GENERAL INFORMATION
Languages
All students will study a foreign language in Year 7 unless they receive extra English or
Mathematics support. Students may choose from Chinese and French. The study of a
language extends across the whole of Year 7. In Year 8 and beyond, students may elect to
continue studying one or more languages as part of the Discovery Learning program.
Learning Enrichment
Guildford Grammar School is committed to assisting students with special educational needs
and learning difficulties to be successful members of our community and learn within our
curriculum. All issues of special needs and general information on learning enrichment at
Guildford Grammar School should be directed to Mrs Ullisa Macdougall-Hull, Head of Learning
Enrichment at [email protected] or 9377 8503.
The Pastoral System
Every student in the Senior School is a member of a House. There are eight Houses, with
approximately 90 students in each. A Head of House is in charge of a House and he or she
stands in loco parentis while your child is at school. The House system fosters community
responsibility, camaraderie and independence and offers opportunities for leadership.
Mentors assist each Head of House, overseeing a particular year group. The Head of House
and Mentors assume responsibility for the monitoring of ongoing academic progress, personal
development and general welfare of your child during their time at the School. The Mentor is
also the administrative advisor to the group and, through the school diary, email and/or
personal contact, acts as the initial link between parents and the School.
