Pastoral Care

Our Pastoral Care programme is based on values such as:

• Care
• Tolerance
• Compassion
• Respect for others
• Respect for the environment
• Respect for self

By helping our students to gain a better understanding of themselves and their environment, we believe they will learn to accept responsibility for their actions, as well as develop leadership skills to assist them throughout life.
Encouraging a student to believe in and to value his or her own unique abilities is one of the most important lessons of life. Our teachers encourage every student to be confident in their self-worth, to be open to new experiences, to build new friendships, to develop individual abilities and to be explore undeveloped talents.
Throughout their education, our students will be challenged and encouraged to take intellectual risks. At such times in a student’s life, the support and care from teachers as well as fellow students is always evident. A strong peer support programme is a feature of each Launceston Grammar campus.

Our teachers care for our students through positive and supportive daily interactions. A House Tutor has prime responsibility for students within their tutorial group, and liaises closely with the Head of House and Pastoral Dean to guide each student through the year. A prime focus is on building strong partnerships between the school and the families of students through regular communication. We are always happy to work with families on any academic, social or personal matters. We encourage parental involvement in many activities, which helps to create a community in which our students, parents and teachers learn and develop together.
