St Paul's Anglican Grammar School - Warragul
Our School
From humble beginnings in 1982, we have grown to be a school of approximately 1,600 students and 250 staff, becoming one of Australia’s leading regional schools.
Known for strong academic achievement and broad co-curricular offerings, St Paul’s embraces the importance of recognising each child as an individual. This is made possible by our ‘four schools in one’ approach, with a Junior School and Secondary School at each of our campuses in Warragul and Traralgon. In this way, each child can be known and catered for with a personalised approach by staff who know their students well.
A strong focus on learning
When your child joins St Paul’s you can be confident that our positive learning culture translates to an environment where teachers can focus on bringing out the best in every child and where children understand that they are at school to learn. Our classrooms at every level are notable for the focus shown by the students and the enthusiasm for learning that exists.
A learning environment that focuses on effort
No one understands the importance of effort and determination like the staff at St Paul’s. From the early years right through to Year 12, we encourage a Growth Mindset and an understanding that with the right attitude anything is possible. Time and time again our most successful graduates tell us that while they may not always have been the ‘most naturally gifted,’ their hard work and determination progressed them to where they wanted to go.
Safe, happy and respected - that's the St Paul's way
Students at St Paul’s are known and highly regarded for their genuine care and compassion for others and their enthusiasm for all that they do. Their love for the School is evident in the way they treat each other, respect their teachers and wholeheartedly contribute to their wider community. While everyone will have challenging times, you can be sure that there will always be a community of support available.
Learning beyond the classroom
Our students are offered the opportunity and encouragement to succeed as they engage in an extensive co-curricular program of sporting, music, performing arts, personal development, outdoor education, visual arts and cultural activities. In addition, our secondary students have numerous opportunities to experience the world. Current programs include service tours to Rwanda and East Timor, and study and cultural tours to Japan and France.
An outstanding record of success
We understand what it takes to have a student achieve all of which he or she is capable. As a consequence, we have a proven track record for VCE excellence and an outstanding record of tertiary placement for all VCE students regardless of their ATAR score or area of interest. Of course, success starts early and our NAPLAN results (available from the My School website), show that regardless of a child’s academic level when he or she joins us, the St Paul’s staff do make a difference for their future.
