Anglican Schools - What we offer

There are over 20 Anglican schools in the Queensland region with the number growing steadily. These include boarding and day schools, boys, girls and co-educational schools all of which cater to the entire community regardless of race or nationality. Most schools offer Prep to Year 12 classes and nearly all have a full-time chaplain who cares for the students' religious education and spiritual development.

Our students are taught respect for intellectual endeavour, commitment to tradition, and dignity within school life and worship, and a sense of social responsibility. We follow and teach Christ's example of love and respect for all people.

Queensland Anglican schools are committed to achieving outstanding standards of education for young Queenslanders. The rich traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and history are an integral part of this commitment. Our Indigenous Education Policy is designed to enhance educational opportunities for Indigenous students and to encourage all people to learn about different cultures, building partnerships with, and respect for each other.

Our teachers are highly qualified and committed to providing quality learning for our students, and you will find our facilities and grounds are very impressive.
