John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School (JSRACS) is a dual campus private school in Perth, Western Australia named after the notable West Australian John Septimus Roe.
The first campus originally named Thomas Scott Anglican Community School located in Beechboro, was created in 1990 by taking over the old Northside Christian School at the request of the State Government. The second campus located in Mirrabooka, was opened in 1992, and existed as a combined primary and secondary school campus.
While in the beginning the two schools shared the same administration and school council, there existed a separate cultural identity. As such in 1996, Thomas Scott Anglican Community School was renamed John Septimus Roe Anglican Community School to mark the new concept of “two campuses, one school”.
Today the primary school campus at Beechboro and primary/secondary campus in Mirrabooka has a student population of nearly 2000 students from kindergarten to Year 12 making it the largest Anglican School in Western Australia.
