Welcome to Peter Moyes Anglican Community School. We are a school that aspires to excellence, enabling students to achieve their full potential and pursue their chosen pathway. We aim to be a school where all students become successful learners, confident and competent individuals, and active and informed citizens. We provide students with an academic, sporting, cultural, and religious environment that offers a wide range of learning experiences and opportunities. Engaging in learning experiences within and beyond the classroom is an expectation for all our students. We believe that students' full and varied involvement best promotes their ability to discover and develop their talents, interests, and capabilities. Peter Moyes Anglican Community School is a proud member of the Anglican Schools Commission network of schools. The school opened in 2000 and has proliferated and developed a distinct identity in its relatively brief history. The school is set in northern Perth's coastal area with fantastic panoramic views of the nearby Indian Ocean. Our students enjoy an excellent campus with high-quality facilities, supported by a hardworking and dedicated team of staff assisting them in reaching their full potential. Across each of our Sub-Schools - Primary (Pre-Kindergarten to Year 6), Middle (Years 7-9), Senior (Years 10-12) - students and staff work within a distinct pastoral care structure that aims to meet the needs of their respective students best. An integral component of the school is the development and expression of the Anglican tradition's values. We seek to develop a sense of grace and Christian purpose in our students' lives. Students actively contribute to the school's Anglican life through their participation in weekly Chapel, Religious Education classes, and Eucharist's marking significant events on the Christian calendar. I hope you enjoy the snapshot of Peter Moyes Anglican Community School's life and times that this website provides. I think you will find that a sense of connection and community is palpable in our students' informal photographs as they participate in the events that make up the School calendar. Suppose you and your child are excited by what we offer here at Peter Moyes Anglican Community School. In that case, I invite you to take a tour to see first-hand our community of confident, resilient, and engaged learners and to talk with our motivated and innovative staff. At the opening of Stage Three of the School in 2002, Mr. Peter Moyes spoke of his wish that a student named in his honor would display: "Personal excellence with compassion for others." Accordingly, the School wishes, in the Anglican tradition, to foster, model, and build the following values within its students, staff, and the broader community: Knowledge & Insight: The pursuit of truth through organized learning is conducted to emphasize collaboration and honesty. Equality & Compassion: Where all have the same value and rights as others in such a way that each can be oneself and enable others to be themselves in a spirit of equity, trust, and the acceptance of diversity. Integration & Wholeness: All work to develop the inner capacity to organize the mind, body, and spirit into a coordinated, harmonious whole. Confidence, Competence, and Responsibility: All have real confidence that they can achieve positive and are personally accountable for the development and fair use of those skills, exhibiting respect for others' rights. Self-worth: All know that others they respect and esteem know them and affirm that they are worthy of their care, respect, and protection. Members of the School community are encouraged to explore Christian beliefs, think, feel, and respect differences without denouncing other identifiable value systems. We aim to develop each person's faith within a community framework to assist each in their own spiritual and social development. The school aims to focus on the whole person's needs – intellectual, aesthetic, moral, spiritual, emotional, physical, and social. These are incorporated in the total range of activities experienced at the school, commonly known as curriculum. The curriculum includes the formal academic component of school education, developing knowledge and insight into the world of learning, and integrating experiences from various sources such as the Co-Curricular program. All students can learn. Learning is best conducted in a safe environment, where mistakes can be made without ridicule. School life's focus must be a holistic one that includes the full and balanced development of each school community member. A healthy balance must exist between school and home life demands for all students, staff, and parents. Learning is best when the learner integrates experience, imagination, information, and application. Regular feedback is vital for teachers, students, and parents. Students are recognized for their uniqueness. Our sense of community is built around the quality of relationships between staff, students, and parents. Therefore, it is partially dependent upon staff welcoming parents into the school as much as possible and associating with them on other occasions. Students need to communicate clearly and work with other students, staff, and parents. Parents need to be involved with the school as much as possible, taking an active interest in developing their own and others' children. Our school is committed to demonstrating an open and inclusive approach to all aspects of School life. Entry to the School is non-selective, and the school seeks to demonstrate a democratic approach to the education and participation of its students in all School activities. The Anglican tradition and the School's Vision and Values for its students reinforce this inclusive school environment's commitment. View full school
