Great Southern Grammar
Great Southern Grammar is an independent non-denominational Christian co-educational primary and secondary day and boarding school, located in the Great Southern regional town of Kalgan, Western Australia between the King River and the Kalgan River. The school is situated approximately 16 kilometres (10 mi) East of Albany, a regional centre 390 kilometres (242 mi) south-southeast of Perth.
The campus has a total area of 58 hectares (144 acres) bordered by Nanarup Road to the north, Oyster Harbour to the south, Johnston Creek to the west and the Kalgan River to the east.
The school is non-selective, and caters for boys and girls from age four (Kindergarten) through to age eighteen (Year 12). Students attend the school predominantly from Albany and the Great Southern, but also from other parts of Australia and internationally, with a current boarding population of ~140.
In 2009 the school was ranked at number 10 in Western Australia, based on results of its Year 12 students.
Great Southern Grammar was founded in 1996 by a development committee of those interested in forming an independent school in the Great Southern region of Western Australia. A foundation ceremony was conducted in 1998. After opening in rented premises at Mount Melville in 1999 with 36 students, the school relocated to the Lower Kalgan campus in 2000. The school catered for Year 8 to 10 students when it first opened.
In his address at the opening of the school, local Noongar elder, Aiden Eades stated, "The school grounds are of special significance to local Noongars, with the Kalgan and the King rivers meeting close by. Never forget that this is Noongar land but you are welcome to use it, especially for something like education."
In 2002 the Junior School opened which catered for students from Kindergarten to Year 6. The Middle School continued to operate for students in Year 7 to Year 9 and the Senior School continued to cater for students from Year 10 to Year 12.
The Senior School building was extended to include an extra six classrooms in 2004. The construction company, Wauters Enterprises, won a construction excellence award from the Master Builders Association.
