Peter Carnley Anglican Community School

Peter Carnley Anglican Community School is a school of The Anglican Schools Commission Inc (ASC). It opened in Term 1, 2007 on a greenfields site in The Village at Wellard within the City of Kwinana. The School caters for students from Kindergarten through to Year 12. Peter Carnley Anglican Community School seeks to provide excellence in education, stressing high academic standards and the development of individual potential in a dynamic, caring and Christian environment.

Our mission is to challenge and inspire every member of our School community and to raise awareness of those who live in need beyond our gates. Our vision is to:

• Respect our Anglican tradition and offer an accessible, diverse and inclusive education
• Understand that the welfare of our community is a priority that underpins all we do
• Provide a caring and supportive environment for our students
• Be identified by our Christian beliefs, high standards and compassion for one another
• Encourage creative thinking and inquiring learners with a strong work ethic
• Foster and value academic achievement
• Present curriculum and co curricular programmes that demand exploration, creativity and the development of self confidence
• Be committed to individual personal bests.

Peter Carnley Anglican Community School students are given an education to prepare them to become contributing and successful members and future leaders of that community. The School aims to nurture each child so he or she is able to accept responsibility, demonstrate commitment and initiative and be self-disciplined whilst showing sensitivity to the needs of others.

The School aims to stimulate students' intellectual curiosity; increase the capacity to tackle and solve problems; think creatively and logically and have the ability to work with others.

Students receive a Christian education and are encouraged to use it as a basis for living. The School expects students to show the highest possible standards of courtesy, dress and behaviour. The school journey for every student should be one that is positive, challenging and inspiring. At Peter Carnley Anglican Community School (PCACS), we pride ourselves in supporting our students' social, emotional, physical and cognitive development.

As a School of The Anglican Schools Commission (Inc.), PCACS is a young and dynamic school, offering excellence in education for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 across two beautiful campuses. With a contemporary Early Learning Campus in Calista, and an attractively designed Wellard Campus for students from Years 2-12, the School provides a nurturing and balanced educational experience for all its students. Both campuses enjoy open play spaces where physical exercise and nature play is encouraged.

As educators, our purpose is to take each child on an Educational Journey: to spark students' intellectual curiosity, to grow their creativity and capacity to tackle and solve problems; to value work ethic and persistence; enable opportunities to work with others and to show care and compassion. We create an environment where our students can discover their strengths and talents, and we encourage a lifelong passion for creativity, innovation and learning. At PCACS we encourage every member of our community to be the best version of themselves. This key philosophy challenges the students to compare themselves to who they were yesterday, not to compare themselves to others today.
