Geraldton Grammar School (GGS)
Geraldton Grammar School is a welcoming, co-educational Anglican school for students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Located on nearly 18 hectares in the scenic Midwest city of Geraldton, our campus features beautiful gardens and ocean views.
With over 700 students, we are small enough for each student to be known and valued, yet large enough to offer a broad range of subjects and opportunities. We embrace diversity and are inclusive of all cultures and faiths.
Our dedicated staff contribute beyond the classroom, including participation in our vibrant camps program. In recognition of this commitment, we offer extended term breaks. Smaller class sizes also allow for more meaningful engagement and improved student outcomes, in quiet, calm spaces.
Our teaching approach is grounded in high-quality, differentiated instruction, continuous feedback, and a strong focus on developing independent, respectful learners. Our motto, 'Striving for Excellence', is reflected in all that we do.

Geraldton Grammar School takes child protection seriously. All candidates for roles at Geraldton Grammar School are subject to screening and assessment against child safety standards as part of our thorough recruitment process.
