St Luke's Grammar School

What St Luke's Grammar School does

St Luke's Grammar School is an independent, co-educational Anglican K-12 institution located on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Founded in 1963 and operating under ABN 63 544 529 806, the school delivers education from Pre-Kindergarten (Cottage program) through Year 12 across three physical campuses: Dee Why Senior School, Dee Why Junior School, and Bayview Junior School. The school's educational model is built on three articulated pillars: a Christian Foundation anchored by the motto 'Christ our Light', Learning Excellence through the proprietary Learning@STLUKE'S framework, and Student Wellbeing, supported by pastoral care, service learning, and outdoor education programs.

The core product is a continuous, multi-year education program that includes HSC preparation, NAPLAN-assessed academic instruction, sport, performing arts, activities and clubs, and service learning initiatives such as the international LIGHT Tours. Operations are supported by a dedicated enrolment portal (enrol.stlukes.nsw.edu.au), a parent/student portal (portal.stlukes.nsw.edu.au), and digital channels including Facebook and Instagram. The school is led by Principal Geoff Lancaster and governed under an active Strategic Plan covering 2023-2027.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through tuition fees, with separate 2026 fee schedules published for the Bayview and Dee Why campuses. The school is affiliated with the Anglican Schools network and participates in the Anglican School Corporation Intern Program for trainee teachers. It is privately held, has no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no institutional investment, and does not publicly disclose its financials. The headcount stands at 123 employees, consistent with a mid-sized Australian independent school.
