Primary
Pastoral Care
FCC is a Christian College passionate about nurturing Christian values in our students. We aim to create positive relationships with children making them feel safe, secure, and supported. All children are taught that they have the right to feel safe at all times, and children are treated with respect, consistency and fairness as they are supported to develop their skills and ability to self-regulate and interact with others.
Our Pastoral Care program highlights the specific values of Faith, Character and Courage while wisdom, knowledge, resilience, self-discipline, integrity and service are additional values reflected in all our programs.
Our dedicated educators are committed to ensuring that students receive the greatest care, and work in partnership with families to support each student. With College Chaplains and an active parent representative program, a range of opportunities and support structures exist to support not only the child, but their family also.
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 on excursions or at other College events
Chaplains
FCC has three 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.”
“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.”
