His interests include surfing, fishing, and many other sports, including Australian Rules Football (Geelong Football Club) and cricket. Throughout its relatively short history (the school opened in 1989), John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School (JSRACS) has developed an enviable reputation for substantial academic achievement, a nurturing pastoral care system, a long-established Anglican tradition, and a wide diversity of co-curricular activities. This demonstrates our endeavor to provide the best all-round education for our students by fully supporting them in their intellectual, emotional, psychological, physical, social, and spiritual development. Our aspiration is for JSRACS students to be architects of their lives looking beyond the ordinary to achieve the extraordinary, in making a difference to the world in which they live. In encouraging our students to achieve their potential, we place a significant emphasis on creating a dynamic teaching and learning environment, both within and outside the classroom. I also firmly believe that the quality of human relationships within a school defines it, namely, the interrelations between students, staff, and the entire community. It is the relational aspects of our school community that ensure each child's success as they strive to achieve personal excellence. At JSRACS, we work in partnership with you and your family in a supportive Christian community to nurture, stimulate, and challenge your child. Our highly professional, innovative, and caring staff have been individually chosen to cater to each student's wide-ranging talents and offer a broad array of co-curricular activities. Working together, we can help your child reach their potential through a balanced involvement in the many facets of the school's life. John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School's vision is to be a dynamic, Christian educational community that offers a broad education of high quality to students from diverse backgrounds. Each person will be encouraged to explore their spiritual, intellectual, social, physical, and creative capacities. The school will provide the best staff and facilities within the resources available to enable students to explore and achieve their full potential. Students will know that they are part of a caring and supportive Christian community that engenders positive self-esteem, unconditional positive regard for others, and individual responsibility for actions. When students leave school, they will be prepared for the next phase of their lives as independent learners. They will possess positive attitudes, values, and skills that equip them for life in a rapidly changing society because they will have been educated in an environment which developed a capacity to sustain life-long learning and practical thinking. Participation in a relevant, challenging, and meaningful curriculum empowered students to achieve personal and academic goals by offering opportunities in the eight curriculum areas encouraged and supported students as they learned to take responsibility for their learning and behavior towards others. This helps students to develop a healthy lifestyle, and a respect for themselves and others provided students with opportunities to recognize that active citizenship and care for others is a personal responsibility nurtured students spiritually and encouraged them to recognize that there are purpose and fulfillment in their lives allowed time for quiet repose and personal reflection.
