The pastoral dimension is an integral part of the whole curriculum in Tandragee Junior High School. It is a continuous process involving all teachers and active participation by all pupils. We are conscious that many pupils coming to this school may be from relatively small Primary Schools and may be worried by the move to a very much larger school, and also that a child’s needs extend far beyond his/her ‘academic’ needs. We aim to help pupils: - feel a sense of worth and dignity
- experience success and achievement
- develop their talents to the full
- assume a responsibility towards themselves and others.
The pastoral care of our pupils means responding to their needs at a period of their young lives when they are growing physically maturing emotionally and acquiring a wide range of knowledge and skills. The delivery of the programme is through both a general and specialised focus and is co-ordinated by a Pastoral team, led by the Vice Principal.
