Pastoral care

At SCAS, we have a comprehensive Pastoral Care system in place to care for the needs of your child. SCAS  is a Kindergarten to Year 12 school and being on the one campus come many benefits including access to a wider choice of subjects and cocurricular activities as well as the provision of specialist teachers. We are, however, very aware of the importance of caring for the needs of each child as an individual within their Year Group. Our Pastoral Care system provides a helpful framework in which to care for the need of each individual and endeavours to meet the objectives outlined below.

The  Pastoral Care structure involves Middle School (Years 6 to 8) and Secondary School (Years 9 to 12). Within each of these schools, the Pastoral Care program is coordinated through a Tutor system based on a Year and House structure. This system enables us to provide more individual attention for your child and at the same time encourages a strong sense of community spirit.

General guidance is provided by Year Patrons and  House Tutors.

The Junior School also has Pastoral Care programs in place.
