IS YOUR CHILD STARTING YEAR 7 IN 2024? Mamre Anglican School's successful Peer Support Program is just one way we smooth your child's transition to high school. - Our three day Year 7 Orientation Program in November of Year 6 helps them make new friends and familiarise themselves with the routines they will experience in Year 7 and beyond. - Our Year 7 Core Program provides linkages across subjects enabling deeper inquiry based learning. - House based Connect Groups provide a sense of belonging and identity for students as they undertake our social and emotional learning program (SEL). We are welcoming prospective and current families to our Year 7 2024 Information Expo on Monday 1 May from 7.00pm to 8.30pm. Tours of the school are also available and can be booked on our website. This short video by Peer Support Australia showcases Mamre Anglican School's Peer Support Program from last year. #mamrelearning

HIGH ACHIEVERS // We welcomed some of our 2022 HSC High Achievers and their families to celebrate their achievements at our special Principal’s Assembly today. Inspiring speeches were given by Mrs Graydon, Dux Imogen Coward and State Member Mrs Tanya Davies MP. Our Senior School students were encouraged to set the bar high, to be themselves, and to not wait for things to get easy - instead, to exercise our Mamre values of Tenacity and Courage to do and be their best even when things are hard. #mamrelearning
