Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to Bacchus Marsh Grammar.

Choosing a school is one of the most important decisions a family makes. We work in partnership with parents to provide a structured and supportive learning environment where every student is challenged and encouraged to do their best. As someone who has had the privilege of being part of this school community for over 20 years, I can confidently say that our school is not just a place of learning, it is a place where lifelong relationships are formed, values are instilled and futures are shaped.

Since our founding in 1988, we have maintained a clear commitment to providing a quality and affordable education to students west of Melbourne. Our mission is to equip students with the knowledge, skills and character they need to develop successful adult lives. We believe this is best achieved through explicit teaching, high expectations and a calm and consistent approach to learning. We want every student to feel supported, while also being guided to take pride in their effort, behaviour and achievement.

Our core values and the way we work together as a school remain at the heart of everything we do. As Principal, I am committed to providing continuity, stability and clear direction, one that reflects what our families value most: purposeful learning, consistent expectations and a culture where students are known, supported and encouraged to thrive.

We continue to grow, with our two campuses working in tandem to provide a seamless educational experience. Our Maddingley Campus offers Prep to Year 12, and our Woodlea Campus offers ELC to Year 12. Regardless of campus, every student benefits from the same high standards, nurturing environment and support.

If you are new to our school, or exploring the right learning environment for your child, I encourage you to explore our website and, most importantly, arrange a visit. There is no better way to understand what we offer than to see the school in action. Thank you for your ongoing trust and support.
