The Pastoral Care System at Mater Dei College

The College is mindful of its responsibility to care for the individual student's welfare and development.  In 2003 a vertical pastoral care system was introduced to offer further opportunities for our students to develop leadership skills in peer sharing.  The vertical pastoral care system consists of small multi-age homerooms as part of the existing College house system.  

At the Year Level At each Year level a Year Coordinator  is appointed.  This person has responsibility for Coordination of all activities within the Year Level and for the overall welfare of students within the Year. Click below for information about - the current Year Coordinators

At the Homeroom level The person charged with the responsibility for monitoring an individual student's progress and development is the Homeroom Teacher.  In the Vertical system students from each Year Level are placed in one of 40 homerooms - ten within each of Mater Dei's four Houses.  Familles are placed together in the same homeroom groups, and it is envisaged that homeroom teachers remain with the homeroom group from one year to the next, enabling the homeroom teacher to oversee the students' progress over the five years of secondary schooling.   Click below for information about - the house system at Mater Dei
