Pastoral Care at CMCB

We nurture our students in a safe environment to become confident and independent young adults. We acknowledge that all students grow and develop differently, therefore our structures and programs support students’ academic as well as social and emotional learning.

Mercy Homegroup connects every student and their family with a specific teacher, providing a consistent point of contact and daily support. By fostering strong relationships and clear communication, we aim to create a connected and caring environment that promotes wellbeing and engagement for all.

All students’ classroom teachers actively monitor and support their learning and wellbeing. Classroom teachers work in collaboration with students and families to develop an understanding of their learning.

Individual support for students is also provided by Year Level Coordinators, Year Level Learning Leaders and the Learning Diversity leader to ensure that appropriate resources and specialised expertise are available to students who need additional support.
