RUYTON GIRLS’ SCHOOL
An independent, forward-thinking girls’ school, Ruyton is
committed to preparing girls for a lifetime of learning, leadership
and engagement in the global community. Ruyton’s vision is to
inspire girls to be bold and to educate girls to live lives of impact
and purpose.
Ruyton’s Early Learning, Junior and Senior Schools are situated
on the one campus, fostering a strong sense of belonging and
authentic connection with opportunities for students to interact
across year levels and across sub-schools.
Learning
Students experience an innovative programme of learning,
leadership and engagement throughout their years at Ruyton.
Academic programmes are broad, challenging and creative, with
an emphasis on personalised learning.
Girls experience signature programmes such as: South House in
Year 4, Innovate Ed in Years 7 and 8, and an extensive elective
programme in Year 9 and 10. In Year 11 and 12 girls participate in
the unique Co-ordinate Programme with Trinity Grammar School.
Wellbeing
Ruyton is committed to empowering girls to flourish by embracing
emotional, social and physical wellbeing practices. Their approach
to wellbeing is both proactive and responsive. With sequential
and age appropriate programmes, Ruyton focuses on developing
resilient, confident and grounded young women.
Co-curricular
The extensive Co-curricular Programme at Ruyton enables girls
to follow their passions and challenge themselves in different
ways to discover their true capacity. Essential life skills
and characteristics are gained, such as time management,
resilience, grit and independence. Ruyton girls develop as
women of character and integrity.
Facilities
Learning environments are purposely designed to inspire creativity,
engagement and innovative thinking. A blend of heritage and
modern buildings fitted with state-of-the-art facilities provide a
place where students gain the skills for tomorrow.
Academic Performance
Acknowledged widely as a high performing academic school,
Ruyton continues to develop programmes and practices that
expand learning experiences providing girls with the knowledge
and future-ready skills to help them thrive in a rapidly changing
world. As a community Ruyton recognises that an ATAR score alone
does not reflect the richness of the stories of grit, determination
and success behind each girl’s journey.
‘We believe in girls’ is Ruyton’s ethos and practice. Empowering
girls to lead lives of impact and purpose with courage, character
and compassion; both now and in the future. This is how Ruyton
defines success.

Linda Douglas at a Principal’s Conversation.
