WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.360 --> 00:00:05.720 In the Senior School, students are in vertical mentor groups. 2 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.760 What that means is that within each mentor group 3 00:00:08.760 --> 00:00:11.760 there are students from Year 9 all the way through to Year 12. 4 00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.600 The advantage of this is that there are older students 5 00:00:14.600 --> 00:00:17.600 who make great role models for the younger ones as they move through. 6 00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:21.560 One of our major goals for all of the boys at the School is for them 7 00:00:21.560 --> 00:00:25.800 to find an area of passion and with the breadth of opportunities on offer 8 00:00:25.880 --> 00:00:28.880 the boys have so many chances to do so. 9 00:00:29.400 --> 00:00:32.400 Pastoral care is central to everything we do in Senior School. 10 00:00:32.480 --> 00:00:35.160 For students to learn, participate, engage. 11 00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:37.680 they need to feel safe and that they belong. 12 00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:40.600 Mental health and wellbeing is vital for this. 13 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:41.440 Hutchins provides 14 00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:45.960 something for every individual student, whether it be dance, sports or academics. 15 00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.720 We hope that every student finds a group where they feel they belong and 16 00:00:49.720 --> 00:00:50.520 can contribute. 17 00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:53.880 The reason I like 18 00:00:53.880 --> 00:00:58.000 being here is because of the students and families that I’ve got to know 19 00:00:58.240 --> 00:01:01.240 over the last 25 years. 20 00:01:01.440 --> 00:01:04.280 As a former student of the School, I’m really proud 21 00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.200 to be involved in the Hutchins community. 22 00:01:06.200 --> 00:01:09.880 It’s a community which starts whilst you’re at school and continues 23 00:01:09.880 --> 00:01:12.280 right throughout your adult life as well.
