Pastoral Care

Our Pastoral Care team at Emmanuel work with students to support them on their journey to becoming people of good character.

Our House Mentor group structure provides the foundation for this by providing a safe and supportive environment, a sense of inclusion and the guidance that will enable each individual to achieve their potential. Central to this task is the need to encourage students to identify their academic, social, personal and spiritual needs and to be provided with strategies for achieving them.

Students have the opportunity to engage in a range of programs on topics such as respectful relationships, positive masculinity and positive drugs and alcohol education, building self-esteem, road safety and leadership development.

Each year, through our student Community Council, students embrace the opportunity to participate in Appreciation Day, Harmony Week, Bullying No Way, R U OK? Day, Men’s Health Week, International Women’s Day and Queensland Mental Health Week.

Our Pastoral Care program is designed to protect the rights of every individual child and to ensure somebody is always looking out for the needs of each child; emotional, academic, personal, relational and so on. This includes a College-wide commitment to meeting the full requirements of the law in regards to child protection. Emmanuel College has strong policies over all areas of child protection, abuse, at-risk children, bullying and harassment. Copies of these policies are accessible to current families in the resources section on Schoolbox. 

At Emmanuel College, we strongly believe that "no student has the right to make another student feel unsafe, or hinder them from doing their work." We are passionate about this and  we do as much as we can to ensure that we protect these rights.
