Pastoral care
Deans and Tutor Teachers
Deans play an important role in the pastoral care and administration of students in a Year Level assigned to their care. Deans are assisted by the tutor teachers, who have responsibility for a vertical tutor group, comprised of students from all Year Levels.
Uniform
Marist College recognises the school uniform as an important part of developing pride in the school. Uniform is expected to be clean and tidy and worn correctly at all times.
