St. Mark's Anglican Community School is a co-educational day school in Perth, Western Australia. It is on an 11 hectare site on St. Mark's Drive in Perth's northern suburb of Hillarys, on the former Red Cattle Ridge site.
The school was officially opened in 1986 with Barbara Godwin as the first principal.[1] As of 2018, the principal is Steven Davies and the school has nearly 200 staff and 1580 students ranging from kindergarten to Year 12.[2]
The primary and secondary schools are divided into four houses: Carnley, Challen, Moyes and Watkins, named after people who were key in the establishment of the school: Peter Carnley was Archbishop of Perth from 1981 to 2005, Michael Challen was an assistant bishop of Perth, Peter Moyes was headmaster of Christ Church Grammar School, and Glynn Watkins was an educator and administrator for over 40 years.[3]
The school has an Old Scholars' Association for past students, however it has not issued any new memberships since 2014.[4]
