the monitoring and development of their self-esteem, social skills, mental health and performance in education.
Once a student enters the Middle and Senior School and their teachers begin to change from class-to-class, Pastoral Care becomes a specific class of its own three times a week, with a dedicated Pastoral Care teacher. These classes are always intentionally kept to small numbers - usually between 10 to 18 students. Pastoral Care classes in the Middle and Senior Schools are structured along House lines, ie. Browning, Hoog, Morris and Noble, and in year level groups. In other words, there is a Year 7 Browning Pastoral Care class, a Year 7 Hoog Pastoral Care class, and so on.
Pastoral Care teachers of all year levels are motivated and driven to get to know each student of their class on a personal level. This allows for our Pastoral Care teachers to really understand the students in their care. They learn about their student’s goals, aspirations and achievements, as well as their setbacks and challenges. Pastoral Care teachers are also often the first point of contact for parents. A reliable, trustworthy and familiar means of communication between parents and teachers can become well established through the Pastoral Care system.
Another feature of Pastoral Care at St Luke’s is the Personal Development Programs undertaken by all year levels from P-12. It is the goal of these programs to foster the social and emotional development of our students, assisting them to develop to their full potential. These Personal Development Programs are delivered by the classroom teachers and Pastoral Care teachers, and cover a range of diverse topics including developing resilience, cyber safety, habits of the mind and keys to success, study strategies, sustainability initiatives, drug and alcohol awareness, public affairs, social responsibility and global citizenship - all according to the age and development of students as they grow from Prep to Year 12.
There are four School Houses at St Luke's Anglican School, with students allocated their house upon enrolment and remaining in that house for the duration of their schooling. School Houses provide community, care and comradeship in the formation of long-term relationships.
Pastoral Care teachers of St Luke's are a vital part of the House system, and each House is overseen by a House Coordinator. School Houses also include an elected Senior School student House Captain, two elected Middle School student House Leaders, and two elected Primary School student House Leaders.
