AngliSchools, formerly known as the Anglican Schools Commission (ASC), was established in 1985, following the passage of a resolution by the Perth Diocesan Synod of the Anglican Church of Australia. [1] It was given the role of creating affordable Christian education in the Anglican tradition that is accessible to the disadvantaged and children with disabilities. There are over 2500 staff and 17500 students in AngliSchools schools as of 2024. [2]

Since its establishment, AngliSchools has founded or acquired sixteen schools, initially in Western Australia, and has expanded into Victoria and New South Wales since 1998. AngliSchools does not directly control its member schools, but rather each school is governed by its own school council drawn from church, parent and community sources. Instead, AngliSchools lays down policies and procedures in a wide range of areas, most of which relate to education and management.
AngliSchools is headquartered in the Perth suburb of Mount Claremont on the campus of Wollaston Theological College. [3] The Reverend Peter Laurence OAM is the CEO of AngliSchools, and is under the oversight of The Most Reverend Kay Goldsworthy AO, Archbishop of Perth. [4]
