Our School > Student Life > Personal Development

St Margaret's is proud of its strong tradition of pastoral care for students. In essence, pastoral care is the school's expression of concern for the welfare of each student. This concern encompasses academic, spiritual, personal and co-curricular areas. New students are warmly welcomed by staff and present pupils and usually settle in quickly to school life.

Form Teachers
Form teachers are responsible for the day to day care of the form class and provide a stable, caring contact for the same group of students throughout the school year

Year Level Supervisors
Each year group from Year 8 to Year 12 is in the care of a Year Level Supervisor who monitors the academic progress and level of pastoral care required for students. Year Level Supervisors are the first point of contact for any pastoral concern

Support
Students are also supported by the School Chaplains, Careers Counsellor and School Counsellor who offer a range of services including personal, spiritual and emotional support, tertiary study and career guidance, and time management advice

Behaviour Management
The Head of the Primary School and the Head of the Secondary School are responsible for the welfare of each and every student in the School.  They work with teachers and support staff to ensure that each student feels safe, happy and ready to learn within the School community.

Inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour is not tolerated at St Margaret's. Both students and staff have the right not to be harassed or humiliated by inappropriate behaviour.
