Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School (often denoted BCGS), is an independent school in Gelorup, Western Australia, a semi-rural suburb 10 kilometres south of Bunbury. Providing kindergarten, primary and secondary education, the school serves approximately 900 students and employs 160 staff. BCGS is a participating member of the Round Square Organization,[3] and Diocesan School of the Anglican Diocese of Bunbury.[4]
BCGS's campus is situated on 33 hectares of bushland,[5] consisting of a primary and secondary school, sporting and boarding facilities.
[edit] History
In 1967, a small group of volunteers, led by the bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Bunbury, Bishop Ralph Hawkins, organized the creation of an Anglican, co-educational day and boarding school. Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School became operational in 1972, with an enrolment of 78 students.[6]
BCGS has published a magazine called the Grammarian quarterly.
Dr Bruce Matthews was the headmaster at the school from 1998 to 2011, when he left to take up a position on the inaugural board of the newly formed School Curriculum and Standards Authority.[7] The headmaster that replaced Matthews was Mike Giles[8] who joined the school in late 2011 from Great Southern Grammar.[9]
