Pastoral Care Team

The main focus of the Pastoral Care Team is the support of students or, occasionally, staff who are identified to be struggling with College life. The problems students experience are too numerous to summarise but include health, family, financial and personal problems. Students are assigned to individual members of the PCT. The support person meets with their assigned student on a regular basis. 

This can include home visits, peer mentoring, parent or outside agency conferences. All identified boys are closely monitored by somebody on the PCT in the strictest confidence.

Any referrals to the PCT can be made through the relevant Head of Year (HOY).

Grooming

The SPC Respect Code states that we expect all boys to have pride in themselves, their grooming and their dress.

At enrolment, and in all communication, parents and students are informed of the expectations for wearing the College Uniform and personal grooming. All students are expected to leave home and return home in the correct uniform, worn correctly:

  • Hair must be a student’s natural colour
  • Hair must not be below the collar, longer hair can be dangerous in practical classes and students will have to tie hair up if requested.
  • Hair must be tied back if eyes and face are not visible
  • Extreme hairstyles are not permitted. These include, but are not limited to, dreadlocks, mohawks, shaved lines or any such styles that are studied efforts to draw attention to the student.
  •  All students must be clean shaven

Guidance Counsellor
GUIDANCE COUNSELLING FOR SPC STUDENTS

Kia ora.

Sue Maloney is the full time Guidance Counsellor at St Peter’s College.

St Peter’s College offers a confidential counselling service that is available to all students, staff and parents.

For most students at SPC, their time through school incorporates the journey from childhood into young adulthood; not easy.  Through that and added to that of course are academic expectations, life’s adversities, confusions and complications. Counselling support can help ease the rougher segments of this journey; helping to navigate these often difficult and unknown waters.

The value of being listened to and of being understood is immense. Counselling support can foster conditions whereby we can continue to develop as caring, contributing and responsible people. In counselling, there exists an awareness of and respect for difference; action can be taken for those who are disempowered or disadvantaged. Through the counselling conversation, we are supported to make sense of certain difficulties and concerns, and to develop further our existing capacities and resourcefulness.

Counselling sessions can be arranged by walk-in, email or phone call.

You can contact Mrs Maloney on [email protected] or on 09 524 8108 ext. 7391.   No question or concern is too small or irrelevant.
