Pastoral Care is the concern of students, teachers and families living out the Gospel message John 3:14 "Love One Another". Our school motto is "To Love is to Serve". The interaction of students, teachers and families articulates the relevance of our Faith beliefs and is an active signal as we work towards creating tomorrows adults.

Pastoral Care embraces the total care of the students based upon the belief that the dignity of the person is expressed through:

• the development of quality relationships
• the provision of well matched learning opportunities
• the establishment of an effective care network

Our attitudes toward discipline are based in forgiveness. The greatest learning we do is through opportunities to learn through experience and reconciliation.

"It takes effort to look at misbehaviour as an opportunity to teach!" Katz 1996

All aspects of discipline at Sacred Heart Kooringal will have, as its prime motive, the good of the child and will be administered with Christian love, separating the deed from the doer.

A set of procedures is in place for serious offences should they be necessary.
