St Philip’s Christian College Gosford
Prospectus
As whole of life educators, we value the emotional,
social and spiritual development of children and want
to partner with parents in raising resilient, respectful,
and compassionate young men and women. In order to
achieve this there is a strong and deliberate emphasis
placed on Pastoral Care.
A Kindergarten to Year 12 Pastoral Care program has
been established in order to support each student,
centred on a Positive Psychology model. The emphasis
is on developing and nurturing character traits that will
serve them well for when they leave school. Such traits
include honesty, integrity, respect and humility.
To help the student navigate their way through their
time at school they are supported by their classroom
teachers, their Core teachers (Middle School), Pastoral
Care Teachers (Senior School), School Counsellors and
the School Chaplain. We desire for our students to
realise their passion and purpose in life. We believe this
can only be achieved in a caring and supportive Christian
environment where the students are valued and feel
connected within an inclusive school community.
The SPCC Positive Psychology Model is designed to target
and enhance the wellbeing of our students in many areas
including social, spiritual, academic and physical.
