Community at Servite

Student wellbeing is at the centre of who we are as a College

At Servite, we are a thriving community where the core relationship between wellness and learning is valued.

Recognised for our high-quality wellbeing programs, we help students build the foundations for future physical, mental and social health. Integrating wellbeing science and ground-breaking positive education research within our school, we assist each student to realise their full potential. Through an understanding of modern social and emotional learning, our students are provided with opportunities to grow into responsible, independent and resilient young people.

We deliver:

• Integrated wellness programs
• Effective whole-of-school approaches to pastoral care
• Age-appropriate behavioural education and skilling of students
• Environments that promote healthy lifestyles and optimum learning
• Safe and supportive learning environments backed by policies and procedures
• Reward structures that recognise, acknowledge and celebrate community achievements

Every day at Servite starts with a focus on belonging

At Servite, we are a welcoming community where hospitality, inclusion and diversity are valued.

A strong sense of belonging to our College helps develop students who are happier and more successful learners. Motivation, effort and positive attitudes increase through feelings of connectedness. Being connected is also about students and families knowing they can seek support when they need it, that they will be listened to, and that, as a community, we can work together to help.

We provide:

• Accessible support services
• Tailored pastoral care responsive to individual student needs
• Pastoral organisational structure, including Homerooms and Priories
• An environment that is inclusive and empowering, where diversity is respected and valued
• Effective care networks within the College, through external agencies and the wider community
• Public programs exploring contemporary social issues for families and the community
• Strong school-family connections

Featured Resource: Individualised care for each student

Every day at Servite starts with a focus on belonging. Each student has a key teacher who is responsible for their sense of community connection. Through daily student contact, feedback from class teachers and communication with families, Homeroom Teachers coordinate a wider network of staff to support individual student well-being.

We build life-affirming relationships that recognise and support the inherent dignity of each person.

At Servite, we are a gracious community where respect for all members is valued.

Healthy relationships enhance wellness and learning performance. Our culture and curriculum support students in building successful relationships at school and with their families, friends, parishes and the wider community. Our approach to student management instils attitudes and behaviours that enable fulfilling learning, family, work and life journeys.

We provide:

• Formation in self-discipline and responsibility
• A school community based on kindness and forgiveness where relationships are restorative
• An environment of trust and respect where interactions and learning are positive and vibrant
• Commitment to Justice and Service where those experiencing difficulty receive extra support
• Pastoral management of student behaviour through processes focused on both individual and community wellbeing
