College tutors
Residential tutors
St Ann's has ten residential tutors, each in charge of a corridor consisting of approximately 18 students. The tutors provide academic and social leadership, and pastoral care. They conduct academic monitoring of students in their corridor twice a year together with the Principal.
Each year a Senior Tutor is appointed - usually a tutor from the previous year who has re-applied for tutorship. They coordinate the Tutor group, and take a leadership role in the absence of the Principal.[3]
Academic tutors
Each year senior students are selected into various academic positions for the purpose of tutoring lower year levels in any difficulty they are having.[4]
