Pastoral Care and support

Pastoral care is not just a phrase at Guildford Grammar School. It is central to everything we do and is the foundation of all learning. For us, the social and emotional needs of each student are just as important as academic outcomes.

Our specialist teachers provide a high level of care and support, getting to know each student and their individual needs. Our class sizes allow us to spend time with your child to provide a supportive learning environment. We have a strong and supportive pastoral care model, that includes:

• Peer support
• Learning support
• Spiritual guidance
• School psychologists
• Medical and health professionals

Each child from Year 1-6 is a member of a Quarter (North, South, East and West), with many Quarter activities, sporting and cultural, taking place throughout the year.  
 

Chaplain

Within our Anglican school, our Chaplain complements our academic programs by providing spiritual guidance, leading our students towards a life of purpose.

The School Chaplain is available for individual confidential counselling. For further information contact Father Barry Moss on barry.moss@ggs.wa.edu.au or (+61 8) 9377 9245.
