Overview
Students from Years 7 to 12 are accommodated in a middle school (Years 7 to 9) and senior school (Years 10 to 12). St George's Anglican Grammar School is a school of the Anglican Schools Commission (ASC). The school is Western Australia's first vertical school – one based in a high rise building rather than on a traditional campus.[1]
St George's Anglican Grammar School opened in January 2015 as the 14th school of the Anglican Schools Commission. The ASC had acquired the independent Murdoch College, changed its name, and relocated it from the suburb of Murdoch.[2]
In 2021, the school purchased a building at 441 Murray Street for a new campus.[3] Construction to upgrade the building is planned to start in 2023 with students starting to move in in 2025.[4]
