Each year level of students has two Deans assigned who are responsible for the academic and pastoral care of all students at their year level. Wherever possible, both Deans will lead their Year 9 cohort for five years, staying with their students as their progress from Year 9 to Year 13.
The Deans work very closely with Mentor Teachers, the Wellbeing Team and the Head of each Learning Area. Please find below the Deans for each year level and their contact information.
