Therefore, there is a close relationship between behaviour and pastoral care. A school’s climate has much to do with the spiritual, moral and social development of students. Children and young people feel most secure in an ordered environment where they know what is expected of them. This implies a structure of guidelines and frameworks and an awareness in staff and students of these expectations. The aim is to lead students towards acceptance of responsibility for themselves and for others from K-12.
RESPECT FOR SELF, RESPECT FOR OTHERS AND RESPECT FOR OXLEY COLLEGE
All students and staff at ¸£ÀûƬÎçÒ¹¸£Àû have the right to be treated fairly and with dignity in an environment free from physical and verbal disruption, intimidation, harassment and discrimination.
To achieve this, ¸£ÀûƬÎçÒ¹¸£Àû maintains high standards of student behaviour. Respect for Self, Respect for Others and Respect for ¸£ÀûƬÎçÒ¹¸£Àû is also a partnership with parents working together to support all students under the College banner.
¸£ÀûƬÎçÒ¹¸£Àû aims to provide care for the whole child. This includes the social, emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual wellbeing of each individual. Wellbeing is the foundation quality of life and human flourishing. Personal achievement, emotional resilience and social competence are predicated on children feeling safe, challenged, supported and connected to others. Our pastoral care system seeks to achieve this. At Oxley, all teachers are teachers of wellbeing.
