Our Ethos

Anglican schools are active participants in the mission of the Church, encouraging young people to consider a personal response to the Christian faith, and to develop an appreciation of other religious traditions.
Anglican schools:

• nurture spiritual growth
• provide a dynamic education while maintaining continuity with the past
• value a spirit of inquiry and intellectual endeavour
• support the development of the whole person with a balanced education
• promote a safe, disciplined, caring learning community
• aspire to be inclusive and open, responding to diverse needs and abilities
• affirm the dignity and worth of all people
• promote social, ethical, civic and environmental responsibility.

For over 150 years Anglican schools in Western Australia have been centres of excellence in teaching and learning, pastoral care, worship and service.

Western Australian Anglican schools are diverse in nature and character, as is the Anglican Church itself. From long established to new; boys, girls or co-educational; day or boarding; and at various tuition fee accessibility ranges, Anglican education is the second largest grouping of non -government schools in Western Australia.

Anglican schools provide young people with opportunities to develop an understanding of the beliefs and practices of the Anglican Church through religious education programs, worship, and community service programs.
