ARTICLE: Viewing Student Pastoral Notes

Understanding and tracking pastoral information for students is a vital element of building historical data, and developing pastoral care.  Pastoral data can be viewed and reported in many ways, so as to mold individual student outcomes or to create systems for your schools Pastoral programs.

When an individual Pastoral note is created, the visibility access will be set to either Confidential, Sensitive or Staff view.
Based on accessibility settings and the permissions set to each staff account, you may not have access to view Pastoral notes for some or all students.
Medical, Medications and Wellbeing note categories can also be selected for viewing in Current Pastoral Reports, Pastoral Overview, Pastoral History, Boarder Summary, and Pastoral Reports screens for users who have visibility access.
