Student Care

Barker’s approach to Student Care stems from a fundamental belief that relationships are the key – the key to success in teaching and learning; the key to effective and appropriate development as an individual; the key to bringing staff and students together.

Sharing in a quality relationship with members of staff through Student Care is vital to the development of each individual student and is a primary concern of every member of staff at the school.

Barker provides a comprehensive range of services and resources to support students and their families. Student Care is provided in different ways as the needs of students develop – from the classroom teachers, Chaplains, School Counsellors, Houses, Tutors, Careers and External Programs and Learning Support Department.
