School culture unfolds alongside masterplan for expansion

Stunning in all regards from its aesthetic new buildings and classrooms through to its inclusive educational philosophy and values, All Saints Anglican School is a new and exceptional learning community committed to delivering a caring Christian education to the students of Shepparton and beyond.

Opening its highly anticipated doors this year, the school has already made an indelible mark on the region’s educational landscape enrolling 230 students from Foundation to Year 7.

Holding the values of Faith, excellence, justice, integrity and inclusion at its heart, the independent school is set to grow to 410 students in 2025, as the construction of permanent classrooms are completed to accommodate next year’s growing cohort extending to Year 8.

Conscious and devoted to establishing a school culture that exemplifies the virtues encompassed in the school motto, Equipped to Serve, principal Jim Laussen said that it was important for the pioneering students of 2024 to lead growth in numbers, as the custodians of the school’s unfolding story, traditions and values.

As student voice and an exemplary school culture is embedded, All Saint’s masterplan for ongoing construction is set to unfold in exciting stages that will provide learning spaces reaching up to Year 12 in 2029. Beginning next year, 12 new classrooms will be built while the focus will be on constructing specialist spaces in 2026. These will include three science labs, music rooms, art rooms and a woodwork trade centre and will be completed to greet the school’s first Year 10 students in 2027, ready for fast-tracking VCE subjects. On the horizon, the school will also receive a double court gymnasium, a performing arts centre and a chapel.

Having successfully begun its long journey, providing a quality alternative for the region’s students and their families, Jim said, “The students are at the beginning and centre of every decision we make. We’ve got to look at everything that happens through their eyes and how we make the best for them.”
