About All Saints’

All Saints’ College is one of WA’s leading coeducational independent schools, catering to students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. With a focus on developing students as individuals to become confident global citizens, the College’s innovative and future-focused approach to education allows students and staff to explore diverse pathways and opportunities.

Situated on Gabbiljee (Bull Creek), the College’s vast and landscaped 19-hectare property features state-of-the-art facilities, integrated natural environments, contemporary learning spaces, and unique community spaces for connecting and sharing including the College café, Wanju. ASC staff members form a core part of the diverse and welcoming College community, and, along with our students, parents and community members, contribute to that ‘All Saints’ feeling’—where diversity is celebrated, individuals bring their best selves, and learning through failing (or ‘flearning’) is encouraged.

Our mission

All Saints’ College, in partnership with its families, community and the Anglican Church, empowers students to develop their potential, becoming confident, compassionate and committed to worthwhile service to the local and global communities.

Our vision

Making a positive difference in our world

Our values

Empathy: seeking to understand the perspective and experience of others
Respect: for self and others, for community and environment
Integrity: acting with moral strength and grace, guided by humility and compassion
Courage: to be our best selves

The Perks

At ASC we understand that balancing work and family commitments can sometimes be challenging, and so we have implemented a number of strategies to support our staff as they manage their work/life balance. Staff with school-aged children are offered free before- and after-school care, and vacation care is provided during periods of school holidays, also free of charge, for the children of staff members who are required to work at these times. We also understand that members of our staff may need to attend to matters of a private nature from time to time, so our ‘Temporary Absence Policy’ enables staff to be absent from the workplace for up to two hours during the working day (without any deductions from leave accruals) to attend to such matters.

We offer a broad range of other benefits to attract and retain outstanding staff, including:

Salary packaging





Deferred salary scheme (work 4 years and take the 5th year as leave)

Generous long service leave entitlements

Free onsite parking

Access to high level professional development (PD), including attendance at interstate and international events.

Financial support to undertake academic studies.

All our staff – teaching, administration, and support – are committed to the welfare of our students, and to providing a warm, supportive, caring and challenging environment that encourages creative and critical thinking.
