Relationships
Forging Positive Relationships
The All Saints’ experience is founded on an understanding of the importance of ‘looking out from ourselves’ to ‘make a positive difference in the world’. To enable and empower our students in this vision, we provide a multitude of opportunities for our students to build relationships within and across year groups, and to make connections of care within our broad community as well as in the wider community.
Positive relationships are central to the All Saints’ philosophy, from our Early Learning Centre to senior years. This culture is built on the College’s values of Empathy, Respect, Integrity, Courage (ERIC) and The Leader in Me framework, helping students develop self-awareness and build positive relationships with peers, staff and broader communities.
Relationships are nurtured early in Pre-Kindergarten through a dynamic partnership between parents, students and staff. Students are encouraged to reach out and form wider relationships across year levels and with staff.
At the start of each year, our ‘Meet the Teacher’ evenings in the Junior School lay the foundation for positive family relationships. We also schedule one-to-one meetings to get to know each child and family, supported by ongoing dialogue throughout the year and student learning visibility via SeeSaw.
The House system at All Saints’ fosters belonging and responsibility to a wider group across the whole College. Students build strong relationships in their Tutor Group and wider relationships are forged through various leadership and service opportunities curated by Catalyst, the College’s Centre for Service and Social Enterprise.
