BRISBANE CENTRAL & INNER-WEST P. 41 YEARS: Year 7 to Year 12 AFFILIATION: Catholic Tel: 07 3369 5466 STUARTHOLME SCHOOL With over 100 years’ experience in educating young women, Stuartholme School provides a balanced educational program, highquality academic care and a nurturing environment where students can thrive, learn and grow as individuals. With only 690 students, Stuartholme is small enough for each girl to be personally known, yet large enough to offer an extensive, relevant and dynamic range of opportunities. Stuartholme Principal, Kristen Sharpe explains that Stuartholme enjoys a reputation for providing a devoted, supportive learning environment, fostering a sense of community and belonging for each girl. “This is achieved through a well-rounded education that offers opportunities both in and outside the classroom. The Co-Curricular Program offers a broad range of sporting and non-sporting activities for our students. The Academic Enrichment Program aims to develop the potential of each student by providing a pathway that acknowledges their individual gifts and talent. “Every aspect of teaching aims to develop the student’s selfdetermination, to grow their leadership potential and to empower them with the skills and confi dence to succeed,” Kristen said. In addition, Stuartholme offers an entrepreneurial Social Justice Program that prepares and encourages our students to be active, informed and responsible global citizens. “Stuartholme is part of an international network of more than 200 Sacred Heart <strong>Schools</strong> across 44 countries. Each school is connected by the vision of the Sacred Heart Society foundress Saint Madeleine Sophie Barat. “Stuartholme is one of four Sacred Heart schools that make up the Australia and New Zealand Network of Sacred Heart <strong>Schools</strong>, which includes sister schools in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland.” At the heart of Stuartholme are the students, who are challenged in all areas of development – spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional, and physical. As Brisbane’s only Catholic independent day and boarding school for girls, students live and learn in the spectacular and historic grounds of Stuartholme School, overlooking the cityscape and surrounded by the nature of Mt Coot-tha Reserve, located 6km from the Brisbane CBD. Students thrive under award-winning teachers who nurture academic excellence for confi dent futures, but most of all, they are cared for with guidance and love. “We believe that it takes a village to raise a child and, therefore, every member of our community plays a vital role in the wellbeing of our students,” explains the dean of Student Wellbeing, Deb Lonsdale-Walker. The school’s Wellbeing Program was recently recognised as a fi nalist in this year’s Australian Educator Awards. “The program is timetabled for years 7 to 12 as part of the curriculum and supported by immersion initiatives: camps, retreats, leadership development workshops and staff and parent development,” Deb explains. “These initiatives are integrated into the life of the school and intrinsic to the overall program. Our wellbeing program is strongly linked with learning, so that each student can reach their full potential and achieve outstanding academic success.” The school’s 2020 results were a testament to the success of the program, with 5 per cent of Stuartholme students achieving an ATAR of 99 and above – fi ve times the state average. Stuartholme School’s scholarship and bursary program is designed to recognise girls who have excellence and expertise in a variety of areas, providing opportunities for girls who would greatly benefi t from a Stuartholme School education but who, without fi nancial aid, would be unable to attend.
