Annesley Junior School is an independent day school for girls and boys aged from two years old to year 6, located in Wayville, a suburb of Adelaide, South Australia.

Annesley Junior School has a co-educational early learning centre for children between the ages of two and five, and a primary school for reception to year 6.[5] The early learning centre operates as a long day care centre (child care centre), open 49 weeks of the year.[6] The early learning centre (kindergarten) and the primary school's before and after school care programs are Child Care Benefit–approved.[7]

Annesley Junior School is affiliated with the Association of Independent Schools of South Australia,[8] and the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA).[9]

Annesley has been an IB World School since December 2005.[10] The school has a music program and children from reception to year 6 learn French as a second language.

Campus and curriculum

Annesley Junior School is located on a single campus in Wayville, opposite the Adelaide Parklands, 500 metres from the Adelaide CBD.[11] Notable facilities include the historic 'Gillingham Hall' seating the whole school and a Chapel.[12]

Annesley Junior School's academic programs include the Primary Years Program of the International Baccalaureate (IBPYP).

There are two intakes into reception each year, in terms one and three. This will continue from 2014 when South Australian government schools will move to a single intake.

History

Methodist Ladies' College, 1903

Annesley Junior School was founded in 1902 as Methodist Ladies' College (MLC), at the site of the former Malvern Grammar School,[13] with 26 students enrolled. In 1903, the school was moved to the site of the former Way College for boys on Greenhill Road at Wayville.[14]

In 1977, a Union of the Congregational, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches took place, forming the Uniting Church in Australia. MLC subsequently took the name Annesley College, the maiden name of Susanna Wesley, the mother of John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist Church.

2010-2012: Merger talks, council resignation, transition to Junior School

In October 2010 Annesley College considerered merging with another school due to declining enrolments over the previous seven years.[15] The Uniting Church stated it would guarantee the continuity of the school for the following two years and that no merger would proceed.[16] The school appointed former Melbourne Girls Grammar School principal Christine Briggs as its new principal[17] but she withdrew from the appointment days later.[18]

In the face of growing uncertainty the school said it was seeking formal discussion with Pulteney Grammar School regarding a merger,[19] but the Uniting Church shortly thereafter withdrew in favour of "the co-operation of another Uniting Church School".[20][21] It subsequently stated that Scotch College would take over its management. The existing school council resigned, stating that amalgamation would have provided a better outcome.[22]

By January 2011, 108 students remained enrolled, down from 466 students mid-2010,[4] and by June 2011 the school announced it would relaunch in 2012 as the Annesley Learning Community, offering a school for boys and girls from Reception to Year 6 (from 2012) and a women's college for Years 10 to 12 (from 2013),[23] with a commensurate drop in staff numbers from 29 to 13.[24] Year 10 to 12 tuition was not sustained and the college was renamed Annesley Junior School. In August 2012 there were 100 students enrolled.[25]

Notable alumnae

Annesley has an Old Scholars Association which began in 1905 as the MLC Guild. The first meetings were literary and music evenings with girls writing essays for discussion.[26] Some notable Annesley/MLC Old Scholars include:
