ASSG Students in Halse Hall for lunch

At All Souls St Gabriels School, our rich history is deeply intertwined with a commitment to developing future generations.

Guided by our motto "Servire Regnare"—to serve is to reign—we honour the sacrifice of young Australian lives by ensuring that each new generation receives a sound, all-encompassing education.

Rooted in the ideal of educating the Whole Person—Mind, Body, and Spirit—this philosophy, connects us to centuries-old traditions introduced by our founding Brother Headmaster Reginald Charles Halse.

While we honour our past, our vision is forward-looking. Our traditions inspire ambition, creating a learning environment that blends time-honoured values with modern innovation.
