Pastoral Care & Wellbeing Coordinator

      Across all year groups, there have been many wonderful initiatives taking place to support the pastoral care and wellbeing of our students. From peer mentoring and leadership opportunities, to targeted wellbeing workshops and engaging pastoral programs, students are being provided with the tools to grow socially, emotionally and spiritually. Our staff continue to work in partnership with families to foster a supportive environment where every student feels known, valued and cared for. We are proud of the positive culture being built across the College and look forward to the continued development of our wellbeing initiatives.

      BULLYING NO WAY WEEK; 11-15 August

      Proudly supporting Bullying No Way: National Week of Action

      This year, Mount Carmel Catholic College will be participating in the Bullying No Way: National Week of Action, 11 to 15 August 2025.

      Bullying No Way Week is a commitment being made by thousands of schools and supporters across the country. It provides an opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to bullying prevention. It gives us an opportunity to connect with students, staff and school communities to implement workable solutions to prevent bullying.

      The theme for this year's campaign is Be Bold. Be Kind. Speak Up.

      It takes a community to be brave and address bullying behaviours, within and beyond the school gate.

      Students can be bold, kind and speak up to support others being bullied. While trusted adults are there to support children and young people learn how to be kind to each other and report bullying.

      This Bullying No Way Week, we’re asking you to be bold and speak out, be kind and support someone, and be proud to stand up against bullying.

      Students are asked to wear a small PURPLE accessory (eg: a ribbon attached to their uniform, hair tie or ribbon, wrist band or ribbon in the theme colour, on Wednesday 13 August to show their support for standing up against bullying.

      For more information about Bullying No Way Week and bullying prevention, visit the Bullying No Way website.
