Student Care

Student Care is at the heart of everything we do at the College. We understand that the emotional wellbeing of students is fundamental to their academic success, and so we offer a holistic approach that develops students’ understanding of wellbeing through explicit teaching of strategies to develop growth mindsets, grit and wellbeing. These programs are supported by various external providers who visit the College to share their expertise in these areas.

We pride ourselves on having a safe and welcoming community, where all people are valued for the person they are and the contribution they make. With our Anglican ethos underpinning all of our behaviours, we aim to educate our students to be compassionate, caring and positive contributors to our community and society beyond school.

CLAN SYSTEM
Central to our ability to do this is a Clan structure, with each student at TSAC belonging to one of our four Clans: Keith, McDuff, Robertson and Sinclair. Each Clan fosters an inclusive family mentality where each person is valued and cared for.  Each Clan is overseen by a Head of Clan, who comes to know and understand each student in their care as they progress through the College.

COLLEGE PSYCHOLOGIST
The College Psychologist at The Springfield Anglican College works with students to help them flourish academically, socially, behaviourally, and emotionally. The psychologist collaborates with teachers, parents, and other professionals to create a safe, healthy and supportive learning environment that strengthens connections between home, school and the community for all students.

CHAPLAINCY
The College Chaplain plays a vital role in supporting the social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of the College community, and enhancing the efforts of other care professionals. Moreover, it serves to foster a Christian ethos, atmosphere and culture within the College. A key facet of the Chaplain’s role is to build relationships and connections with the students and staff, their families and the wider community.
