The Pastoral Care of students has always been a feature of St Mark’s Coptic Orthodox College. The word ‘pastoral’ is derived from the Latin pastor or shepherd referring to Jesus, the Good Shepherd who cares for his flock. Pastoral Care refers to the total care of the student (holistic approach) and is based upon a belief in the dignity of the person. In our school, it is expressed through:
Everyone in the College is involved in pastoral care. Pastoral care is not solely a responsibility for Roll Call teachers, Heads of House, College Fathers, or other specialist staff. Every member of staff (teaching and non-teaching) has a responsibility and is accountable for the pastoral care of students. The well-being and care of students is the core of the College’s teaching and learning program (curricular and co-curricular).
At St Mark’s College, we are committed to assisting each student to mature in every area – spiritually, intellectually, physically, socially and emotionally. We seek to establish structures and policies which will allow young people to experience “life to the full”. “Living life to the full” means the recognition and celebration of achievement and satisfaction, while also showing perseverance, resilience and the personal power required to manage difficult challenges.
