Record enrolments drive Alphington Grammar’s next phase of development

·

With record enrolments and growing waiting lists at all levels, Alphington Grammar School is going from strength to strength. Over the past decade, the School has deservedly earnt its place as a destination school for families seeking a co-educational independent school education for their child.

The School is proud of its academic success coupled with its focus on the pastoral care and wellbeing of its students. 

“The foundation of a strong education is for everyone to experience success,” Principal Dr Vivianne Nikou said. “Our students have the opportunity to live the values and culture of our School through real world experiences both in and out of the classroom.

“Students live our Hellenic values from 3-year-old Kindergarten where students are immersed in Greek language and cultural activities alongside their numeracy and literacy programs, Music, Physical Education, Art and our unique Bush Kinder program. Students participate in the Greek Band, Greek Choir and Greek Dancing throughout the year levels. 

“In Secondary School the students all participate in the International Gateways program which this year sees 60 students and 8 staff visit Turkey, Gallipoli and Greece including our inter-school exchange with Voula High School in Athens and our School program with the children at the bilingual kindergarten in Ioannina.”

Chair of School Council, Michael Karamitos, added, “With the increase in student numbers, the School Council has undertaken to progress the staged strategic development of the site which will see us take possession of a purpose-built facility with six classrooms, additional staff areas, counsellors offices and the relocation of the Hellenic Heritage Centre by the start of the 2026 academic year.”

Greek Community of Melbourne (GCM) President Bill Papastergiadis OAM said, “The new infrastructure and classrooms are critical to Alphington Grammar’s continued success. These modern classrooms equipped with updated furniture and technology contribute directly to student comfort, concentration and ultimately to academic performance.”

“Equally, Alphington is accommodating growing enrolment, a product of the School’s excellent standards and reputation… This development highlights the community growth of the School in meeting the needs of our community engagement and outreach. The GCM is proud of the Principal, the School Chair and the School Board in facilitating this,” Mr Papastergiadis added.

The GCM has endorsed the continued strategic development of Alphington Grammar. The Foundation members of the School are proud of the bold decision made 36 years ago to embark on building a visionary School that has embraced its cultural roots in such an innovative way.
