The role of the Dean is central to the pastoral system at Te Awamutu College.
Deans are often the first point of contact for parents who have questions or concerns about something relevant to their child's education.
Their pastoral role includes meeting with students to discuss issues involving academic progress, goal setting, course selection, behaviour, leadership opportunities etc.
They also liaise with a large number of staff to help monitor the progress of students as well as working with a wide range of external agencies.
