About

I welcome you to Launceston Church Grammar School, a school that holds a unique place in the Australian education scene as its oldest continuous day and boarding school. It is a privilege and an honour to be serving as the 21^st Principal of this remarkable school.

At Grammar, we are more than the sum of our parts. We work with our students to give them the skills for a high-performing life. We challenge them to be impressive people who desire to make a positive impact on the lives of others. We do this because human life is precious. At Grammar we know we must nurture, challenge, and inspire each other to lead fulfilled lives.

We provide our learners with exceptional opportunities that enable them to develop their character and identity. We believe that extraordinary individuals know that their imagination, curiosity and creativity are gifts. They also know that their ability to think ethically and critically is integral to life’s success.

A Grammar education be it in the classroom, on the stage, on the field, in the great outdoors or beyond the shores of lutruwita, enables this aspiration for each learner to be realised.

Our experienced and dedicated staff collaborate with students designing and delivering learning experiences which enable each child to thrive. We value well-being and its pivotal role in life success. At the heart of all great learning is great relationships.

Our students are known. We prioritise understanding each child and what influences their capacity to learn and the importance of belonging to the Grammar village. This strengthening of bonds ensures that our learners experience engagement and have agency in their learning journey.

Grammar is a school that understands its responsibility to the learners of today. We are a caring and daring community with a distinctive educational offering.

We are ONE community where each person is known and valued. Our Anglican tradition informs and shapes our values. We are a compassionate and safe place of learning. We love unconditionally so we may be inclusive and demonstrate respect to others. We recognise the human dignity of each person, and our behaviours and expectations are held to account by these values for life.

I invite you to explore our village and look forward to meeting with you.

Dale Bennett

Launceston Grammar Principal
