"The State Government has launched the first phase of its strategy to improve student behaviour in Western Australia’s public schools. Education Minister Liz Constable said a $19million pastoral care package would provide all schools with access to chaplains and school psychologists. “Pastoral care is the best way of maintaining the academic, social, emotional and physical wellbeing of students,” she said. “It is also a vital part of a healthy school community and encompasses a wide variety of areas including health, social and values education, behaviour management and emotional support."
