Launceston Church Grammar School is an Anglican co-educational day and boarding community. We exist to nurture, challenge and inspire young people to lead fulfilling lives and positively contribute to their communities.
At Launceston Grammar, we seek to uphold the values of the Christian faith in all we do as a School, at the same time recognising and celebrating the diversity that is within our School community and the needs of individuals. We invite our students to live a life in response to Jesus Christ while students of all faiths and none are welcomed and respected.
Our beautiful school chapel is regarded as being at the heart of our school and has a prominent location at the entrance to the Senior Campus. Students from Prep to Grade 12 participate in weekly Chapel services and the year commences with services for staff and students where we reflect on the year ahead and pray for every aspect of School life.
Christian Studies classes from Prep to Grade 10 provide students with an opportunity to reflect on their own beliefs and outlook, gain a familiarity with the Bible, the life of Jesus, a Christian worldview and world religions. Students have access to chaplaincy services with the School Chaplains and benefit from a well-established pastoral care program.
Since the School’s earliest days, there has been a close association between Launceston Grammar and St John’s Anglican Church in Launceston. The School continues to hold a number of their School and community events at St John's, and some members of the School community are involved in their Sunday services and Friday evening youth program.
Students who are looking to go deeper in their faith or to explore questions about faith and life or the Bible have opportunities to do so in lunch time groups, camps, a retreat program and numerous Christian service activities. Members of the School community, particularly parents, meet each fortnight at the Junior Campus to pray for the School.
Students are actively encouraged to help people in need within the School community, the local community, through Anglicare as well as other partner organisations, and our global community.
Welcome to Launceston Church Grammar School, a school that holds a unique place in the Australian education scene as its oldest continuously operating independent day and boarding school. It is a privilege and an honour to be serving as the 21st Principal of this remarkable school.
At Grammar we know we must nurture, challenge, and inspire each other to lead fulfilled lives. This is why we provide our learners with exceptional opportunities that enable them to develop their character and identity as well as their learning.
When your child joins us at Grammar, our experienced and dedicated staff will collaborate with them in designing and delivering learning experiences which enable them to thrive. At the same time, wellbeing is at the forefront of what we do, because we know how pivotal it is to your child's success. We will prioritise understanding your child and what influences their capacity to learn as we welcome them into the Grammar village and ensure they experience engagement and agency in their learning journey.
We are a community where each person is known and valued, an ethos shaped by our Anglican tradition. We are a compassionate and safe place of learning where we love unconditionally so as to include and extend respect and dignity to others.
I invite you to explore our village and look forward to meeting with you.

Launceston Grammar acknowledges and pays respect to the traditional custodians of the land on which our School stands, the Palawa people.
We recognise their deep connection and ongoing relationship with this country. We honor the Palawa Elders, past and present, and as a learning community, express our gratitude for their wisdom, knowledge, and custodianship over this land for millennia.
As members of the Grammar community, we commit ourselves to fostering a spirit of reconciliation, understanding, and appreciation for the rich cultural heritage of the Palawa people.
Through this acknowledgment, we seek to deepen our understanding of Aboriginal culture, promote reconciliation, and ensure that their history and ongoing connection to land are acknowledged and respected by all who walk through the Grammar gates.
