Primary School
Pastoral Care
Fremantle Christian College has a firm commitment to pastoral care and fostering healthy relationships within the College community. We have a very active parent representative team, two College chaplains, a supportive school psychologist and most importantly a strong teacher community that is committed to ensuring that students receive the greatest care.
We recognise that parents’ involvement in their children’s education is an important ingredient in the success of their education as well as contributing to healthy family and community life.
Parent Involvement
Our families are encouraged to participate in College life through volunteering and helping in many ways, some of which are:
- assisting in the classroom
- attending busy bees
- joining the College prayer groups
- helping in the library
- helping on excursions or at other College events
Parent Representatives
Our Parent Representatives coordinate many practical aspects of College life, including:
- volunteer rosters at events
- fundraising activities
- meals and care for families experiencing difficulties
- arranging social events aimed at developing strong community relationships
Chaplains
FCC has two Chaplains who support the College in the following ways:
- coordinate school chapels and assemblies
- interact with staff members and facilitate various activities designed to promote student welfare
- engage with students in conversation and play so as to build positive relationships
- provide counsel where necessary
- help with implementing behaviour improvement and management strategies for students who need it.
WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING
“Coming to school at FCC is super fun, exciting and an enriching experience. As a stay home Mum I had some concerns about leaving my child in the care of someone else. But I could not have asked for a more warm, safe, loving and caring environment for her to grow in to become everything God created her to be.”
“My son, Flynn, attended the pre-kindy at FCC when he was 3 and it was one of the best things we did to prepare him for kindy the following year. The staff there are amazing. They have great insight when it comes to dealing with shy kids who might lack a little confidence. They showed great patience and compassion, using innovative ways to bring Flynn out of his shell. Overall, it was a beautiful atmosphere where kids were free to create, play and learn.”
“We have been blessed to be a part of FCC since our eldest son started Kindy in 2010. We now have all 3 of our children at FCC and cannot be happier about the choice for education we made. We love the Christ Centered Education and because of this the moral standard of behavior is second to none. When I speak to other parents not from the FCC Community, I’m shocked to hear some of their stories and realised just how blessed we are to be at FCC. Our children have always been encouraged to strive to their highest ability both academically and emotionally. The best thing about FCC is that they LOVE! The principal, staff and parent reps love so much! They love our children unconditionally, love each other and the whole school community! Keep up the outstanding job FCC!”
“Moving our daughter to FCC was the best decision we have made and only wish we had done it sooner. Her teacher goes above and beyond to help her students not only to achieve their best academically but in every way shape or form. Since moving our daughter to FCC this year, she has become the happy girl we greatly missed after many years of struggling at other schools. Thank you for providing her with such a positive start to a new school environment and helping her with her struggles.
Thank you.”
