2.3 Growth

With expert advice and guidance, we continue to drive our growth and prepare for the future by:

• establishing new schools

• identifying and securing sites for future schools

• expanding and enhancing the current facilities at our existing schools.

We opened an office in Wangaratta, Victoria, in May 2023. The expansion marks a significant milestone in our dedication to the growth of ASC schools in regional Victoria, and the New South Wales and Victoria border region.

Twenty Year Milestone!

Since 2002, Trinity Anglican College has evolved from two portable buildings located on a parish site servicing 17 students and three staff, to a school of 1200 students from Kindergarten to Year 12 attending a beautiful 10-ha campus in Albury, New South Wales.

The school community recently celebrated their 20th birthday milestone in a whole-school event, hearing from two founding staff members who both continue to work at Trinity.

Coming 2024 — Shepparton

Building works for All Saints Anglican School, the fourth ASC school in the Diocese of Wangaratta, commenced in February 2023.

The 16th ASC school will open in Term 1, 2024 for students in Preparatory through to Year 7. The Shepparton (and surrounding) community has expressed great interest in the coming school, reflected in strong enrolments across all year groups.

Coming 2025 — 441 Murray St

The City of Perth approved plans in April 2023 for the ASC to develop a purpose-built facility at 441 Murray St, Perth. Construction will commence later this year.

The ASC Head Office and ASC International will relocate to 441 Murray St by the beginning of 2025. St George’s Anglican Grammar School will relocate in a staged move from 2025.

Future Growth and Expansion

The New Schools Committee continues to investigate opportunities to establish ASC schools as part of our sustainable growth strategy.

We recently secured a site in the far north of Perth at Yanchep for future development. The magnificent site in the future Yanchep township development will provide for full primary and secondary schooling.

New State-of-the-Art Athletic Facilities

Frederick Irwin Anglican School opened their new state-of-the-art sports centre in April 2023. The centre features an abseil tower, rock climbing wall, weights room, two classrooms, a lift and laundry.

The new facility will see the expansion and enhancement of existing sporting programmes and the introduction of exciting new courses.

Transforming with Grace and Innovation

2022 was a big year for Peter Carnley Anglican Community School. They celebrated their 15 year anniversary and the opening of two profoundly transformative buildings within their grounds.

The new ‘Grace Chapel’ is a beautiful sacred space that will be used for worship, as well as for celebrations, events and valedictories by the school and the Parish of Kwinana.

The second new space is the centre for innovation, research and the arts. Named ‘Moortang Mia’, which means ‘place of family’ and ‘community coming together’, the thoughtfully designed building houses a drama and dance auditorium, an area dedicated to the TIDES program (Technology, Innovation, Design, Enterprise and Sustainability), research and reading zones, IT help desk and café style canteen.

Both spaces have had a significant impact on life at the School.

2.4 Continuous Improvement

We continue to seek efficiencies and enhanced outcomes, while managing risk, through continuous improvement, innovation and technology. Over the last year we have:

• embedded an ongoing focus on cybersecurity to protect our schools’ data and online safety;

• recognised the transformative role Artificial Intelligence (AI) is predicated to play in the way we work, learn and live. To ensure we are future ready, we have established a Working Party to support the introduction of AI technologies into our Schools; and

• migrated our financial system to the cloud for greater operating efficiencies and access.

3.2 Teaching and Learning

We continually seek, develop and implement improvement initiatives to support our learning communities to pursue excellence. We work with our schools to ensure that students can access the support and resources they need to perform at their best.

Vision for Learning

In consultation with teachers and leaders from our schools, the ASC has developed a Vision for Learning in 2023 (see pages 32-33). The vision articulates a shared set of values for teaching and learning at ASC Schools. It will serve as a common reference for success and a narrative to consider and prompt change.

We will embed the Vision for Learning throughout our teaching communities over the next year.

Growth and Professional Development

We conduct many professional networking and development opportunities for the ASC teaching community. Quarterly events are held for Senior Staff, Aspiring Leaders and Education Support staff, while annual events are held for Heads of Department.

Over the last year, the networks have focused on:

• assessment and reporting;

• differentiation; and

• gifted and talented education.

Professional development opportunities have included leading learning seminars and master classes in ATAR English, Mathematics and Early Literacy.

Partnering with the Experts to be Future Forward

ASC Piano Competition: Musical Collaboration and Excellence

A record number of students took part in the 2022 ASC Piano Competition.

11 schools 243 students

Swan Valley Anglican Community School’s new Learner Profile has earned them a place as a research partner in the innovative ‘New Metrics for Success’ collaboration project led by the University of Melbourne. They join John Wollaston Anglican Community School, who are also a proud research partner in this project.

The project recognises the need for refreshed approaches to education and assessment to best prepare students for a markedly different future. It brings together progressive school leaders, national and internationally recognised academic researchers and thought leaders, with system, sector and industry leaders.

36 digital entries

The competition was hosted at Peter Moyes Anglican Community School. Six different entry categories, named after the ASC core valuesFaith, Excellence, Justice, Respect, Integrity and Inclusion - enabled students from a broad range of piano grades to participate.
