Welcome to the 2025 School Year: A Focus on Pastoral Care

At the heart of every thriving Catholic school is a strong foundation of pastoral care – a commitment to nurturing the spiritual, emotional and personal well-being of each student.  

At St Ursula’s we believe that academic care and pastoral care are inextricably linked. Our students are not just learners; they are individuals with unique talents, aspirations and challenges. Through our pastoral care program, we strive to provide a safe and supportive environment where every student feels valued, empowered and encouraged to grow.  

So, what does Pastoral Care look like at St Ursula’s and why is it essential to your daughter’s journey?  

• Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment
• Positive Psychology
• Fostering Emotional Resilience  
• Encouraging Personal Growth  
• Building Positive Relationships
• Supporting Mental Health and Wellbeing

Through these pillars of Pastoral Care, we aim to create a school culture where students feel supported in both their academic and personal journeys.  

Our Pastoral Care Program for 2025 is outlined below. We encourage you to speak with your daughter about the topics she will explore this year as part of her pastoral care experience.  

We look forward to working together as a school community to ensure a positive and enriching year for all our students.
