Our School

About Southern Cross Grammar

At Southern Cross Grammar (SCG), we are a modern, vibrant school with a clear purpose: to deliver tailored learning that maximises each student's strengths and abilities, to create independent and healthy learners, and to build bright futures.

From Foundation to Year 12, our curriculum is designed to empower students to take ownership of their learning, embrace creativity, and pursue excellence. Our learning structure is personalised and flexible, ensuring that every student has the opportunity to thrive in areas they are passionate about while being challenged to grow in new directions.

We believe that learning extends beyond the classroom. Through authentic, real-world experiences, our students develop critical thinking, resilience, and collaboration skills that prepare them for a rapidly changing world. Whether through our innovative academies, specialist pathways, or co-curricular opportunities, SCG students are encouraged to explore, question, and contribute with confidence.

Our culture is built on strong connections between students, families, and staff. Together, we foster an environment of respect, inclusivity, and ambition - where students feel supported to achieve their personal best and inspired to make a difference.

At SCG, we are proud to design and deliver high-impact, human-centred learning that sparks curiosity, fuels ambition, and prepares our students to thrive on the world stage.
