Supporting Our Students

"At Thomas More College we have a number of policies and strategies which support student welfare and learning"


Our strategies and practices to promote positive student behaviour and to maintain a climate of respect include:

  • Promote practice which develops the self-esteem of young people.
  • Support all members of the College community in their respective roles as parents, students and staff.
  • Develop a community which is characterised by respect for the individual, and the group.
  • Promote a learning environment within which the individual and the group feel valued and safe physically and socially.
  • Develop in young people a sense of responsibility for their way of life and a desire to become more fully alive to their potential as those created in the image of God.
  • Develop within the student an ability to identify the impact of their behaviours on others and to identify those attitudes which promote caring behaviours. (SACCS 4.1.1)
