PASTORAL CARE

Specialist Support for International Students

English Language Support Centre

Our On Campus English Language Support Centre is available to all International Students and has a 1:5 teacher student ratio.  Our dedicated teaching staff ensure each student is supported and guided in their English language acquisition and help to accelerate their learning.

Student Advocate

At Toorak College, we understand the challenges our International students may face.  A dedicated Student Advocate is part of our Health and Wellbeing Program for international boarding students.  The Student Advocate speaks your daughter’s native language so communication is easy.

Tutorial

Every morning begins with a tutorial where every student is seen by their classmates and teacher.  It is a time to set priorities for the day and ensure each student starts with a positive mindset and a purpose for what is to be achieved, enabling their own self-confidence and self-sufficiency to develop.

Health Services

Next to our boarding house, Joan Ansett Hall, is Toorak College’s Health and Wellbeing Centre.  Our trained nurses take care of any medical needs our students have and quality doctors and hospitals are only a few minutes away from our campus should the need arise.

Wellbeing

Our curriculum offers students a deep understanding of themes surrounding health and wellbeing, ensuring our students are equipped with a range of strategies and are informed of the risks and responsibilities, which are taught by qualified teachers in this specialised subject area.

Boarding Staff

The staff at our boarding house, Joan Ansett Hall, are enthusiastic, caring and committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for your daughter.  We know each of the students well and form respectful and open relationships with each girl and their parents.  Next to Joan Ansett Hall is Toorak College’s Health and Wellbeing Centre.
