Gippsland Grammar will host three open days in 2025, offering families the opportunity to discover the advantages of the complete ELC-to-VCE education offered at the leading independent school’s three campuses.
In Sale, the school’s historic junior St Anne’s Campus – which also includes an Early Learning Centre offering three and four-year-old kindergarten programs as well as a foundation-year six campus – will host its open day on Saturday, March 29, from 9-11am. The senior Garnsey Campus (years 7-12) on the Princes Highway will also be open the same day from 11.30am-1.30pm.
That means families from across Gippsland can explore the school’s complete ELC-to-VCE offering in Sale in a single day.
The school’s Bairnsdale Campus also includes an Early Learning Centre (ELC) offering three and four-year-old kindergarten programs and will be on show for interested families on Saturday, May 3 from 9-11am.
Principal Michele Wakeham will be joined students, teachers and members of the school’s leadership team at the open days, including deputy principal Bo Power, director of learning Lori Field, head of Bairnsdale campus Virginia Evans, head of St Anne’s campus Jie Van Berkel and head of Garnsey campus Rohan Jayatilake.
A highlight of the Bairnsdale and St Anne’s campus open days will be the opportunity for families to explore the ELCs, which are notable for their age-appropriate programs and both rated as ‘exceeding’ the National Quality Standard.
At Garnsey, Blackwood House (the school’s boarding house) will be on display along with the rowing program, performing arts department and the exceptional year nine program.
Gippsland Grammar has more than 1100 students enrolled across its three campuses in Sale and Bairnsdale and includes a boarding house with full-time and casual options and private daily bus options for students from East Gippsland, Latrobe Valley and Yarram district.
Gippsland Grammar is also currently offering substantial scholarships.
