Griffin's Tales - What's in a name?

Did you know our School hasn’t always been called St Mark’s Anglican Community School?

When we first opened, our name was The Anglican Community School of St Mark — quite the mouthful!

In August 1991, School Council proposed a change to the name we know today. Council approved the idea in principle and, importantly, asked that families be consulted. When the parent body was surveyed, the response was overwhelmingly supportive.

By September 1991, the motion was formally moved and seconded, with approval then sought from the Anglican Schools Commission (as it was known at the time, now AngliSchools). Once that formal tick was received, the change became official in 1992.

And just like that, St Mark’s Anglican Community School was born.

A small shift in wording — but a meaningful moment in our history as we continued to shape our identity as a growing community.
