The School's religious, spiritual, and liturgical life is central to its mission. It is enacted in the Chapel, in the classroom, on the stage, or the sporting field, in social activities, or while traveling to and from the School. Guildford Grammar School promotes a Christian ethos in an Anglican tradition that is inclusive, ecumenical, and liturgical, thereby recognizing a thoughtful, enquiring, and proper place for the Bible, Tradition, and Reason, adequately exercised, in informing Christian discipleship and for the building up of the Kingdom of God.
In so much as the Chapel is the most striking building of the School, it symbolizes the importance the school places upon the Christian experience's centrality lived out in the Anglican tradition within the School.
The School Chapel is a quiet place in the School: it is a place of prayer and reflection for all school community members. It proclaims a message that God is present among his people that Jesus is alive and is ready to answer a prayer that the Holy Spirit calls us to love and to understand with each other. The Eucharist is at the heart of its worship and proclaims that in broken bread and shared wine, we seek to reflect Christ's self-giving love.
While the School welcomes those from all beliefs and none, it is expected that all members will live a life reflective in word and deed of the example of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Saviour. To that end, the School seeks to respond to human need with loving service, to be non-judgmental and inclusive. All students are required to attend Chapel services, congregational singing, and participate in the Christian and religious education classes of the School.
