2024 Open Days have now concluded.
2025 Open Day dates will be advertised here at the beginning of the new year.
GIPPSLAND Grammar will host three Open Days in March, offering families the opportunity to discover the advantages of the complete ELC-to-VCE education offered at the leading independent school’s three campuses. We invite you to register your attendance below.
Gippsland Grammar’s Bairnsdale Campus includes an Early Learning Centre (ELC) offering three and four-year-old kindergarten programs and will be on show for interested families on Saturday 16 March from 9-11am.
In Sale, the School’s historic junior St Anne’s Campus – which also includes an ELC offering three and four-year-old kindergarten programs as well as a Foundation-Year 6 campus – will host its Open Day on Saturday 23 March from 9-11am. The senior Garnsey Campus (Years 7-12) on the Princes Highway will also be open on Saturday 23 March from 11:30am-1:30pm.
While Gippsland Grammar is one school, each campus has its own personality that families can explore during the Open Day events. Located on the banks of Clifton Creek, the Bairnsdale Campus is a growing community with a rural feel that includes campus chickens and a therapy dog. St Anne’s Campus is the historic heart of the School and is known for its red brick buildings and rich history, while Garnsey Campus is dominated by a huge expanse of green open spaces and state-of-the-art facilities including the new Art & Design Centre.
Gippsland Grammar Principal Michele Wakeham will be joined by members of the School’s Leadership Team at the Open Days, which includes Deputy Principal Bo Power, Head of Bairnsdale Campus Virginia Evans, Head of St Anne’s Campus Jie Van Berkel and Head of Garnsey Campus Rohan Jayatilake. Student leaders and teachers will also be on hand to share their expertise and first-hand experiences.
A highlight of the Bairnsdale and St Anne’s Campus Open Days will be the opportunity for families to explore the ELCs, which both offer a three-year-old ‘Reception’ program and a four-year-old ‘Transition’ program and are notable for their age-appropriate programs and both rated as ‘exceeding’ the National Quality Standard.
At Garnsey, all departments will be represented, including the School’s exceptional Rowing Program, Performing Arts Department and Year 9 program.
Gippsland Grammar has more than 1100 students enrolled across its three campuses in Sale and Bairnsdale and includes a Boarding House with full-time and casual options and private daily bus options for students from East Gippsland, Latrobe Valley and Yarram district.
