In Blessington Community College we facilitate the development of all members of our school community. In our school community we foster relationships based on respect. We nurture a sense of belonging to our school community where each individual is valued and her/his uniqueness is recognised. We promote a school community that is caring and positive. This work will be carried out in an environment that is both safe and secure for all in our school community. We believe Pastoral Care is the responsibility of the entire school community. Pastoral Care should permeate all areas of school life.
Pastoral Care is an integral part of our work in Blessington Community College and as such it needs a formal structure to ensure its effectiveness in our school community on a day-by-day basis and particularly at critical times.
Goals of Pastoral Care in Blessington Community College
That each member of the school community will
