We warmly welcome new families to Danebank and encourage you to book a tour.

Our annual intakes are in Pre-K, Year 3, Year 7 and Year 11. Entry into other year groups depends on availability.

We accept applications from birth and encourage parents to submit your daughter's enrolment application well in advance of her starting date.

While we seek to provide access to the school for as many students as possible, due to the demand for places, submission of an application should not be considered a guarantee of a position at any time. An application received is security of a position on our waiting list for the requested year. Applications are processed in the order they have been received relative to other applications.

If a place is not available at the time and year requested, and with the approval of parents/carers, Danebank will carry the application forward for future years until a suitable place may be available. If a place is available, students and their parents/carers will be invited to attend an interview. The interview helps to establish that parent expectations and student needs are compatible with the philosophy and offerings of the school, and the school has the capacity to meet those expectations and needs.

Our enrolment process aims to provide efficient and helpful guidance to parents, while ensuring our school policies are upheld. Enrolment enquiries are managed by our Registrar.

Danebank scholars have outstanding opportunities to discover their strengths, express their creativity and achieve their potential. Our scholars enjoy the school’s dynamic, friendly and empowering environment, where state-of-the art facilities and advanced technological infrastructure enhance their capacity to pursue their learning.

Danebank also provides a wide range of opportunities for gifted and talented or exceptional students, challenging high potential learners and supporting them in their growth. Our students are offered opportunities to develop their talents beyond the classroom, with programs in Music, Drama, Debating, Sport, Leadership, Outdoor Education, and Service to others. Christian clubs, programs and activities are also offered.

Acceleration for exceptional students can be offered in relevant Senior School subject areas. Gifted mathematicians entering Year 7 can be selected for the Danebank accelerated Mathematics class, which gives students the opportunity to move through the mathematics syllabus at a faster rate, culminating in Extension Mathematics HSC courses.

We believe that girls achieve their best in an all-girls environment where all activities and opportunities are for girls and there are no gender restrictions. Danebank girls are encouraged to applaud their classmates for their successes and to always be mindful of the needs of others.

Our students achieve outstanding academic outcomes as a result, with Danebank students consistently achieving among the top in the state and country. Danebank is the top-performing independent school in the Georges River and Sutherland Shire regions.
