Calrossy Anglican School

can go home. Also, unusually but inspiringly, the school sometimes makes every effort to attend events in some of its students’ hometown, as a lot of the time, parents cannot afford the time to attend events at the school itself. In boarding they maintain contact with all families on a regular basis, understanding the massive commitment these families make in leaving their children in the hands of Calrossy. All boarding staff are hugely accessible, and are available to contact throughout day. This no doubt gives that essential peace of mind to concerned parents. “That’s been a nice part of the boarding situation here – the time we have for people,” Mrs Coe tells us. Staff Calrossy employs 240 staff, where half are teachers and half are in support and operations roles. A good number of these support and operations staff are involved with boarding, while many of the teachers kindly volunteer their own time to provide afterschool tutoring to many of the students. Calrossy’s staff are likewise part of the tight-knit Calrossy family, where their wellbeing is as important as the wellbeing of the students they watch over. The school also makes sure its staff are given extensive training to broaden their personal and professional development to ensure competency and growth. One example? Calrossy is a part of the Australian Boarding Schools Association and requires its staff to complete the association’s “Duty Of Care” certificate. For what lies ahead As a Christian school, Calrossy is keenly aware of the need to maintain its relevance in an increasingly secular western world. Technology
