Reverend J H Davies founded Caulfield Grammar School in Elsternwick, Victoria, in 1881 with just nine pupils. By 1911 it had moved to land that is now the site of the Caulfield Campus in Glen Eira Road, East St Kilda. Today, this campus provides a broad range of learning programs for girls and boys, day students and boarders, in Years 7 to 12. In 1947, our school pioneered the idea of a rural campus, the first of its kind in Australia. Yarra Junction Campusbecame the model followed by other schools in providing learning experiences beyond the classroom, remote from students’ familiar routine and environment.
A review of the School’s Vision, Mission and Values was instigated in 2011 by former Principal Rev. Syme, and after an extensive period of consultation with the school community is pleased to confirm the Mission, Vision and Values that will guide Caulfield Grammar School’s strategic planning and the delivery of its learning programs into the future. Our Mission To enable quality learning every day in every experience for every learner for life. Our Vision To be a leading, internationally recognised, co-educational school fostering responsible global citizenship. Our Values are one school inspired by our Anglican tradition and value
Delivering quality learning is what Caulfield Grammar School’s reputation is built on. But what about the future? The school is intent on driving a robust improvement agenda that will see it deliver on its Mission, Vision and Values today, tomorrow and beyond. The school has developed a strategic plan that will see it continue to focus on five key outcome areas set out in the diagrams below. The strategic projects and capital works plans are aligned to the Vision, Mission and Values using a balanced scorecard to measure and guide our progress.
Our youngest learners are keen observers and explorers of the world around them and our experienced teachers aim to foster this in their learning. Incorporating the best aspects of several educational philosophies, including the Reggio Emilia approach, our Kindergarten and Pre-Preparatory curriculum framework engages children in inquiry based learning and wondering. Learning is guided by our highly qualified team of educators who provide a nurturing, safe and stimulating environment. Alongside the development of key skills in literacy and numeracy, our young girls and boys develop understandings through exploring their environment, creating, communicating and documenting.
The addition of specialist classes such as Physical Education and the Perceptual Motor Programme (PMP), Music and Library, enrich the Early Years program. Pre-Preparatory children are exposed to language learning as they participate in weekly Chinese language lessons. As part of the wider Caulfield Grammar community, our learners join in a range of campus experiences including the ‘buddy’ program, games and assemblies. The Middle Schools of Caulfield Grammar, at Caulfield Campus and Wheelers Hill Campus, are candidate schools for the International Baccalaureate (IB) Middle Years Programme (MYP). Caulfield Grammar School is an authorised IB World School, and currently offers the Primary Years Program.
Recognising the significant and often rapid changes that occur in girls and boys during the years of early adolescence and the transition from primary to secondary schooling, the staff at all campuses of Caulfield Grammar School work closely to provide a caring environment for our students.
