Chaplain and Head of Religious Studies - Multiple Roles (Australia)

Founded in 1985, the mission of The Anglican Schools Commission (Inc) is to establish and support low fee paying Anglican systemic schools in Western Australia which provide a high quality, inclusive, caring Christian education.

Growing from modest beginnings with the opening of St Mark's Anglican Community School in 1986 in the northern beaches suburb of Hillarys, today over 8,500 students attend nine ASC schools on ten campuses throughout Perth, in Busselton and in Esperance. These young people, aged from four to eighteen years old, are taught and cared for by over 900 staff.

ASC schools are co-educational communities of excellence and educational centres of caring. Most offer a comprehensive Kindergarten to Year 12 education. They deliver excellence in education, stressing high achievement in traditional academic subjects, balanced by comprehensive co-curricular and vocational programs. These are underpinned by core Christian values and teaching in the time-honoured Anglican tradition. Pastoral care and social justice are central to each school's outworking of the Christian faith within its community.

The ASC provides policy direction and support in the areas of finance and budgeting, industrial relations and capital development. We also provide the curriculum framework and professional development for Christian Religious Studies, assisting teachers to develop meaningful and engaging programs for students.

We work closely with local communities, parish churches, government, property developers and the wider corporate sector to plan new schools in growth areas throughout Western Australia.
