Pastoral Care

RESTORATIVE PRACTICES

St Monica’s College has adopted Restorative Practices as the means by which Pastoral Care and Discipline will be administered in the school. Restorative Justice Practices is a whole school approach which has been developed by the Marist Youth Care group based in NSW.  As a philosophy, Restorative Justice provides schools with a framework of management that moves away from the traditional punitive response.  While still providing limits and consequences, it looks for ways to repair the damaged relationships and improve existing relationships. The Restorative School believes in the three R's - Relationships, Responsibility and Relevance.
