2025 WOLLEMI STAFF DIRECTORY

The Personalised Mentoring System is the most distinctive means used by PARED Schools to achieve their aims. Families are assigned an individual mentor. The mentor meets regularly with the student, with the student’s teacher, and with the parents. In this way, parents progress in their interviews each term. The mentoring system assists each student’s academic progress and character development. The mentor’s rapport and friendship with the student and family are fundamental to the education process.

In order for the Mentoring System to work effectively, parents are expected to attend formal parent/mentor interviews. Appointments are scheduled every term with the student’s mentor and parents. Both parents are expected to attend interviews. Apart from formal interviews, the mentor is available to talk to the parents whenever necessary.

Mentor availability times for the parent-mentor meeting each term are published on the College website. It is in the interest of parents to book the meeting each term. We suggest a meeting early in the term allows goals to be set for the term.

Parents new to Wollemi College are required to attend a special Parent Orientation on a Saturday, February 1 2025 (morning session).  There will be guest speakers and workshops to help new parents get more acquainted with the philosophy of the school.Even if you had a child enrolled in Montgrove College prior to joining Wollemi, we ask you to attend this event which is specific to Wollemi and Boys’ Education.An invitation will be sent by email closer to the date.

Key Parent Functions are scheduled in the first three terms. Term 1 KPF focuses on an information session where class teachers explain their program outline for the year and their expectations.  The first Key Parent Function in 2025 will be Thursday, 6th February 2025.   Please mark this event in your diary.

In Terms 2 and 3, there are presentations that can assist parents in the character, educational or spiritual formation of their children. Information regarding these Key Parent Functions will be distributed closer to the date. 

The expectation is that both parents attend all KPFs.

Camps are organised by the school once a year for each year group from Years 2-8.

They are held at a camp site booked by the College staff.  These camps are a great opportunity for father and son to enrich their relationship by spending quality time together, and for fathers to observe their son’s interactions with other students.  Fathers also get to know and connect with other dads in the class better and have the opportunity to enhance their parenting by exchanging ideas and listening to talks relevant to their sons’ age group.

The first father and son camps for the year are currently planned to be held on the following dates:

Class parents are appointed by the College to help foster friendship and unity and healthy engagement among the parents. They inform the class about the upcoming school activities, important news and reminders through a nominated chat platform. They also coordinate support for families when it is needed, such as in the case of illness or upheaval in the family.  Your support and cooperation with class parents is vital to the success of the school. Your son’s class parents will be in contact with you at the beginning of each academic year.

Wollemi College offers students a solid grounding in the Catholic faith as the basis for a simple and deep love of God.Students are encouraged to live their faith with a genuine spirit of freedom and commitment.The School emphasises the primary role that parents play in their children’s spiritual development.

Wollemi is open to children from all faiths.  The Chaplain of the School is a priest of Opus Dei. Mass and confession are available to all students each day. All student participates in the College’s religion program.

Sacramental programs are parish based but students receive thorough instruction in the sacraments as part of their religious education at school.

Mass is celebrated every day of the week at 10:30am by the School Chaplain.

The character development of the students is aided by the practice of virtues which are taught to students as part of the curriculum and should be reinforced at home. Students have a new “motto” every week which revolves around a key virtue. 

Parents are asked to encourage their son/s to put the particular virtue into practice at home.

IGNITE Program

The Ignite program is part of our virtues and character program at the College. The program is delivered to students in Years 5-10 on a fortnightly basis. Ignite focuses on the development of key skills around wellbeing, leadership, academics and study, practical life skills and service. 

Some families contribute to the school community by assisting in areas such as fundraising, sport, book covering, working bees and more. Opportunities are advertised in the Newsletter as they arise. The school relies heavily on parental involvement which helps in building the relationship between school and home as well as assisting the school.However, the principal involvement remains being effective parents in the home.

At Wollemi College we have four Houses, with each student being allocated to one of these houses:

Araluen Eagles (Gold)

Echuca Goanna (Blue)

Mundoora Crocs (Green)

Wyuna Sharks (Red)

In the secondary school, Houses are comprised of students from Year 7-12 and play an important role in the life of the College. Not only do boys compete in their Houses at a range of school carnivals throughout the year, the House system plays an important role in our pastoral care system. Each House is divided into smaller groups of approximately 18-20 students; together they meet four times a week (Tuesday to Friday) to develop a sense of belonging, understanding of school expectations and to discuss virtues and character. 

Academics play an essential role in the overall development of students at Wollemi.

The Primary Leadership Team and Secondary Stage Coordinators hold both academic and pastoral oversight for their respective year groups and should be the primary point of contact for specific academic concerns. They play a critical role in maintaining the academic profile of students, assisting them with elective choices, disseminating academic information relevant to their year groups, and organizing appropriate recognition and encouragement for students in their care.

Working collaboratively with mentors, house patrons, and class teachers, the Primary Leadership Team and Stage Coordinators provide a ‘security net’ to ensure all students demonstrate a positive attitude toward learning and well-being.
