A COMMUNITY THAT<br />

NURTURES AND CARES<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Cathedral</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

provides a caring, family<br />

environment where concern<br />

for the particular needs<br />

of individual students is a<br />

feature of <strong>College</strong> life. <strong>The</strong><br />

care of the students is seen<br />

as a partnership between the<br />

<strong>College</strong> and Parents.<br />

Providing an environment<br />

where students feel respected<br />

and secure is a high priority<br />

and students are encouraged<br />

to respect themselves and<br />

each other and to be sensitive<br />

to the rights and needs of<br />

fellow students and staff.<br />

In facilitating this environment,<br />

students be<strong>com</strong>e members of<br />

one of the six House groups -<br />

Glover, McAuley, Rice, Quinn,<br />

Ryan or Wallace.<br />

<strong>The</strong> House structure<br />

underpins many aspects<br />

of <strong>College</strong> life. Within each<br />

House group, students join<br />

a Pastoral Care group which<br />

contains several students<br />

from each year level. A<br />

student will belong to this<br />

group for their 5 years at the<br />

<strong>College</strong>. Students develop<br />

significant attachments to<br />

these groups as they journey<br />

through their schooling.<br />

Students identify closely<br />

with their House Dean and<br />

Pastoral Care Teacher as<br />

significant, supportive and<br />

approachable adults within<br />

the school <strong>com</strong>munity.<br />

<strong>The</strong> House structure<br />

encourages students to<br />

participate in a wide variety<br />

of interhouse academic,<br />

sporting, cultural, recreational<br />

and service activities.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>College</strong> has high<br />

expectations for student<br />

behaviour and an emphasis<br />

on traditional values such as<br />

good manners.<br />
