Our approach to pastoral care is further based on our determination to provide an environment where boys are encouraged to develop as a person, as a community member, as a learner and as a contributor to society.

Pastoral Care encompasses all we do in our relationships with the students, staff and parents. It is the key factor in everything that we do - in our relating, teaching, pastoral care time and co-curricular activities.

Each boy is known well as a unique and accepted member of the Marist family
