Senior School

The Secondary School, Years 7-12
High academic standards result from building enthusiasm in students and from the strong individual commitment of staff. Staff members work in a co-operative environment to ensure the smooth progress of students through the various learning stages. Curriculum emphasis changes to reflect changes in students' needs.

Our students are positively motivated and rewards for achievement are plentiful. Staff are highly qualified and liaise through a network of caring to promote the best interests of each girl.

We aim to give the best educational experiences providing students with a strong foundation to grow in knowledge, establish self-confidence and succeed. We focus on individual and co-operative learning as well as mastering study and research techniques. Strong communication and presentation skills, together with an awareness of the world around them, give students the best possible preparation for an independent, achieving future.

Year 7
Year 7 is a special time in a student's life. The challenges of high school are numerous, especially the challenge of developing effective organization skills. We provide strong support mechanisms so that students can effect these changes smoothly (see Pastoral Care). There are 4 classes with a total of 95 students. A Grading Test determines at which level each girl will commence her secondary years. We also provide a home room and consistent class grouping for much of the Year 7 timetable.

Year 11
New enrolments are accepted to commence Year 11. We have especially strong HSC results and offer a number of extra programs which assist Year 12 students (see HSC). Subject choices are listed below.
