Pastoral Care
There will also be a strong pastoral care and restorative environment operating throughout the school.
Collectively, we strive to develop the whole child within a positive and caring environment, where each child is affirmed and supported with Christian love.
We believe in fostering and modelling attitudes and values which will encourage students to make positive behaviour choices that are respectful and morally and socially acceptable. We value relationships, take responsibility for our behaviour, reflect on our actions and practise forgiveness and grace through restorative practices.
Everyone in the school community has a responsibility to foster quality interpersonal relationships amongst teachers, students, parents, support staff, priests and parish communities. St George College will endeavour to provide high-quality interpersonal relationships of care and support. Each member of the College community is both a provider and recipient of pastoral care.
Facilities
The College will be purposefully planned with agile learning classrooms and adequate indoor/outdoor play areas suitable for a city-based landscape. Students will also have access to The Learning Resource Centre.
Due to our Greek community partnership the College will have access to some of Brisbane’s best facilities including The Australian Hellenic Sports Centre (TAHSC) and The Greek Club. Other facilities such as Musgrave Park, Musgrave Park Swim Centre and nearby sporting fields will also be utilised.
Due to our proximity to Brisbane’s cultural heart, it is our intention that students will benefit from excursions to the Queensland Museum of Art, Gallery of Modern Art, Queensland Museum, Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Queensland Conservatorium and South Bank Parklands.
