Thank you for your interest in Penleigh and Essendon Grammar School.
At PEGS, our community is guided by our core values of Respect, Excellence, Accountability, Curiosity, and Heart, together known as REACH. These values shape everything we do and underpin our commitment to nurturing well-rounded, thoughtful young people.
Our dedication to excellence is balanced by deep respect for each student’s individual abilities and circumstances. Through our two pillars, Culture of Thinking and Care and Wellbeing, we foster a supportive, inclusive, and collaborative environment where accountability and heart are central to student growth.
Learning at PEGS takes many forms. We challenge students intellectually while nurturing their social and emotional development, empowering them with the resilience and courage to face challenges head on. We invite students to live with heart, caring for themselves, their peers, their learning, and the wider community both locally and globally.
We encourage curiosity by guiding students to become critical, creative, and ethical thinkers who approach the world with kindness and compassion. Our students eagerly embrace the diverse academic and co-curricular opportunities available, finding their own paths to personal and academic achievement, whether on the drama stage, sporting field, in the choir, classroom, or beyond.
As we prepare students for a rapidly changing
future, we honour our rich traditions while fostering adaptability and a lifelong love of learning. We believe that strong partnerships between school and home support wellbeing and success, and we warmly welcome your interest.
Please contact us with any questions or to arrange a tour of our school community.
