Student Care & Wellness
Knowing each student, noticing change and responding with care.
Pastoral care is the network of relationships and processes that helps students feel safe, understood and able to participate in school life. In a residential school, it connects teachers, dormitory staff, house leaders, counsellors, health staff, school leadership and parents.
Who Supports a Student
Every child is surrounded by a coordinated circle of trusted adults working together across dormitories, classrooms, wellness facilities and home.
Dormitory In-charge / Residential Staff
The dormitory in-charge and residential staff are on-site every day, ensuring a safe, structured, and emotionally supportive living environment for all students.
Student Care Network
At St. Peter's, the student is positioned at the center of all support systems. Communication flows seamlessly between dormitories, houses, mentors, medical, and families, with continuous escalation pathways to school leadership.
