Student Support

Pastoral Care and Guidance

Edgewater College cares about its students and has in place systems and processes that:

give professional advice on subjects and qualifications provide up-to-date information and assistance with employment and tertiary education choices give personal guidance and support build a safe and caring school environment

We do this through:

a strong Transition and Careers Department committed, professional Guidance Counsellors an active House system and a network of House Deans a school wide discipline programme a structured and thorough attendance procedure vertical forms where students from all class levels are together for Tutor class student-based Peer Support

Communicating with Parents

Honest and open two-way communication between parents and school is vitally important. We pride ourselves on being large enough to give a full range of opportunities but small enough to see each student as an individual.

We make regular contact via

a monthly newsletter reports Parent/teacher interview evenings House Tutors and Deans who are encouraged to contact the home when issues arise an interview with all students and their Parents/caregivers at enrolment an orientation evening for all new Year 9 (Form 3) students early in Term 1

Parents/caregivers are encouraged to contact us when they recognise a learning need or have a concern about their child's education. Education is about building skills and enthusiasm. Parents'/caregivers' support and interest is a vital part of this process.
