Vision, Mission and Values

“Quod Bonum Tenete” – Hold fast that which is good.

Our motto embodies the importance placed on traditional values at Peninsula Grammar. We value a spiritual and moral view of life that prizes the highest standards of personal character with a Christian ethic of service and concern for others.

At the same time, we proudly see ourselves at the forefront of contemporary education, developing the intellectual talents of our students and equipping them with the skills to contend with life’s challenges. As global citizens, students are encouraged to develop an attitude of service that will enable them to make a meaningful contribution to the world.

OUR VISION

Our vision is to be Australia’s number one co-educational, day and boarding school that offers an unsurpassed comprehensive education and is known around the world for our spirited and community environment.

Peninsula Grammar strives to provide the highest quality teachers who nurture and inspire students to strive for personal excellence.

Key characteristics of the School are its community spirit and its steadfast commitment to positive education. We aim to foster self-belief and creativity in each child.

We believe that this is best achieved in a coeducational environment, shaped by Christian faith that produces active and informed global citizens.

Our Mission

Our mission is to deliver the highest- quality education to students from Kindergarten to Year 12. At Peninsula Grammar, our teachers are exceptional in the way they teach, nurture, and inspire each child in every classroom to reach for personal excellence.

Our community spirit and steadfast commitment to positive education continue to foster self-belief and creativity in each child, whilst our coeducational environment reflects the real world, producing active and informed global citizens.

Shaped by the Christian faith, our school strives to instil a social consciousness in each student so that they can succeed in every sphere of life as they continue to better the world around them. 

Our values

Stewardship

As custodians of the School we are entrusted with the health and wellbeing of our community. Sound principles of leadership and governance underpin what we strive to do to ensure the prosperity and longevity of our School for the benefit of current and future generations. In enacting stewardship, we choose service to our community over self-interest.

Integrity

Our School motto ‘Hold Fast To That Which Is Good’ underpins the moral and ethical principles by which we operate. We prize consistency of values and actions and are committed to always acting in a socially responsible and virtuous manner for the greater good of our community.

Coeducational learning

We are proudly coeducational. We offer a diverse, vibrant and challenging learning environment which promotes equality and fairness of opportunity. We believe that an integrated, coeducational approach best serves Australian society by promoting mutually respectful interactions between all genders in a safe, secure and rewarding environment.

Personal excellence

Our students are inspired and supported to develop their natural gifts and to become lifelong learners. We encourage students to understand that potential is best achieved through self reflection and the commitment to hard work. The School looks for opportunities to acknowledge individual improvement and personal best as well as celebrating those who achieve at the highest level.

Community spirit

We are a community in which a sense of affiliation and connectedness flourishes. We boast an enviable culture that is underpinned by acceptance, friendship and interdependence. An ethic of service abounds in our School family which helps account for the commonplace, selfless, individual and community actions that go to enriching the lives of others.

Christian faith

The School is founded on the Anglican tradition through which we are guided by God’s love and grace. Students are encouraged to explore the spiritual dimensions of their lives and to embrace Christian principles. We are a diverse and inclusive community which welcomes international students and respects the beliefs of all faiths.
