Pastoral Care and Community

Years 5 and 6 girls at Gioia House learn about building positive, respectful relationships, age
appropriate social and emotional skills and an understanding of ethical principles and behaviours that can last far beyond the classroom.

Gioia House students participate in our signature ‘Action Girl’ program, where they learn to engage in respectful communication with peers and teachers and to be an advocate for others. In designated pastoral care sessions, students are guided by their teachers and each other to be people of action, for themselves and for others.

All students are part of their House communities, where they meet with senior students, our Santa Sisters buddy program, and participate in outdoor education activities and other College events, to strengthen their sense of community and belonging at the College.
