In the senior years, students join Pastoral Care classes within their House (Gibbs, Smith, Morris, Lane), promoting a sense of belonging and support. The House System, rooted in our four Founder’s values, further cultivates camaraderie, belonging, and pride among our students. 

 

Pastoral Care
Mind, Heart, Soul and Strength

At Coomera Anglican College, we strive to cultivate a community of kind, compassionate, and resilient individuals, laying the foundation for academic success and a fulfilling life ahead.

Health and wellbeing are fundamental pillars of our education. Through a holistic approach encompassing Mind, Heart, Soul, and Strength, we nurture character, resilience, and grit in our students. 

From fostering growth mindsets to promoting kindness and mindfulness, we aim to cultivate positive mental health, self-awareness, and emotional intelligence in every student.

Our commitment to mental health extends to providing structured social-emotional learning programs and personal development lessons for every year level.

Our dedicated College psychologists and counsellors offer intervention and support, working collaboratively with families and external service providers to ensure a supportive environment for our students.

During Year 10, 11, and 12 when our students encounter significant changes, our Personal Development Programme equips them with essential skills, knowledge, attitudes, and perspectives. This curriculum fosters the appreciation of healthy lifestyles, cultivates responsible global citizenship, and hones vital personal development skills. Topics covered include Mindfulness, Wellbeing, Study Skills, Career Planning, Sexual Health, Drug Education, Cyber Safety, and more.

In addition, through diverse leadership roles and engaging cocurricular activities, Coomera Anglican College ensures comprehensive support and readiness for students to confidently venture into the broader world.

 

Our House System

Our House System plays a pivotal role in creating a sense of belonging, camaraderie, and pride among our students. Upon enrolment, every student becomes a part of one of our four distinguished houses: Gibbs, Smith, Morris, or Lane. This system has been a longstanding tradition at Coomera Anglican College and is deeply ingrained in our educational philosophy.

 

Our Houses are named in honour of our Four Founding Fathers, each representing a unique set of values and qualities.

  • GIBBS named after Mr Ivan Gibbs, represents Mind and Vision
  • SMITH named after Mr Ian Smith, represents Heart and Determination
  • MORRIS named after Mr Richard Morris, represents Soul and Mastery
  • LANE named after Mr Rod Lane, represents Strength and Perseverance

 

These Founding Fathers' principles inspire and guide our students as they strive for excellence in various facets of their lives.
