Pastoral care at St Kevin's College is based on Gospel values and students are encouraged to have respect for themselves, respect for others and respect for their surroundings. The idea of a school family is a fundamental feature of the College with the overall objective being to foster each student's sense of well -being and to nurture their self-esteem as they develop emotionally, socially, intellectually and spiritually.

Our pastoral system is based on our House based Tutor Groups. Students are grouped vertically so that they feel a sense of family and so the younger students have the support of older students All Tutor Groups write a Charter at the beginning of the school year and work together on structured activities. The tutor teachers monitor the academic progress of students, encourage participation in co curricular activities and monitor their social well-being.

Our Year Level Deans have the overall responsibility for the pastoral care of students and are the first point of call for parents. Every fortnight class teachers fill in the Fortnightly Reports for all students in their classes; the Dean collates these and keeps in touch with the parents. Letters of commendation and concern are posted out to parents. The Deans also run regular year level assemblies to ensure that students work together as a larger group.

Clear boundaries for behaviour are outlined to students and they are educated to realise that there are firm consequences if our standards are not met.

“Supportive, respectful and caring relationships are strengths of the school.”
