Mamre Anglican School

Mamre Anglican School is a co-educational Prep-12 day school with Year 11 beginning in 2015 and proceeding to Year 12 in 2016, based on current growth.
The school is committed to achieving high academic outcomes for its students in addition to growth in understanding of the Christian faith.

Parents and students need not be Anglican. However, they must be supportive of the school’s Christian philosophy and practice.
The School is owned and supported by the Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation and operational policy is vested in a Board of Governors.
Daily operational matters, including staffing and the various educational programs are the responsibility of the Headmaster.

The School’s Mission

“A Christian School striving for academic excellence and a love of Jesus.”
MAS seeks to develop the uniqueness that is in every child.
We want students to use their gifts to serve the Lord and the Australian community.
MAS strives to equip students with the personal, academic and technological skills to excel in their chosen fields.
Students are encouraged to grow towards leadership in their families, communities and in the workplace.

Curriculum
Our school offers a Christian perspective in all teaching programs within the context of the NSW Board of Studies curricula.
The school provides programs in all Key Learning Areas from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12.

The school concentrates on the fundamentals of a good education: literacy and numeracy, because they are foundational to all learning.


Over the last four years Mamre has grown rapidly. The policy of the school is to develop full classes and then break them down into smaller groups which then make room for further growth.
Where classes are in need of additional support, either because of numbers or the particular needs of students, we are in the habit of providing additional aides in the classroom.
Essentially the school is still on a path of growth so that the actual number in a class cannot be stipulated until that growth is complete. Finally our policy ensures that, with additional support, no child is left to their own devices.



The School endeavours to foster in all students an appreciation of the creative arts.
Consequently Music, Visual Arts, Dance and Drama are taught to all students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
From Year 3 all students learn a musical instrument.
Visiting music tutors provide tuition in a variety of instruments.
The school is a member of C.S.S.A. (Christian Schools Sports Association).
Students are given the opportunity to represent the School in a number of team sports and in Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country.
In addition, each student from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 10 participates regularly in Physical Education lessons.
