Future.
As the world continues to change, the heart and soul of an ever-evolving St George’s Anglican Grammar School education remains the same – robust academic learning, all-encompassing pastoral care which provides holistically for the diverse and varied needs of all St George’s students, a broad range of co-curricular pursuits, an inspirational community service program and enhanced sustainable processes and practices. These are all grounded in a firm commitment to the Anglican faith which remains at the very heart of all that we do within our school. Our values of Faith, Excellence, Justice, Respect, Integrity and Inclusion firmly shape who we are.
St George’s is proud to be a part of AngliSchools, a group of 16 schools across Western Australia, NSW and Victoria who all champion educational excellence within an accessible fee structure. As an Anglican school, St George’s is a place of welcome and inclusion for everyone. It is a place where Everyone Matters. Our motto - Wisdom, Grace and Service - is lived by each student and we aspire to ensure the growth of exciting new programs, partnerships, experiences and opportunities for our students, our staff and our wider school community as we continue to provide a unique educational experience in the heart of the City of Perth.
The St George’s difference is that our actions and practices reflect our Anglican beliefs, our ethos and our values. Our vision for each St George’s student is that they be guided and challenged to find their own pathway to become the future leaders of the world in which they live. We want our students to be inspired at school, to have the opportunity to make their mark and to ensure that within their educational journey, they have a chance to shine. We want to foster within each student a life-long curiosity about the ever-changing world in which they live and for them to find their own place in this world.
Our Strategic Plan 2025 – 2030 – ‘Strategy in Action - Towards 2030’ - provides the framework and focus for this vision. It promotes an emphasis on the development of the whole child. At home in the heart of the CBD, we seek to equip our students to be empathetic, flexible thinkers who thrive in a connected Anglican community which emphasises a values-based education promoting faith as a positive strength within an ever-changing world. Kindness, curiosity and confidence guide all that we do here.
Our Strategy in Action: Towards 2030 supports us to shape a strong and vibrant community which values equity, diversity and inclusion. It celebrates the uniqueness of each of our students and demonstrates an unequivocal commitment to the communities in which we live, learn and work as well as to the city environment which is home to our school.
Our new Strategic Plan provides the opportunity for all connected with the School to work together and embark on their own St George’s adventure, creating a road map for our continued growth and development as we take our first steps to our exciting new school campus at 441 Murray Street, where by 2030 we will be located together as a single campus vertical school in the heart of the City of Perth.
The new facilities at 441 Murray Street will provide St George’s Anglican Grammar School students with a state-of-the-art vertical school. It will purposefully harness all that we already love about St George’s yet improve and inspire the next generation of St George’s Anglican Grammar School students enhancing our successful city-based context.
Our Strategy in Action – Towards 2030 will set the foundations for flourishing. It will create a place of learning where excellence will be consistently pursued and it will develop contemporary capabilities where St George’s Anglican Grammar School students emerge as confident, capable, kind, curious and service minded citizens of the world. They will carefully collaborate with and respect others, be future focused, celebrate diversity, be inclusive in their thinking and look to understand and develop imaginative solutions for a better world for all.
Our Strategy in Action – Towards 2030 has four key learning priorities with the core competency of Anglican Identity being at the heart of all that we undertake here.
• P riority 1 - The St George’s Students – Our Students
• P riority 2 – The St George’s Staff – Our Academic and Support Staff
• P riority 3 – The St George’s Facilities – Our Environment
• P riority 4 – The St George’s Family – Our Wider Community and Connections
Together we cannot wait to bring this Strategic Plan to life.
