St Andrew's Grammar

St. Andrew’s Grammar School provides a safe and supportive teaching and learning environment for all of our students. We prepare our students to be life-long learners through a focus on academic rigour, a spirit of enquiry and participation in a broad range of academic and co-curricular activities.

Our learning strategies for students encourage the achievement of appropriate and challenging learning goals and their active participation in the learning process fosters self-discipline and prepares them for the challenges of a changing world. We focus on a holistic approach to the education of each child; academically, socially and spiritually.

One feature of a St. Andrew’s Grammar education is the strong sense of community that our school provides, through the support of the Hellenic Community of WA, the Greek Consulate and the Greek Orthodox Church. Our high quality staff are committed to the welfare of every individual child and our school provides the opportunity for students to develop self-esteem, confidence and lasting friendships in a safe and supportive environment.

St. Andrew’s Grammar provides a unique Orthodox Christian and Hellenic co-educational experience with a particular focus on academic excellence, Greek language and culture, within a safe and caring learning environment. Planning and teaching for all learning areas follows the Western Australian Curriculum Scope and Sequence content. Modern Greek is taught using the Australia Curriculum document.

There is an extensive assessment programme that drives planning, teaching and learning, and incorporates Summative and Formative assessment. Compulsory testing includes the collection of Baseline Data at the beginning of each year, NAPLAN testing in Term 2 for Years 3 and 5, Even Years NAPLAN testing in Term 3 and Common Assessment Tasks throughout the year. The reporting process includes Parent-Student-Teacher interviews with goal setting at the end of Term 1, a Semester Report at the end of Term 2, a Learning Journey at the end of Term 3 and a Final Report at the end of Term 4.
