PASTORAL CARE

Pastoral care within the College aims to provide the students with a sense of belonging, an understanding and awareness of themselves, respect for their community and an opportunity to become active participants in their development.

As a community, the College is committed to teaching and modelling the values which characterise a Christian community and through the Pastoral Care Programme works towards providing a community where students feel fulfilled, valued and happy.

The College is organized around three Houses - Fitzroy, McCormack and Penola. Each House has approximately 170 students from Year 8 to Year 12. Seven House Groups make up each House and are the primary pastoral groups for the students. Students stay in the same House Groups with the same House Teacher and House Co-ordinator (where possible) for their five years at Corpus Christi College.

Students are offered friendship, peer support and opportunities in all aspects of school life - academic, social, physical and spiritual - through the House system. In tutor classes students also have the opportunity to participate in a Life Skills Programme tailored to their needs at each Year level. The programme encompasses human development.
