“Stomen Kalos” (Let us Stand Well) is the motto of the All Saints Greek Orthodox Grammar School, or simply (ASG). It is an independent, Greek Orthodox Christian, co-educational day school. It was founded in Belmore, New South Wales, Australia, by the Greek community in 1990. All Saints has a non-selective enrollment policy. It currently caters to approximately 660 students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. All Saints Grammar maintains a Greek Orthodox Christian ethos. The school accepts students from other cultural/ethnic or religious backgrounds, and does not exclusively enroll only Greek Orthodox children which is a common misconception.
Sydney-based architectural firm Candalepas Associates undertook the construction of All Saints Grammar. Candalepas Associates coordinated with the local Greek Orthodox community to plan and develop a new $7.3 million dollar building as an engaging, energetic area to best educate its students. The team began by choosing particular materials and methods of construction to achieve a specific sense of robustness, moderated by chromatic warmth and a poetic playfulness that would fit in perfectly with an educational institution, utilizing many different energy efficient materials. These little loving touches blend with more noticeable ones to create a school unique in style and structure.
In 2009 All Saints Primary School won the top Sulman Award for Public Architecture.
