From the Pastoral Care & Wellbeing Coordinator
The undoubted focus of our past week relating to Pastoral Care and Wellbeing has been on student transition from Year 11 into Year 12. This commenced on Tuesday with a presentation by Elevate Education which addressed organisation, study skills and time management for the HSC. Wednesday morning saw the cohort participate in their Retreat. The group was separated into two groups and travelled to The Marist Retreat Centre at Mittagong or the Katoomba Christian Conference Centre at Katoomba.
The Retreat program allowed all students to engage with their Pastoral Class colleagues and teachers in a range of activities that provided them with the opportunity for them to stop and reflect, refocus, and set individual and group goals for the upcoming year. A huge thanks to all staff and students for their organisation, supervision, collegiality, and enthusiasm over the past few days.
