TEACHING & Learning

There has been much chatter in the media about student pathways, university entry requirements and the integrity of school credentials.

Our education system and its end goals can seem to be portrayed as simply shaping graduates to fit into an economy, rather than a community. It can seem that the purpose of education is about instrumentalism, rather than driving a love for learning.

The beauty of our shared Anglican identity is that it orientates us. An ASC education is one that connects young people to an Anglican community. A community that values faith, reason, worship, inclusion, character and service.

Our Anglican identity provides the basis of what we understand to be meaningful and significant. We value the love of learning and embrace the challenge of excellence, while empowering students to lead a purposeful life. That is why we embrace the diversity of each student cohort and seek to provide multiple pathways.

During 2022 there were approximately 1127 year 12 students at ASC schools. Across the cohort, they achieved vocational qualifications, university preparation courses and ATAR courses.

Excellence at ASC Schools

We celebrate the success of our VET and general students, including the Year 12 student from Georgiana Molley Anglican School who received a Certificate of Excellence in Primary, Environmental and Animal Care, and the student from Peter Carnley Anglican Community School who received a Certificate for Excellence in Tourism, Hospitality and Events.

A total of 603 ASC Year 12 students graduated with an Australian Territory Admissions Score (ATAR) in 2022. Students achieved excellent results, including the following highlights:

• St James’ Anglican School students achieved a median score of 88.85

• John Wollaston Anglican Community School students achieved a median score of 88.05

• St Mark’s Anglican Community School students achieved a median score of 87.90

• Esperance Anglican Community School (a small but mighty cohort of 7 students) achieved a median score of 86.35

• John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School achieved a median score of 85.58.

Three international students enrolled at St George’s Anglican Grammar School achieved outstanding results as part of the Western Australian Universities’ Foundation program (WAUFP). Two of the students achieved a score above 99 and the third student achieved first place in the WAUFP Mathematics Specialist program.

We acknowledge the incredible efforts of the teachers that led and supported students’ learning journeys.

Coming Up

We look forward to learning from Brooke Prentis in June. Brooke is a descendent of the Wakka Wakka peoples, an Aboriginal Christian leader, and a theologian and Chartered Accountant with over 15 years’ senior management experience.

Teachers can hear Brooke speak about embedding Aboriginal perspectives in the curriculum on Monday 12 June (Perth) and Thursday 15 June (South-West)

Religious educators can hear from Brooke about Aboriginal spirituality, deep listening and, learning to be guests of ancient hosts on ancient lands on Wednesday June 14

Brooke will run student forums about ‘voice, treaty and truth’.
