Academic Care Framework
Our Academic Care Framework guides the delivery of quality teaching and learning at the College. It recognises the deep connection between wellbeing, personal growth and academic success, and demonstrates our approach to educating the whole person.
Academic Care at St Patrick’s:
- Acknowledges the strong link between pastoral care, academic progress and student wellbeing in the development of the whole person
- Aims to develop a positive learning environment in which all staff assume responsibility for the overall welfare of the students in their care
- Looks to enhance student learning and well-being where learning and teaching is authentic and is a partnership between teachers and students
- Values relationships between students and teachers that are authentic and which facilitate supportive connections and learning experiences
- Works to assist students to develop positive self-esteem and feelings of well-being through the College’s academic and pastoral structures
