| Structure and Purpose | |||||
| At the start of each day the students meet as a homegroup. The homegroup structure provides an environment where students feel comfortable and supported. Students will receive daily information via the school bulletin during the homegroup morning sessions. The homegroup teacher provides pastoral care to students. The Homegroup Program at the Bayview Campus has a curriculum which is specific for each year level. Each year level has a fortnightly assembly. | Each day after recess, the students meet as a homegroup. In this session, students receive daily information via the school bulletin about events and announcements taking place at school and in the greater community. The homegroup environment also provides a consistent base for students to communicate with their homegroup teacher and receive pastoral care. There are regular extended assemblies where students receive information specific to their year level. | ||||
