The GROWTH Booklets are the primary way students experience the GROWTH Pastoral Care Program.
They are not standalone resources or individual products. The booklets are the delivery tool that brings the six-year pastoral care curriculum to life in classrooms, mentor groups, and homerooms.
Each student receives a purpose-designed booklet that supports discussion, reflection, and meaningful engagement across the year.
The GROWTH Pastoral Care Program provides the curriculum.
The GROWTH Booklets are how that curriculum is delivered to students — and they are intentionally 100% print-based.
The most effective pastoral care happens when students slow down, write, reflect, and talk with others. Removing screens reduces distraction and creates space for deeper thinking, stronger conversation, and genuine connection.
Research consistently shows that handwriting supports deeper learning, reflection, and retention. Writing by hand activates more areas of the brain than typing and encourages students to engage more thoughtfully with complex ideas.
Print-based delivery also simplifies implementation for schools. There are no platforms to manage, no logins to troubleshoot, and no digital barriers that interrupt learning. By using print-based booklets, GROWTH supports this evidence while also creating a calmer, more focused learning environment.
Together, they ensure pastoral care is consistent, structured, and meaningful across every year level from Year 7 to Year 12.
GROWTH is designed as a complete and consistent pastoral care curriculum. In some school contexts, alignment with existing language, values, or structures is important.
Where appropriate, GROWTH can be thoughtfully adapted to reflect a school’s context, while preserving the integrity of the program’s scope, sequencing, and lesson design.
This may include:
Any customisation is done collaboratively and intentionally, ensuring the program remains cohesive, evidence-informed, and easy to deliver.
Each GROWTH booklet is carefully structured to support consistent, high-quality pastoral care.
Across the year, students engage with:
Lessons follow a consistent structure across year levels. This familiarity supports confidence and engagement while allowing content to remain age-appropriate and developmentally relevant.
The GROWTH Booklets are designed to reduce teacher workload, not add to it.
They:
Teachers are able to prioritise relationships and discussion, knowing the lesson design and student materials are already in place.
