Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School started as paddocks nestled amongst the bush in Gelorup and has grown to be a thriving community, still surrounded by bush on the original campus in Gelorup.
Officially opened on Tuesday, 8 February, 1972, the origins of the School can be traced back to 1967. The School has been at the forefront of education and innovation, being one of Australia’s first independent, Anglican, co-educational Boarding school’s offering Primary and Secondary education. We look forward to celebrating 50 Years of providing children of the South West with an outstanding all round education in the unique setting that is our School.
The School in the Bush – A history of Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School 1972-2022
The School has worked with author and historian, Richard Offen, to compile a history of the School, celebrating many of the significant events and people that have helped to shape our School. Pre-orders for the publication will be taken, with the book to be available in Term 2, 2022.
Glimpses of Grammar
