Grounding in Self and Community

Welcome to Year 7 GROWTH Pastoral Care Program: Grounding in Self and Community


Starting high school is an exciting and significant milestone. Year 7 is all about helping students transition smoothly, building meaningful relationships, and discovering their strengths within a supportive community. This program explores topics designed to help students feel grounded, confident, and connected to those around them. Each lesson is crafted to support personal growth, develop social skills, and encourage positive contributions to the school community.

Across the year, students will:

  • Learn to navigate new school environments with confidence and resilience.
  • Understand their own values and how these shape decision-making.
  • Build respectful relationships and develop empathy for others.
  • Set personal goals and explore passions that motivate and inspire them.
  • Reflect on their role within their school and the wider community.

With interactive activities, guided discussions, and opportunities for reflection, the Year 7 program lays the foundation for a positive and purposeful secondary school journey.
