Residents at St Ann's College have a diverse background with most coming from either rural Australia or overseas.[2] Members of the College attend three universities in South Australia, University of Adelaide, the University of South Australia and Flinders University. St Ann's College is privately owned and run, and is not funded by government, church or university.

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]
