Perth CBD location

Every learner known, supported and challenged

St George’s Anglican Grammar School is a distinctive vertical school located in the heart of the Perth CBD. As a proud member of AngliSchools, we are known for our strong sense of community, exceptional pastoral care and commitment to providing an engaging and inclusive education for students across Years 7 to 12.

With approximately 660 students, St George’s is large enough to offer a rich and diverse educational experience, yet small enough for genuine relationships to develop between students, families and staff. Our size ensures that students are known as individuals and that staff can very quickly see the positive effect of their work each day.

Students and staff learn and work within contemporary facilities in the centre of Perth, with the opportunities, partnerships and resources of the city forming an extension of our learning environment. Our tag line ‘the city is our campus’ is lived by all students and staff daily.

We welcome students from across metropolitan Perth and internationally and celebrate the diversity of a School community in which Everyone Matters.

We are seeking an accomplished educator and collaborative leader to head our Inclusive Education Centre from January 2027. This is a significant middle leadership opportunity to influence whole-school practice, develop the capacity of others and make a lasting difference to the learning and lives of young people.
