The general and academic welfare of Vienna College students is shared between a number of staff through a number of systems. The residential domestic staff comprises a Senior Man and three male assistants, all of whom are academic teachers living alongside the male students. They support and supervise the students in their lives outside the classroom.

Similarly, the residential female Domestic Staff are also all members of the teaching staff, three in total, live and work with the girls residing in the girls’ compound.

Embedded in the residential areas are dormitories grouped in ‘Houses’ – Lion, Tiger, Panther, Leopard, Jaguar and Cheetah each led by a Housemaster or Housemistress and several associated members of staff.

The Houses regularly compete in a number of inter-house competitions – sporting, musical, drama and debating. They also serve to unite groups of all-age students.

Most teachers are given the role of tutor and regularly meet with a relatively small group of tutees to act as another significant pastoral influence on the students. Tutors monitor the general welfare and academic progress of each tutee and serve as the front-line information gatherer and informant for parents .

The health of the students is monitored and maintained by a full time medically qualified residential nurse and similary qualified assistant. Together they operate clinics on a daily basis and the school Doctor regularly attends the College to offer surgery sessions. The College organizes a medical insurance scheme, premiums paid for by the parents, such that, if necessary, a sick or injured student can receive immediate attention in a local hospital.
