Guildford 2016 annual report 2017 ANNUAL REPORT

Guildford Grammar School is a prestigious Anglican School established in 1896. The School is magnificently situated on almost 100 hectares along the banks of the Swan River, and houses one of the most beautiful and historical chapels in WA; the Chapel of St Mary and St George. The School has a long- standing reputation for providing a broad-based education for young people and is known for its high academic standards, sporting and cultural opportunities and traditional values. Guildford Grammar School will commence the transition to a fully co-educational school from 2018. At the end of 2017 the school had K-6 (415 students) and boys’ only from Years 7-12 ( 676 students). There are boarding facilities for 148 boys from Years 7-12.

Guildford Grammar School is leading the way in 21st Century education, through the introduction of its unique Catalyst curriculum, developed especially for students in Years 7-9. Catalyst allows students to participate in a three-year program of electives and projects designed to build on skills that will enable them to contribute to our changing world. Numeracy and literacy are the foundations of the Catalyst BIG skills, with a strong focus on critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, collaboration and research; skills all highly sought after by 21st Century employers. An innovative new teaching facility has been built to accommodate the flexible learning style of the program.

We offer a wide range of sporting and co-curricular programs, competing in the PSA sporting competition in Rugby, Soccer, Hockey, Cricket, Swimming, Water Polo, Tennis, Volleyball, Cross Country and Rowing. Co-curricular programs include Music, Drama, Chess, Debating, Cadets, Philosothon, Tournament of Minds, Human Powered Vehicle Challenge, Public Speaking, World Scholar’s Cup, DaVinci Decathalon, OptiMinds and Golf. Throughout the year, students have opportunities to participate in a number of local expeditions and international study tours. Recently groups travelled on a history tour to France and a tour to Canberra.

Guildford Grammar School has an open enrolment policy. There is a strong and effective pastoral care structure, through a house system, year group mentors, peer support leaders and the School’s Chaplains. The School has a wonderful sense of community with many opportunities for our students, families and staff to participate in the broader life of the School.

Our collaborative team of expert staff are well supported with opportunities for professional development and they actively engage in the continual improvement of our School. We are all dedicated to achieve the School Purpose to inspire students to achieve personal excellence and to be outstanding citizens who work to create a just, loving and peaceful society.
