Pastoral Care permeates all areas of school life. In Oatlands College we facilitate the development of all members of our school community. In our school community we foster relationships based on respect. We engender a sense of belonging to our school community where each individual is valued and his uniqueness is recognised. We promote a school community that is caring and positive. This work will be carried out in an environment that is both safe and secure for all in our school community. We believe Pastoral Care is the responsibility of the entire school community. This Pastoral Care system has the 5 elements of the Edmund Rice Charter at its core.
