Pastoral Team
Each year group in the College has a Pastoral Team of staff, lead by the Deputy Principal — Pastoral Care, whose focus is to support the physical and emotional wellbeing of students. For non-academic queries or concerns, these staff members are the best people to contact initially.
Head of Year
The Head of Year is responsible for overseeing the pastoral care of an entire student cohort. They work in partnership with students, parents, and staff to address any pastoral concerns that may arise. The Head of Year collaborates closely with Homeroom Teachers to ensure each student’s individual needs are supported, while also guiding them to meet the expectations of a student at Bunbury Catholic College. Wherever possible, the Head of Year remains with the same group of students from Year 7 through to graduation, providing consistency and ongoing support.
Homeroom Teacher
The Homeroom Teacher meets with students each morning to check in, provide support, and help them prepare for the day ahead. Homeroom is an integral part of our Pastoral Program, and it is important that students are present and engaged.
During Homeroom, students take part in daily prayer, receive important notices, and ensure they are organised with the resources they need for each subject. Additionally, the Homeroom Teacher leads the Pastoral Care Period on Wednesday mornings, where students develop skills to support them throughout high school. These sessions cover topics such as social and emotional wellbeing, personal organisation, and goal setting.
