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 />
