Pastoral Care Group

The St. Columba’s Pastoral Care Group has been running for over 6 years and aims to provide caring support within our school community. It provides confidential, appropriate and timely assistance for families in their time of need.


The Pastoral Care Group is able to provide:

1. Meal support to those in need. This will be achieved by providing fresh meals as required, made by volunteers within the school community.

2. Pick-ups/drop offs to and from school.

3. Canteen vouchers can be arranged to ease the burden of lunches, as well as frozen sandwiches, cakes and yoghurt.


This Christian example will allow our students to witness their parents serving and supporting others in our community.


The Pastoral Care Group has two points of contact:

1. School Office 6436 9500 admin@stcolumbassp.wa.edu.au

(Amy Venturini or Andrea Creek)

2. Jenny Collins (Year 4 parent) 0418 944 835 jennycollins3@gmail.com


Class Reps usually seek contact with the Pastoral Care Group when a need is identified.

A list is held of volunteers who are willing to assist with this confidential service.

When needed, volunteers are contacted by Jenny.


CALLING FOR VOLUNTEERS!

If you would like to volunteer to cook a meal or two throughout the year please contact Jenny or the School Office.

Your assistance would be much appreciated!
