Pastoral Care is an important element supporting the holistic education
provided at Peter Moyes Anglican Community School. It is concerned with the
overall well being of each child, helping to ensure they feel safe, secure and
valued.
The strong emphasis on pastoral care at Peter Moyes ACS is evident in many of
our activities and is both explicit and implicit in the planning and
implementation of programmes within the school. The care offered each
individual is such that, in turn, students may come to regard others as also
worthy of the same care. This provides each student with the opportunity to
grow and to fulfil his or her full potential.
In the Primary School, the classroom teacher is responsible for most
instruction, and for the nurture and care of each student. The Head of Primary
School and specialist teachers support the Classroom teachers in their role.
In the Middle School, year structure provides opportunities
for a range of teacher and student interactions to provide feedback and
support.
The Heads of Sub Schools, Heads of House, Heads of Year (7 to 9), teachers within teams and the
chaplain work together to ensure the welfare and educational needs of students
are met.
In the Senior School, the house structure provides opportunities for a range of teacher and student interactions to provide feedback and support.
The Heads of Sub Schools, Heads of House, Heads of Year (7 to 9), Heads of Department, teachers, tutors and the chaplain work together to ensure the welfare and educational needs of students are met.
Students are encouraged to develop increasing personal responsibility
throughout their school life and decision-making and leadership roles are given
to students at all levels, with an emphasis on the role of young adults in the
Senior School.
The School encourages a partnership between home and school. Parents are
encouraged to contact Heads of House, class teachers or tutors when they
believe it is necessary. Meetings are arranged, at which parents may meet staff
members, discuss curriculum matters, and develop close positive relationships
between the family and the School. |
