Our pastoral care program at FCAC is centred on the safety, security and happiness of the individual child. The classroom teacher is at the heart of the pastoral care program in Junior and Middle School. Here, nurturing relationships are developed and fostered in a caring atmosphere within the classroom. In Senior School our Heads of House oversee the pastoral care of students who are a member of a House. Each House consists of individual year groups whose tutor is the day to day contact point. The College also has a fulltime Guidance Counselor and a Chaplain.
Our Outdoor Education program is an important complement in our pastoral care. The program is run by the Director of Outdoor Education and is a sequential, developmental program in which every child participates. The annual camps involving a range of activities, challenges and adventures are a consistent highlight of the student’s year.
A comprehensive student leadership program is in place. Our students are also involved in a range of service activities both locally and overseas and we pride ourselves on the service culture that has developed over the years.
