History of the School
The school's founder, Miss Edith Roseby Ball, is remembered each year on Founder's Day. She established a small Kindergarten of five students in 1933. Miss Roseby Ball based the ethos of the school on 'Ut Prosim', "That I May Serve". She believed that this motto described a key element of the Christian life. 'Ut Prosim' has come to symbolise the school's Christian foundations and intention, that every student shall be introduced to the Christian faith through the practical experience of Christian care.

From small beginnings in 1933, Danebank has developed in size, experience and goals. The campus has expanded remarkably as many nearby and adjoining properties have been purchased and developed. The school is an impressive environment spanning Park Road and The Avenue, Hurstville. At Danebank, innovation and development are on-going.
