St Paul's Anglican Grammar School is a coeducational Anglican independent school founded in 1982 in Warragul, Victoria, Australia. St Paul's is a member of the GIS and ICCES school association bodies.
St Paul's is located across three campuses in Warragul. The main campus is located on Bowen Street and has the Senior (Years 7 - 12) and Junior School Campus (Kindergarten to Year 6). A third campus, the 'rope factory', is also located in Warragul which is designed to house the separate Year 9 program.
Finally, a fifth site is located in Traralgon. It was founded in 2002 and houses students from Kindergarten to Year 9, with the opening of year 10 in 2011.
St Paul's was founded by a group of local parents in 1982, and began teaching classes in Sunday School rooms on the premises of the local Anglican Church in Warragul . The school's founding teacher was Ken Wilson, who remains a current member of staff, and the founding principal was Dr Des Parker; many parents assisted the school during its inception as staff members, some of whom remain as members of staff. .
Through its life St Paul's has been governed by four principals. The first was Mr Des Parker who served from the school's inception to 1993. At this point Richard Prideaux took over as principal, and would continue to serve the school for fourteen years before stepping down at the end of the school year in 2006. The next principal was Mark Robertson, who was the principal of the school until June 2010 at which point he tendered his resignation. Lisa Moloney was installed as principal in February, 2011 with Mike Clapper currently the Executive Principal of both St Paul's and Gippsland Grammar School in Sale.
The history of the first 25 years of the school was published in 2007 as No Ordinary Days by author Laele Pepper. This book covers all aspects of the foundation and the school, its growth into a five campus school, special programmes, sporting achievements and contributions by parents and friends. It also contains a comprehensive staff list to 1982-2007 and a full list of alumni from 1982 to 2007. Copies of the book are available through the school.
