John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School

JSRACS is a dynamic co-educational Anglican School located in Mirrabooka, approximately 10km from the Perth CBD. We offer a broad, high-quality education to students from diverse backgrounds. We embrace the educational challenges and opportunities of the future, as each student is encouraged to explore their spiritual, intellectual, social, physical and creative capacities.

Our Aspiration

Our aspiration is for JSRACS students to be architects of their lives, looking beyond the ordinary to achieve the extraordinary and making a difference in the world in which they live. In encouraging our students to reach their potential, we emphasise creating a dynamic teaching and learning environment, both within and outside the classroom.

Campus Facilities

Our campus's facilities and grounds are of an exceptionally high standard. The gardens and buildings are well-maintained and attractive, and the school provides a sophisticated technological environment.

Our campus caters for students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 in a carefully structured learning environment. The Primary has science and art facilities, an oval, playgrounds, and a gymnasium. Many classrooms feature large break-out spaces where students can gather to work creatively and energetically. We have recently completed our new Early Learning Centre, naturescape playground, and specialist suites to cater for our external and internal support, including speech therapists, Autism Australia, Occupational Therapists and Psychologists.

The Middle Years of Schooling boasts a Years 7 and 8 Learning Community with 12 classrooms. The Senior Learning Centre is a two-storey purpose-built facility with 12 classrooms for senior secondary students. In addition, we recently completed building a state-of-the-art Year 9 and 10 building that complements the existing facilities and creates a new specialist learning space.

These buildings cater specifically to the needs of young adolescents and complement the facilities of the whole secondary school, including a Performing Arts Centre with a 200-seat theatre, dance studio and specialist music classrooms; a gymnasium with two indoor courts, a weight centre and climbing wall; four hard courts and two ovals; a media centre, commercial kitchens in the Food and Technology Centre; an Industrial Arts Centre equipped with CAD computers; and a bright and spacious two-storey library.

Our Specialist Programs

Pursuing personal excellence is set as a goal for all students, particularly participants in the school’s specialist programs.

Our Specialist Programs pay specific attention to the needs and interests of all JSRACS students. These programs aim to diversify the learning at JSRACS and further enhance the strong community at our School.

The current specialist programs offered at JSRACS include Basketball, Gifted and Talented, Performing Arts, and Cadets.

Community

We are proud to have a strong, diverse community at JSRACS with a close-knit group of students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12.

Our Senior students will often take opportunities to spend time in Primary School and work with our Primary students. Our Senior students constantly lead with positive examples and are fantastic role models for our Primary students to follow in their footsteps.

With an Anglicare Ambassadors and Service Learning program, our students have endless opportunities to develop the skills to be the changemakers of the future.

Pathways

JSRACS understands that not everyone is suited to the 'traditional' senior school pathway and that in order for our students to achieve success, we need to provide a learning pathway that suits their learning needs and future aspirations.

We have six senior school pathways for our students to explore, including:
ATAR
General Pathway
Careerlink Pathway
Hospitality Pathway
Trade Preparation Pathway and
Curtin UniReady Pathway.

Through these pathways, we see students achieve their personal best through academic excellence, completing Certificate II, III, or IV, gaining apprenticeships and valuable work and life experiences, and leaving JSRACS with a strong focus on their future careers and further education.
