SMLS is an Anglican-Based School that Fosters Inclusion & Diversity
SMLS is an Anglican-based school and welcomes students from every faith. We foster and encourage inclusivity and diversity within our school community. Our Anglican roots and traditions are reflected in weekly Chapel and three yearly Eucharist services, as well as religious studies in Junior School. Students in Grades 1 to Grad Year are required to attend Chapel and Eucharist services, and participation in communion is voluntary.
At Chapel, we celebrate both our Anglican roots and world religions and cultures, so that we may develop an understanding of the diversity represented by each student within our school community. Chapel also includes important school announcements and presentations, as well as celebrations of student achievements.
