Student Support
PC is well known as a family school where teachers and senior students in our houses take care of the younger ones. At the start of Year 9 we have a day out for each Year 9 class with teachers from their house and families are invited to share a meal in the evening. Within school we have a wide range of support for students who need a little bit of extra awhi:
