History
In 1967, a small group of volunteers, led by the bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Bunbury, Bishop Ralph Hawkins, organized the creation of an Anglican, co-educational day and boarding school. Bunbury Cathedral Grammar School became operational in 1972, with an enrolment of 78 students.[6]
The school has published a magazine called the Grammarian quarterly.
Dr Bruce Matthews was the headmaster at the school from 1998 to 2011, when he left to take up a position on the inaugural board of the newly formed School Curriculum and Standards Authority.[7] The headmaster that replaced Matthews was Mike Giles[8] who joined the school in late 2011 from Great Southern Grammar.[9]
Academics
The school has produced two Rhodes scholars: M. W. Rennie (1983) and Rachel Paterson (2012).[10]
The school has performed well in the WACE exams and has consistently rated in the top 50 schools in the state, the top school in the South West and often is the top regional school in the state.
