Our students’ educational and personal welfare is an essential part of our strong campus culture. Through the expertise of dedicated staff and the safeguards of our pastoral care system, we seek to ensure that Grimwade House consistently offers a nurturing space where all students feel welcomed and supported.
Ongoing, open communication
We encourage regular, open communication between home and school to address potential issues before they present difficulties. Classroom teachers are the first point of contact for students and parents if welfare concerns do arise.
Our senior teaching staff, Chaplain and psychologist are all available to provide additional support whenever necessary, as is the Head of Grimwade House, Royce Helm.
“I want Grimwade House to be a place where people feel welcome and included—a place where people are highly passionate about what they do for everyone who walks through the gate, including our parents and teachers. Supporting teachers and students to be the best they can be is part of this, but so is making sure parents want to be involved with what we do here.”—Royce Helm, Head of Grimwade House. Read more.
Professional support for students and their families
In addition to the Chaplain, registered psychologists are available at each Melbourne Grammar campus to provide professional support and guidance to students and their parents. Each of our psychologists has experience managing educational challenges, and has extensive knowledge of issues that can have an impact on student progress.
