Why not become a Pastoral Care Parent?

 

                                                                    

 

For the last couple of years, the College has been fortunate enough to have a number of parents take on the role of Pastoral Care Parents.  Pastoral Care Parents have the opportunity to organise social events for their relevant year level, acknowledge and celebrate special happenings for families of a year level, and  invite people to provide meals and offer assistance to families experiencing difficulties.

 

In 2019, we are looking for an individual and/or group of parents to act as Pastoral Care Parent/s for each year level from Years 7 to 12.  In some instances, two parents of a year level have joined forces and/or connected with another year level to arrange events or provide assistance.  This works well within the different schools: Francis (yrs 7 and 8); Clare (yrs 9 and 10) and Elizabeth Hayes (yrs 11 and 12).

Here is a description of what this role would entail:

  • Promoting and organising off-site social events for the parents of a year level;
  • Acknowledging special moments for families in the year level, such as the birth of a new baby;
  • Coordinating meals or assistance for a family due to illness or other difficult circumstances (after the College has made initial contact with the family);   and
  • Developing a network of parents who can work together to positively support their daughters’ journey through secondary school.

If you would like to be considered as a Pastoral Care Parent for a year level, we would love to hear from you.  No former experience is necessary!  The role is not meant to be taxing, and promises to be a lot of fun when you meet with other parents and find out about life at Mount Alvernia.

 

Further information that will help you with your role as a Pastoral Care Parent will be provided to all interested parties. 

 

RSVP:  Please forward your name, contact details, and preferred year level to mta@mta.qld.edu.au by Monday 11 March should you be interested in taking on the role of Pastoral Care Parent.
