Message from the Board Chair

‘Exceptional’ best describes the development and growth of the Anglican Schools Commission (ASC) over the past twelve months.

The exceptional leadership and commitment from the CEO, The Reverend Peter Laurence OAM, ASC Principals, and Chiefs and Directors in the ASC Head Office, enabled a complicated and dynamic jigsaw, Strategic Plan 2025, to live large. At its centre, most importantly, is a vibrant Anglican identity.

The exceptional growth in enrolments is unexpected in this economic climate, but our system embraced a dramatic increase in families attracted to accessible, quality Anglican education and our Schools’ positive and allembracing culture. As well as consolidating and enhancing our established schools, a new school, All Saints Anglican School, Shepparton, is under construction. Meanwhile in Perth, fully developed plans for the future home of St George’s Anglican Grammar School, ASC International and the ASC Head Office are just one step away from building works commencing.

The exceptional relationship between the CEO and ASC Schools was evident too in the smooth negotiation and implementation of the new Charter, which provides the framework for modern governance of our School Councils into the future.

The Board is immensely proud of the core purpose, growth and achievements of the ASC and its schools and congratulates all who have contributed to our impressive living and learning environment.

Mrs Lynne Thomson
