Principal’s Message
Welcome to St Andrew’s Grammar, located in the central Perth suburb of Dianella, Western Australia.
Since its establishment in 1990 as a quality Christian College by the Hellenic Community of Western Australia, St Andrew’s Grammar has flourished to offer our K-12 students a school of academic opportunity, a supportive environment of belonging and a place where friendships and positive relationships between staff, students and the community continue to thrive. The balance of respected traditions, together with a future-focused education, prepares our graduates with strong foundations and purposeful vision to become people of good influence. St Andrew’s Grammar produces compassionate young people with a deep sense of conviction. We encourage authenticity, integrity and the confidence to contribute. We are warmly inclusive. We believe that the rich cultural diversity of our school fosters an understanding and respect for people of all cultures. We acknowledge the importance of learning to grow and work with a huge diversity of people because our 21st century is becoming more and more globalised. At St Andrew’s Grammar we value respect for our country, realise what a blessing it is to live in Australia and encourage an awareness for the integrity of leadership that serves others.
St Andrew’s Grammar students are well-prepared and supported to face life’s challenges intelligently and with resilience. Their warmth, character and positive energy provides them with an optimism and joy that is distinctive.
Our students are encouraged to be:
- Leaders and citizens who will not withhold good when it is in their power to act
- Creative, Collaborative and Critical thinkers who will value add with relevant contribution
- Honourable young people who have the skills of social agility and emotional connectedness to be authentic, courageous and capable
- Young people with a deep sense of values and understandings from which to draw inner strength
At St Andrew’s Grammar we understand that choosing the right school for your child is a significant decision. Whether your interest is in our Primary or Secondary, I am confident that once your child starts their journey with us you will experience how special it is, to be part of our community. Our staff are devoted to quality teaching and learning and care deeply about their students. Our students are committed to achieving excellence and support one another with genuine friendship. We provide many co-curricular, sporting, performing arts and cultural experiences. We are a Perth Glory Academy school. We deliver a comprehensive, rich and engaging curriculum from our early years learning through to Year 12 Graduation. We deliver both ATAR and VET pathways. Our students have choice, opportunities and networks that enable their futures. We provide an environment of positive, holistic education for wellbeing and excellence. Specialist educators and mentors support our students to enjoy their learning, pursue their interests, develop applicable knowledge through STEM, realise their strengths and stretch themselves to develop their potential. Smaller class sizes are also our deliberate strategy to deliver important individual attention and provide our students with excellence in tuition and care.
Thank you for your interest in St Andrew’s Grammar. We look forward to educating your child, sharing with you their formative school years and nurturing their strengths. The enduring friendships and sense of belonging that exist at the heart of our school will be your child’s experience.
I look forward to meeting and welcoming you to St Andrew’s Grammar.
