Pastoral Care

Danebank prides itself on the pastoral care network it has established. The network ensures that staff liaise and promote the best interests of each student.

The concern for individual needs of students is shared by all staff. Occasionally, students need the help of specialists because of problems they experience. Specialists include:

  • The School Chaplain
  • The School Counsellor
  • The Careers Counsellor
  • Form Patrons, Years 7-12.
  • Class Teachers, Years K-6

Other elements of individual care are provided by:

  • Pastoral Care time is provided for secondary students. Small groups of 18 students from 8-12 meet three times a week to discuss important issues and offer each other support.
  • Year 12 students are offered additional assistance within Mentor Groups. They focus on study skills, stress management and other issues.
  • Positive reinforcement of responsible behaviour and outstanding achievement through Merit Card, Honour Badges, and House Point systems.
  • Leadership skills are developed as girls work as House Officials, Prefects, Monitors and Student Representative Council members. Other Leadership roles exist for Music and Sports activities.
  • A community service program that aims to give students opportunities to care for others.
  • Peer support training, encouraging students to be sensitive to the needs of others and to respect the needs of others.
  • Educational research indicates that girls perform best in an all-girls environment.
