Dear
Visitor,
Welcome
to the web site for Great Southern Grammar.
I
am delighted to have been appointed as the third Headmaster
of Great Southern Grammar.
My
work in education spans over 23 years with much of the
past decade spent in establishing an outstanding P-12
coeducational, independent school in Queensland.
As
a family, we are excited about moving to Albany, and my
wife Wendy, and children, Reuben, Phoebe and Tate, look
forward to being involved in school and community life.
A
school should be a place of inspiration and on visiting
Great Southern Grammar, I was immediately impressed by
the tone, ethos and culture of the School. The campus
occupies one hundred acres of waterfront land on Oyster
Harbour and provides an outstanding learning environment.
Great
Southern Grammar is developing an excellent reputation
for the quality of its facilities, programs and staff.
There is a culture of achievement in the School and there
is evidence of excellence in a range of academic, cultural
and sporting pursuits. I am impressed with the depth and
breadth of learning across the curriculum.
The
Christian Foundation of the School ensures that attention
is given to the spiritual and personal development of
each student and it is hoped that graduates of the School
will demonstrate values of compassion and tolerance and
contribute to their community and society in the future.
As
a school, we seek to provide opportunities for students
to grow in knowledge and wisdom and to ensure that each
student develops a love of learning that they will carry
with them beyond their school days.
For
those students living outside of the Albany community,
an outstanding boarding program is available and students
are supported by a committed and caring staff.
In
summary, our commitment is:
•
To provide our students with a broad and balanced education
by experiencing as many learning areas as possible
•
To encourage and enable students to recognise and value
their gifts and talents and to develop these in appropriate
ways
•
To encourage students to explore issues of faith and spirituality
through their exposure to Christian teachings within the
context of a modern society.
I
can think of no better school than Great Southern Grammar,
the School of the Sea and I look forward to
working with you and your children.
Kind
Regards
Stuart
Marquardt, B.Ed, Dip Teach, MACE, MACEL
Headmaster
