WORSHIP & PASTORAL CARE
Pastoral care at Redlands College is a community-wide effort with a Christ-centred focus.
The philosophy is based on Biblical encouragement: Getting alongside students in order to understand the need, and then seeking strategies together in order to better meet the need.
Every staff member has a passion greater than their specific area of responsibility, helping each student to grow in wisdom and stature, in favour with God and man. This happens through staff in classrooms,spiritual life classes, year level assemblies and a myriad of co-curricular activities.
Wisdom and life skills are taught and experienced proactively through Religion and Ethics classes,and weekly chapel. Whole Senior school worship assemblies occur each term.
The College provides a behaviour management programme based on the Responsible Thinking Process. This is a counter-cultural approach, which calls for each person to choose and be accountable for their choices.
The Chaplain and the Women's Well Being Coordinator offer support for students in personal, family, scholastic and relationship matters. These support people have access to resources outside the College.
The goal of pastoral care is excellence in each life, empowered by faith in the truth of Jesus Christ. |
