Our History

Our History

Lakes Grammar – An Anglican School was established in 2004, opening with just over 150 students. From 2004 to mid-2021, Mr Michael Hannah served as the founding Principal. This was a period of significant growth for the school, including the construction of our purpose-built Senior School campus.

In June 2021, Mrs Deborah Clancy commenced as the second Principal of Lakes Grammar, leading with care and vision through changing times. Her leadership continued to strengthen the school’s academic programs, wellbeing framework, and sense of community.

In July 2025, Mr Richard Wheeldon became the third Principal of Lakes Grammar. With over 20 years of experience in independent, faith-based education, Mr Wheeldon brings a passion for inclusive learning environments where all students are empowered to flourish. His appointment marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for our school, as we continue to grow and evolve in service of our students, families, and wider community.
