Great Southern Grammar is more than
the sum of its parts: students, staff, facilities,
curriculum, and parents. There is a strong sense of
community that demonstrates a place of belonging, and a
joint sense of purpose. The values and ideals upheld by
the school encourage activities that benefit
students.
There are partnerships with local sporting and business
organisations and links with industry and community
groups that allow extra opportunities for collaboration
and development of mutually beneficial projects.
There are still places available for swim lessons
during term 2, 2013. Further details and information can
be obtained by contacting our Swim School Manager, Nola
Osborne, directly on telephone number 9844 2274 or email
nolao@albany.wa.gov.au .
