2. What is Pastoral Care?

3. Mission Statement
We firmly believe that happy students are successful students and at Fort Pitt Grammar School we do our utmost to create a caring, sympathetic and inspiring environment in which the students can thrive. With a committed pastoral team each student is supported and encouraged to grow socially and academically. They are given opportunities to develop self awareness and self confidence, along with undertaking responsibilities which will equip them for adult life. We aim to broaden the students’ aspirations and remove barriers to their achievement.
