Pastoral Care at Rostrevor College
refers to action taken within our school to promote and foster personal, social, physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual wellbeing. Optimal wellbeing is characterised by positive feelings and attitude,
positive relationships with others, resilience and satisfaction with self and experiences and engagement
in learning.
While the principles underpinning 'Pastoral Care' at Rostrevor College are founded
on the importance of developing meaningful and sustainable relationships between students as well as between
students and staff, one of the aspects of the Pastoral Care program is the access to guest presenters.
During Extended Pastoral Care On Friday of Week 3, while the Year 12's were on SWOTVAC and the 7's where
preparing for the 3-day Outdoor Adventure Activities Program, students in Years 8-11 were engaged in the
following presentations (table below);

I would like to thank all students for
the manner in which they welcomed our guest presenters and the respectful way they engaged in the seminars.
The following are examples of the impact the RAP Presentation had on some of our Year 11's;
Listening to Yudhi's story made me reflect on how much I take for granted and how easy it is to lose the
things you love because of one simple incident that could have been avoided - Aidan Byrne 11PW
Gurr
I learnt that making responsible decisions could mean saving the life of yourself
and others. It also made me seriously think about driving while drinking. It has encouraged me to never
drive with any amount of alcohol in my blood - Daniele Galloni 11RM Murphy
The RAP program made me seriously think about how I act on the road as a driver, passenger and pedestrian
and how these actions impact people I know or don't; directly or indirectly. Listening to Yudhi's story
made me reflect on how big of an impact a single incident can have on someone's life and we need to all
be responsible when on the roads and worry about more lives than just our own Jack Myers 1MD Gurr

and emotional scars suffered as a result of being 'T-boned' by an inattentive driver.

Somehow, as if in the blink of an eye we
are about to enter our fifth week of Co-Curricular fixtures for Term 4. For some teams, this week will
be the last fixture for 2018 while the rest are now faced with the prospect of only two remaining matches
for the year. Despite the rapid rate at which this term has progressed, there have been many outcomes
that signal positive growth for the Co-Curricular Program whilst also highlighting some obvious areas
to address.
I made no secret of my dissatisfaction with a number of students and teams in relation
to poor attendance and a laissez faire approach to punctually to trainings and fixtures. Since reiterating
the basic expectations of the Co-Curricular Program the response from students has been mostly very positive.
The main aim of this slight change in culture is to create an atmosphere where respect and consideration
are at the forefront of the thought and decision making processes of all students under our guidance.
To display high levels of respect in as many interactions as possible will then hopefully pave the way
for other individuals to respect our students at Rostrevor College in the exact same way.

Onto other matters now, our hugely successful
First XI Cricket side have advanced to the Grand Final of the T20 Messenger Bowl after a convincing Semi-Final
win over a very strong Westminster side. They now face St Peter's College this Friday afternoon, and we
are very hopeful they can make it back to the Twilight Fair with huge smiles across their faces. Whatever
the result, I'm sure they will represent the College with pride and give a very solid account of themselves
in the process. Best of luck to these gentlemen, and to all Co-Curricular teams over the coming weekend.

| Whilst the Australian summer is in the grip
of Cricket fever, getting under way at Rostrevor College Big Memorial Oval, the sentimentalists are gathering

for the College Foundation as well as fundraising.
The event will be held in the beautiful surroundings
of Rostrevor College. The T20 Cricket game will capture the great sporting culture of the College
by getting our community and old scholars involved.
We hope you get behind the Foundation
and begin 2019 with a SIXER!

from each table you will nominate
2 players to participate in the T20 from 1pm to 4pm
