John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School

What John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School does

John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School (JSR) is an independent Anglican co-educational school operating as a private not-for-profit educational institution in Mirrabooka, Perth, Western Australia. Founded in 1989 and part of the AngliSchools network, the school delivers a Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12 educational pathway to approximately 1,800 students from Perth's northern suburbs. The offering is structured across four current sub-schools (Early Learning, Primary, Middle, Senior) and is transitioning in 2027 to a three sub-school model (Primary Pre-K to Year 4, Middle Year 5 to Year 8, Senior Year 9 to Year 12). Specialist programmes include Elite Basketball, Specialist Dance, Cadets (River Rangers, Bush Rangers, Emergency Services), and Performing Arts; co-curricular offerings span international exchanges with Indonesia and China, camps, and the Catalyst23 service learning programme. Support services include Out of School Care, Vacation Care, and a community Playgroup for children aged 0-4.

The business model is tuition-driven subscription recurring revenue: families pay annual fees across four school terms, ranging from $5,460 (Kindergarten 5 full days) to $9,180 (Years 10-12), with sibling discounts, scholarships (Academic, Community, Leadership, Elite Basketball, Specialist Dance, ADF James Martin) and Australian Government subsidies applied. Ancillary revenue streams include enrolment fees ($900 for first child, scaling down for subsequent children), the WCBC private bus service at $2.00 per trip across five northern-suburb routes, the Tara Uniforms shop on campus, and fees for music tuition, camps, and international tours. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer with an open-entry enrolment journey comprising optional tours, registration of interest, Principal interview, and offer acceptance; sibling priority governs waiting pool allocation.

The technology stack consists entirely of third-party school administration platforms with no proprietary AI or ML components: SEQTA (parent communication, fee management and attendance), EDVAL Choice (Year 7 subject selection), RollCall (bus tracking), Hubworks/iPay (OSC and Vacation Care bookings), Consent2Go (excursion consent), ClassCover (relief staff recruitment), Tara Uniforms (retail), Microsoft Outlook and Forms, SmartRider (transport), and Heyzine (Parent Handbook). Distribution is concentrated on a single 12 km-from-Perth-CBD campus at 2 Boyare Avenue, Mirrabooka, with on-site St Paul's Anglican Chapel and the OSC building co-located. Governance is via a School Council with community representation, under strategic oversight of the AngliSchools Board; no private equity or venture capital ownership is indicated.
