Community
We belong, and are cared for in Community. At Servite we believe best practice pastoral care supports each student’s wellbeing for life.
Our students thrive in an environment where they feel a sense of belonging to a school community that actively cultivates respectful and supportive relationships among students, teachers, parents and the wider community.
Our programs, values and expectations support the emotional, social and physical safety of our students. Within this supportive environment, our community members are encouraged to grow their individual gifts to become whole persons with the capacity to make a difference.
At Servite we facilitate the Pastoral Care of all members of our school community through promoting wellness in a positive learning environment. We engender a sense of belonging and connectedness to our school community where each individual is valued and we foster the building of relationships based on respect and kindness. Our policies, practices and resources around behavioural support and change focus on the whole student, including personal, spiritual, social, emotional and academic dimensions.
Community Attributes
In striving towards our vision we focus on developing important character strengths through the integration of six key attributes: Joy and Zest; Perseverance and Resilience; Self-Regulation; Leadership and Teamwork.
Our vision for Community is grouped into three dimensions: Growing Wellness; Belonging and Connecting; and Building Relationships. These dimensions drive our planning and describe the core elements of Community at Servite.
