Pastoral Support of Students Rationale ACG accepts a duty for the care and oversight of both the academic needs and personal well-being of students. ACG also acknowledges a duty to support students in their transfer to a new environment, particularly where there is an increasing emphasis on personal motivation and responsibility related to the age and origin of the student.
