WELCOME TO STUDENT SUPPORT

Student support is central to Baradene College
 and the core business for our pastoral care system.

PASTORAL CARE AND GUIDANCE
Baradene College of the Sacred Heart has a strong pastoral care system which is organised by the Director Student Support and a Dean at each level in the school.

Each Dean is supported by a team of Homeroom teachers who have daily contact with the students and who monitor the progress of each individual in Homeroom class. It is hoped that each Homeroom group builds a sense of community and trust as the year progresses, both with the Homeroom teacher and with one another.

There is a Guidance Counsellor who may be consulted by students and parents for matters of a personal nature. 

THE HOMEROOM TEACHER: The Homeroom teacher provides day to day pastoral care and guidance and is the most important contact teacher for the student. The Homeroom teacher makes daily checks on attendance, uniform and general student wellbeing. The Homeroom teacher also organises longer periods of Homeroom activities and sustained silent reading in the course of the week. 

THE SACRAMENT CHAPLAIN - FATHER JOHN ALLARDYCE: The priest who assists with sacramental chaplaincy is also able to be of help to families in times of need, especially in times of grief.
