Pastoral Care, Guidance and Discipline
Pastoral care, guidance and discipline are important parts of our school organisation. The School operates Houses and Vertical Forms and provides strong support for students through Form Teachers, House Leaders, Guidance Counsellors and the numerous programmes, events and strategies put in place.
Pastoral care from 2010 onwards
The new Pastoral Care centre will be open from the start of 2010 and students will attend the centre if they have any enquiries or concerns. The reason for this change is to give another level of support to students as they progress through the school and allows deans to focus on class groups as well as individuals. Once in their 2010 house group students will stay in that house for the remainder of their time at Mt Roskill Grammar School.
Each house has a Dean and an Associate Dean to oversee the wellbeing of students. Form classes from 2009 have been allocated to new houses (see below).
Deans and colours for the new houses are:
After gathering student input the process for choosing house names will be completed by the end of Term 1, 2010.

From the start of the year students will be placed into house groups through their core class groups.
