Today’s School
Since small beginnings in 1933, Danebank has developed in every way:
- Academic results are outstanding with Danebank rated as the best non-selective school in the St George and Sutherland Shire districts;
- The school population has grown from small beginnings with five students in 1933, to 950 students today from Prep (pre-school) to Year 12;
- The campus has expanded so that today it is an impressive environment spanning between Park Road and The Avenue, Hurstville;
- State-of-the-art facilities and equipment support learning programmes.
Administration
Danebank is a member of the Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation which supports Anglican education and ensures Danebank’s strong financial position. The school is administered by a School Council which numbers amongst its members representatives of the Corporation, the Anglican Synod, highly qualified educators and experienced members of the business community.
Founding Ideals
Together with the impressive developments listed above, Danebank has retained its firm foundation in the Christian faith. Today we believe that Miss Edith Roseby Ball, Founding Headmistress, would be astounded by the changes she set in motion so many years ago. We hope that she would be proud that today’s school continues to support her dream for a “fine Christian girls’ school”. We know that each generation of Danebankians has made changes that have made the school better for the next generation. We are sure that Miss Roseby Ball would be proud of today’s Danebank girls as they uphold her founding ideals and continue to develop their keen minds and faithful hearts.
Mission Statement
Danebank is a Christian School which aims to provide quality, affordable education that will equip girls for all aspects of life.
