What’s special about Savio Salesian College?

“Young people not only need to be loved, they need to know that they are loved.”

This is one of Don Bosco’s, founder in 1859 of the congregation of Salesian Priests and Brothers, most important statements about working with young people.

St John Bosco has a special place in the life of the Catholic Church, not only as a saint but also as a visionary educator. He sought to bring the love of God to young people, many poor and without work or education, so that they would know that they were valued and rich in potential. This he did though practical action taking the homeless into his own house and through the provision of accommodation, the teaching of trades, schooling, and academic education for the more able. His motivation was not just to make them ‘honest citizens’ able to earn their own living; he was driven by a passion to save souls, to educate young people in their Christian faith and to challenge them to holiness as exemplified by his student St , the name adopted by Savio Salesian College.

Student Transition

The Student Transition Team understands the issues that students face when they reach key points here at Savio Salesian College.

Their work ensures that new Year 7 students are fully aware about what is expected of them as, most importantly, they know to whom they should go to if they have a problem that needs to be solved or some friendly and experienced advice on what they should do whenever they are unsure.

Moving from one year to the next has to be as seamless as possible so that students feel confident about themselves and then reach their full academic potential. Each Head of Year, “We aim to make along with their team of form tutors, are always your transition as on hand to support students when needed and seemless as also to celebrate their successes as they go possible” through the year.
