IGS is a co-educational and secular 

independent school with a bilingual focus 

from Early Learning to Year 12. With the core 

values of Diversity, Personal Achievement, 

Connectedness, Authenticity and Vibrancy, we 

aim to equip our students to be world ready. 

Our vibrant learning community is located 

in Ultimo, in the centre of Australia’s most 

creative, dynamic, digital precinct, a short walk 

to the University of Technology Sydney and 

the University of Sydney. Our idyllic 

Kangaroo Valley Retreat offers students a host 

of immersive experiences, including language 

camps, science and sustainability field studies, 

Shakespeare in the Glade, music camps, 

writers’ retreats, art en plein air, and leadership 

programs. 

Our unique languages program broadens 

students’ cultural understanding and 

communication skills. Each day from Early 

Learning onwards, students experience partial 

bilingual immersion, becoming familiar with 

their additional languages, which can include 

French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin 

and Spanish. Families from all backgrounds 

immediately feel at home in the IGS community, 

where difference is celebrated. 

At IGS, we harness the natural curiosity and 

energy of our youngest learners. We draw 

upon a broad mix of theories and philosophies 

in early childhood education to ensure 

children enjoy new and exciting opportunities 

for developmental play and in-depth learning. 

Our program is underpinned by the Early Years 

Learning Framework, the national curriculum 

of early education and care services. 

Our Primary program provides opportunity, 

challenge, and support to learners from 

Kindergarten to Year 6. Meeting individual 

learning needs has a positive effect on 

selfesteem and development. Our vibrant 

range of learning activities provides rigour, 

promotes acceptance of difference, and 

encourages research in students’ areas of 

interest. 

Students develop an understanding of 

themselves and their worlds through various 

forms of expression including Languages, 

Music, Visual Arts, and Drama. 

Our program for Years 7 and 8 aims to create 

a smooth transition into High School and 

maximise student engagement. Courses 

for Years 9 and 10 provide opportunities 

for enriched learning and are grounded in 

critical thinking and the ongoing development 

of literacy and numeracy skills, while the 

expanded Senior program features stimulating 

choices across all faculty areas and many 

leadership opportunities. HSC results are 

consistently impressive.

Kincoppal-Rose Bay School of the Sacred 

Heart is a leading Catholic independent 

school, located in Rose Bay in Sydney’s 

Eastern Suburbs. KRB is a dynamic and 

forward-thinking community, abundant in 

tradition. Our school educates boys and girls 

from age 3 until the end of Year 6. From Year 

7 to 12, we educate young women, offering 

day and boarding places. Kincoppal-Rose Bay 

prepares students for lives of courage and 

confidence, educating them to discover their 

purpose, cultivate their talents and passions, 

and to commit themselves to service as global 

citizens of the world. 

ELC (3 – 5 year old students) 

The coeducational Early Learning Centre is 

inspired by the approaches used in Reggio 

Emilia, and the philosophies of the Forest 

Schools in Northern Europe. Children are 

encouraged to become researchers, to build 

upon their curiosities and wonders and to 

explore the mysteries of their worlds. 

Barat-Burn Junior School (K-6) 

Our co-educational Junior School provides 

girls and boys with a warm and nurturing 

community. Here they can begin to explore 

and further develop their interests and talents. 

We believe it is vital to nurture a strong sense 

of inquiry from a very early age, including in 

the key area of STEM - science, technology, 

engineering and mathematics. 

Senior School (7-12) 

The KRB Senior School provides students with 

a structured and personalised educational 

environment, supported by a strong and 

vibrant co-curricular program. From Year 7, 

we welcome boarders from regional NSW, 

interstate and overseas, which creates a rich 

and diverse learning environment. Our devoted 

and high calibre Senior School teaching team 

delivers a curriculum grounded in academic 

rigour. We foster a nurturing environment that 

enables students to grow to become confident, 

well balanced spirited adults. 

Teaching and Learning 

At KRB our teaching and learning framework 

articulates strategic priorities that embed 

excellence in learning from ELC-12. It 

responds to the need for agile, data-informed 

decision making, robust professional learning 

opportunities, and a genuine partnership 

between teachers and students as they 

engage in rich learning experiences. 

Our KRB learner attributes provide us with 

an aspirational vision for future-focused 

learning. This equips all students with the 

ability to develop the skills essential to meet 

the challenges of our rapidly evolving world. 

Rich learning is characterised by consistent, 

developmentally sequenced opportunities 

to build and apply critical and creative 

thinking processes. The explicit teaching 

of metacognitive skills allows students to 

become independent, self-regulating, life-long 

learners who make astute decisions and reflect 

critically. Our students communicate with 

purpose, collaborating meaningfully to build 

new ideas and engage in complex problemsolving 

initiatives. As a community of learners, 

these attributes allow us to journey together 

as we re-imagine the future of learning with 

courage and confidence. 

Student Wellbeing 

The KRB ELC-12 Wellbeing Framework, SELF 

+ (Social Emotional Learning to Flourish), has 

been uniquely developed to meet the needs 

of all KRB students as they progress through 

the school from our Early Learning Centre 

to Year 12. It is informed by the science of 

positive psychology and is underpinned by an 

understanding of the five Sacred Heart goals. 

Positive Education is a concept that underpins 

the educational experience of all students 

at KRB. It is defined as the combination of 

traditional education principles, with the 

study of happiness and wellbeing. Applying 

the key tenets of Positive Education, known 

as PERMAH (Positive Emotions, Engagement, 

Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment and 

Health) is crucial to developing the well-being 

of students. The framework applies these by 

ensuring each individual develops Social, 

Emotional, and Learning skills in order to 

flourish. KRB’s Student Wellbeing framework 

is well-informed by current research and has 

a focus on the evidence-based concepts of 

Gratitude, Growth Mindset, 

Mindfulness, Resilience and the identification 

of Character Strengths.

St Andrew’s Cathedral School is a 

coeducational, independent Anglican 

school, located in the heart of Sydney’s CBD. 

Reflecting our Christian foundations, we are 

a strong and hopeful learning community 

that nurtures the individual strengths of each 

student in our care. 

With a long history—we were originally founded 

as a Choral School in 1885—we are known for 

our outstanding performing arts program with 

25 music ensembles, including our renowned 

Cathedral choristers. With extensive sporting 

and co-curricular opportunities—from fencing, 

theatresports, debating, dance and drama—we 

also have an outstanding outdoor education 

program based at our property, Kirrikee, in the 

NSW Southern Highlands. 

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World 

School, our middle school students are taught 

the NSW school curriculum through the IB 

Middle Years framework and Senior College 

students can choose to study either the HSC or 

the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. 

We are the quintessential city school, located 

in two high-rise buildings in the centre of 

Sydney’s CBD, enriching our curriculum 

with city experiences, all on our doorstep. 

Our buildings are purposefully designed, 

light filled learning spaces for Junior School, 

Middle School and a dedicated pre-tertiary 

environment for Senior College. 

Our school within a school, Gawura, is a highly 

regarded model, noted for its innovative 

approach to a First Nations-led education 

within a mainstream system and was named 

2020 Australian School of the Year. As the 

School of the Year judges observed, Gawura is 

a ‘lighthouse program in Indigenous education 

with wonderful, almost unheard-of outcomes.’ 

Our teachers are experts in their chosen fields 

who very much enjoy the relational nature of 

teaching and who engage in the character 

development of each child, both within 

and outside the classroom. They are also 

passionate about developing their practice 

and benefit from a progressive professional 

learning program. Many of our teachers 

are invited to present at state and national 

educational conferences and professional 

associations, and as an educational leader, we 

hold conferences, host international experts 

and encourage thought leadership. 

What makes St Andrew’s Cathedral School different 

• Our Christian tradition means we have essential 

convictions about the dignity of every student—each 

one unique, loved by God and gifted for a purpose. 

• Expert teachers - we promote best practice 

teaching by encapsulating the best of explicit 

teaching, inquiry-based learning and cognitive 

science, all combined with the aim of fostering 

deep learning. 

• We are an IB world school: MYP and Diploma 

- we teach global mindedness: an openness 

to the world, so that our students learn to 

appreciate difference and recognise their deep 

interconnectedness with others. 

• At home in the city - our students enjoy an enriched, 

global curriculum and immediate access to cultural 

and tertiary institutions, innovation, hubs, and 

business and social entrepreneurs. 

• We always seek to care for the whole child - 

considering their intellectual, physical, social, 

emotional, and spiritual wellbeing and development. 

• Character development is fundamental to our 

pursuit of academic excellence and is at the heart of 

our teaching and pastoral care.

St Catherine’s is for the girl who can, who 

wants to and will, given the opportunity and an 

opening. The girl who’s unique, who has spirit 

and passion. 

We help every girl discover her potential, 

develop her academic and personal abilities 

and flourish at school. 

As a girls’ school, we have unparalleled 

opportunities for girls to find their own voices, 

develop self-confidence, thrive in STEM and 

grow as leaders. 

Our teachers embrace the latest educational 

research in the classroom, balancing clear 

instruction with engagement. This enables us to 

offer a tailored learning experience, combining 

a rigorous academic program with one of the 

broadest curriculum choices on offer. 

Our teachers really get to know the students 

to gain a deep understanding of their talents 

and interests as well as areas that may need 

some work. We will help your daughter develop 

a resilient mindset and show her how to apply 

it to her learning. 

Our Academic Care program, founded on the 

principles of positive psychology, is designed to 

develop girls’ wellbeing and help them flourish. 

The philosophy is based on evidence based 

positive psychology, the VIA character 

strengths and the school values of courage, 

integrity, relationships, and service. 

We help develop girls’ wellbeing by building: 

• Positive emotions 

• A resilient mindset 

• Academic tenacity 

• Strong relationships 

Just like your daughter, her teachers will be 

well supported, highly trained and always 

refining their skills in the classroom. They are 

taught the same positive mindset we teach the 

girls because when we’re all on the same page, 

the pathway to learning is so much clearer. 

When our girls leave, they are well-educated, 

well-rounded and well-balanced – ready to step 

into our ever-changing world. 

At St Catherine’s, we help every girl find her 

own great.

St Vincent’s College is a non-selective, 

contemporary Catholic day and boarding 

school for girls. The current ethos and approach 

is based on a belief that an independent 

education should provide advantage 

not entitlement. 

The College avoids visible ostentation, 

balances opportunities with responsibilities 

and invites students to learn in a culture that is 

informing, transforming and empowering. 

Our motto ‘Scientia cum Religione’ (knowledge 

and religion united) calls us to take the wisdom 

and understanding that comes with education 

and combine it with the virtues and values of 

religion – love, compassion, care, justice – so 

that we may truly live a life modelled on that of 

Jesus and his concern for people. 

Essentially, as we look to a future filled with 

opportunity for women in Australia, St Vincent’s 

College is all about empowering young women 

to be independent in thought, compassionate 

in attitude and confident to act. 

Students are encouraged to discover their 

athletic ability with individual and team sports; 

release their creativity with our performing and 

creative arts; share their generous spirit with 

social justice groups; and build strength of 

character with leadership opportunities. 

Students can participate in classes such as 

dance, Performance Arts, acting, debating, 

public speaking, choral and instrumental music 

and the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. 

The College Sport Program attracts high levels 

of participation by all students. Students are 

encouraged to choose at least one team or 

individual sport each term from an extensive 

range of options including basketball, netball, 

hockey, softball, cricket, volleyball, touch, 

soccer, water polo, athletics, cross country, 

swimming, diving, gymnastics and skiing. 

All students in Years 7 to 10 enjoy annual an 

Outdoor Education Camp. Years 11 and 12 

students undertake Retreats that strengthen 

their relationships with God and friends. 

Our educational philosophy recognises the 

individuality and giftedness of each student 

and it promotes the development of her 

intellectual, spiritual, emotional, physical and 

aesthetic qualities. The modern curriculum 

combines the Ignatian philosophy with the best 

of pedagogical practices. 

Extended Day Program 

St Vincent’s College offers students from Years 7 to 

12 supervised study which includes supervised study, 

support and assistance as required. 

Extended Day is held in the Learning Resource 

Centre with a teacher as the supervisor. This 

initiative is to assist our strategic priority of Academic 

Excellence. It also offers girls an opportunity to 

complete their homework and study so they can go 

home to spend time with their family. 

Developing Personal Excellence 

Personal excellence is encouraged by offering 

each student a diverse and challenging curriculum 

delivered by professional, enthusiastic and 

caring educators. 

Scholarships 

The College Board endeavours to provide 

opportunities for families who would otherwise 

be unable to afford quality Catholic education the 

chance to be educated at St Vincent’s College. 

Scholarships offered include:

The Scots College is more than just a school 

for boys. An Early Years to Year 12 education 

that no other school can offer, this is the Scots 

Advantage. We prepare boys to succeed in a 

world that is constantly being reinvented. 

The Scots College is a distinctive Australian 

school that defends the honourable traditions, 

adventures and learning of boys. We exist to 

inspire boys to learn, lead and serve as they 

strive for excellence together. Scots has been 

raising fine young men since 1893 from Sydney, 

New South Wales and many different nations 

from around the world. 

Academic excellence is critically important, 

and our record demonstrates our success. But 

Scots aims for an even higher goal. We prepare 

boys to succeed in a world that is constantly 

being reinvented. 

Our deep understanding of how boys grow 

and learn is captured in our Brave Hearts Bold 

Minds philosophy. This means we support 

every boy, at every stage of development, to 

become a confident, well-grounded young man 

of integrity. They will become the fine young 

men of the next generation who will, in their 

turn, reinvent their world. This is why academic 

success alone does not prepare boys for the 

www.scots.college 

future. A strong sense of identity, values, and 

character is vital. 

The College has intentionally chosen a path 

where active learning works with academic 

excellence. Our local, national and international 

programs, inspire our boys to become 

principled, compassionate and engaged 

citizens of their College, their community and 

their world. 

Boarders have been a vital part of the Scots 

community for over a century. 

Boarding at Scots, available from Year 5 

onwards, offers high quality education in a 

safe and nurturing environment, where your 

son is supported to reach his full potential. As 

a boarder, your son will stay at one of our five 

Boarding Houses where he will be provided 

with strong pastoral care and individual 

attention while experiencing the joys of being 

a part of his House ‘family’. 

Currently the College has one major 

construction project underway: 

• Replacing the former Stevenson Library with 

the John Cunningham Student Centre which 

will become the hub of student learning

Year 12 

There are two distinct differences at Barker 

College. One is that it’s a school that deliberately 

and intentionally allows people to thrive in a 

holistic sense – emotionally, physiologically, 

physically, academically. 

The second thing is that we have a firm 

coeducational identity and a firm expression of 

that. It’s a view that everybody can find a place 

and thrive irrespective of interests, skillset or 

capacity and be committed to doing that in a 

way that brings young men and young women 

together for the proper expression of human 

interaction and identity. 

Student health and wellbeing 

Barker is committed to creating and fostering 

a caring and positive Christian environment for 

every student, in order for our young people to 

be known, supported and equipped with the 

social and emotional tools needed to thrive. 

Students are immersed in holistic learning 

experiences where wellbeing is carefully 

considered and integrated into academic 

learning, outdoor education, service learning, 

Connect groups, the House system, cocurricular 

programs, sport, student academic 

care and support, and through Christian 

faith development. 

Beyond the Classroom 

The experience inside the classroom is only 

one part of a Barker education. 

For Pre-K to Year 6 students we offer a broad 

range of sporting, cultural and recreational cocurricular 

activities. Throughout Years 7 to 12, 

our students have even greater opportunities 

to pursue their passions. As well as Drama, 

Music, Cadets, Outdoor Education and over 20 

different sports, Barker students can challenge 

themselves in the areas of robotics, debating 

and public speaking. 

Building on more than 130 years of heritage, 

the School has grown in two areas. Firstly, 

there is our Indigenous education outreach 

program, which goes beyond boarding and into 

establishing Indigenous schools in partnership 

with Indigenous community leaders. The 

second is in our emphatic commitment to a full 

coeducational experience for our students. 

No two days at Barker are ever the same. 

Students are constantly challenging themselves 

– and being challenged – as they grow, expand 

their minds and learn to think big, practically 

and independently. 

• A Barker education is shaped by our focus on 

preparing for a life beyond the School gates 

• Every Barker student is different. What they all 

have in common is a confidence to embrace the 

challenge of the future and a capacity to make their 

own positive impact on the world 

• We are excited about the future of education at 

Barker and the invaluable opportunities coeducation 

will provide us to fulfil our vision of being a leader in 

Christian education that inspires global hope 

• From Pre-Kindergarten through to the Senior 

years, students are exposed to a range of diverse 

opportunities and experiences 

• Barker is a place where every student belongs, is 

valued and loves to be 

• The contemporary curriculum provides a balanced 

program drawing on foundational skills, guided 

inquiry, collaborative learning, and the appropriate 

use of resources, particularly technology 

• An understanding of social justice and a recognition 

of the importance of positive relationships 

• The development of independent and critical 

thinking as a means to becoming a life long learner

Year 7 

Year 12 

As a non-selective Catholic independent 

school, Brigidine College proudly caters for 

students of all abilities and talents. Framed by 

our motto, Fortiter et Suaviter, our students are 

challenged to be “Women of Strength, Women 

of Gentleness” where we encourage all our 

students to explore opportunities, relish in 

challenges, and think beyond themselves. 

Our College has an optimum size of 900 students 

from Year 7 to Year 12, which is small enough 

to know all our girls yet large enough to offer 

a broad range of curriculum and cocurricular 

choices to ultimately discover their best selves. 

In the academic arena, we offer 35 courses for 

the HSC, ensuring that all girls find their passion 

for learning to maximise their academic success. 

Proudly a girls school, we see the uniqueness 

in every individual and shape their education 

in ways that fill them with a sense of purpose 

and success about their achievements. We 

make it a priority to know their differences, 

academic capabilities, interests and challenges. 

We explore opportunities to structure a more 

personalised, relevant curriculum that meets 

their needs in the present yet is flexible enough 

to adapt to a changing world. 

Our students are challenged to take risks with 

their learning and extend themselves to acquire 

and assimilate knowledge, understanding and 

skills. They are encouraged to use resources 

effectively to enhance their learning, think 

critically about knowledge with its inherent reallife 

problems and be creative and reflective in 

their quest for solutions. Learning at Brigidine 

College is an experience of imagination and 

realising the many possibilities that enable 

girls to flourish and grow into confident, 

accomplished, future-ready women. 

We invite you to learn more about Brigidine 

by joining us on a College tour where you 

will be invited to talk with our Principal, staff 

and students. 

• ACADEMIC DIVERSITY 

Brigidine College strives to deliver a well-rounded 

education that extends beyond the traditional 

academic expectations and experiences. We 

offer a diverse and challenging approach to 

education that celebrates a love of learning that is 

immersive, integrated and underpinned by realworld 

applied example. 

• COCURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES 

The Cocurricular program allows for young women 

to thrive beyond the classroom. We balance a 

diverse program with engaging activities including 

sport, music, dance, drama, speech and debating, 

special interest clubs, Duke of Edinburgh and 

immersion tours. 

• PERSONAL GROWTH 

Our small class sizes allow us to see, know and 

connect with every student. Our focus is on 

unlocking potential and inspiring our students 

to find their own unique strengths. At Brigidine, 

every student is exposed to opportunities to allow 

them to thrive. 

• WELLBEING 

The College seeks to provide a culture of belonging 

where learning and wellbeing go hand-in-hand 

in school life. Our Wellbeing and pastoral care 

programs work in conjunction with the teaching 

and learning of students and the development of 

their religious and spiritual character.

Year 6 

John Colet School, a K – 6 co-educational, multifaith 

school in Belrose on the Northern Beaches 

of Sydney. 

As a stand-alone primary school our focus is 

entirely on the 5-12 age group. We see this stage as 

fundamental in setting the academic foundations, 

as well as a love of learning, resilience and the 

feeling of self-worth that a child will need to enter 

high school and beyond. 

The unique aspects of our curriculum from 

Lower 1st through to 6th Class, such as classical 

languages, Shakespeare, and enriched singing 

and art programs, extend the students holistically 

while at the same time developing attention. This 

is all managed within a small class environment 

where the same teacher supports the students 

over a number of years. 

A Classical, Traditional Approach 

At John Colet School we are proud of taking a 

classical or traditional approach to learning. We 

believe that it is important that children have a 

solid foundation in literacy and numeracy skills. 

This involves instruction in such areas as Grammar, 

Handwriting, Timetables and recitation. 

At this crucial age this approach helps build 

children’s cognitive load so that they may apply 

themselves clearly and creatively to complex and 

diverse areas. 

Great Material 

Language is a fundamental element in education. 

How the child learns to speak and use language 

will largely be determined by the examples 

provided. For this reason, at John Colet School, 

we take great care in the material provided, such 

as the texts we use in our literature program, 

Shakespeare within drama and the learning of 

Sanskrit and Latin. A child will learn what is put in 

front of them. 

If you provide outstanding material, this is the 

quality of work a child will produce. 

Years 3 – 6 is a special and developmentally 

important time when students really blossom 

at John Colet School. Children take greater 

risks with their learning, build resilience, 

and are challenged in diverse areas. Within 

a supportive environment, students gain 

confidence in their own strengths and develop 

their ability to work independently and with 

others, ready for high school. 

John Colet School is happy to take students 

into Years 2 – 5 during the academic year, 

where places are available, and following a trial 

day. If you are considering transferring your 

child from their current primary school, please 

talk to our Registrar.

In the spirit of our foundress Mary Ward who 

believed that “women in time to come will 

do much,” Loreto Normanhurst encourages 

young women to take their place in the world 

as seekers of truth and instruments of justice. 

The award-winning Loreto Normanhurst 

Student Growth Model (LNSGM) emphasises 

collaboration, creative and critical thinking, 

digital capabilities, adaptability and 

independence. By offering a breadth of 

learning experiences inside and outside 

the classroom, it develops our students 

into agile and resilient thinkers who are 

prepared to navigate an ever-changing 

global landscape. 

The cornerstone of the LNSGM is the FACE 

Curriculum, which places equal importance 

on the holistic development of each student 

across Faith, Academic, Community and 

Extra-curricular. 

The LNSGM includes our bespoke subject, 

Integrated Learning. This subject has a skills 

focus with an emphasis on cross-curricular 

priorities. It is delivered in flexible open learning 

spaces facilitated by a team of dynamic 

teachers from different discipline areas. 

The model is also supported by a strong 

Pastoral Care program featuring a House 

system and advisors and tutors who care 

for the students and get to know them as a 

whole person. 

Through our extensive extra-curricular 

programs, students have further opportunities 

to support their learning and growth through 

leadership, social justice, sport, music, oratory, 

speech and drama. 

The success of the LNSGM is evident in 

our consistently high HSC Results and the 

formation of our graduates as ‘Compassionate 

Warriors’: independent, articulate and 

compassionate women of grit, independent 

thinking, voice, creativity, conscious faith 

and service. 

Our fully flexible Boarding model welcomes 

students from ex-pat and overseas families and 

the Sydney basin, with 80% of our boarders 

coming from rural NSW. Since our foundation 

in 1897, Loreto Boarding has remained integral 

to our educational environment, enriching 

the diversity of our thriving community by 

connecting students from all over Australia 

and the world.

Year 12 

Northern Beaches Christian School is a vibrant 

Christian, independent, co-ed school in Terrey 

Hills (Sydney), for students in Kindergarten 

to Year 12. Within our world class facilities, 

we expect a positive learning culture, a 

safe, welcoming environment, wise use of 

technology and positive communication. 

We are committed to improving student 

learning in all aspects of school life, within a 

nurturing Christian community that supports 

and encourages learning, growth, wellbeing, 

connection, belonging and community. 

We expect much from our students because 

they are capable of much. Our aim is to develop 

a culture that brings out the best in our students 

– in their learning, in their character, in the 

opportunities they take, the friendships they 

develop, and in understanding the message of 

the God who loves them. 

This rich foundation is reflected in our Vision 

(Love Learning), Mission (Excellence in 

Education, Christianity in Action) and Values 

(Gratitude, Respect, Courage, Compassion and 

Commitment), enabling us to foster a lifelong 

love of learning and hope for the future. 

In a rapidly changing world, NBCS students can 

look ahead with confidence and hope. Although 

we cannot predict the future, we believe we 

can prepare our young people for it. Our job, 

in partnership with families, is to together build 

an enriching school community that inspires a 

love of learning and the growth of our students. 

Love Learning permeates throughout the 

culture and strategic operations of our school 

and can be understood in six key areas of focus: 

Academic - We pursue and celebrate academic 

excellence. At the heart of NBCS is the pursuit 

of academic excellence. We recognise that this 

will look different for every student, but our 

hope is that each individual learning journey will 

be shaped by curiosity and a love of discovery. 

We encourage our students to go beyond the 

dissemination and digestion of facts, to make 

connections with what they are learning, to 

who they are and the impact they want to make 

on the world around them. 

Christian - We live and share the beauty of 

faith in Jesus. The second part of our Mission 

statement, Christianity in Action, is no less 

important than our commitment to academic 

excellence. It provides a deep framework for 

our community, shaping our values and culture. 

NBCS is built upon trust in a God who graciously 

loves, rescues and redeems. This provides the 

basis for being a community that loves and 

supports one another, fostering a sense of 

hope while recognising the diversity of faith 

and worldview in our broader community. 

Wellbeing - We nurture and grow our 

community. Being a high achieving, low stress 

school means a steadfast commitment to 

wellbeing. We provide our students and their 

families with rich resources and tools that help 

build resilience and a positive mindset, setting 

them up for success. Developing the whole 

person, body, heart and mind, helps to ignite a 

love for learning in all domains. 

Co-curricular - We extend opportunities and 

enrich lives. As each student’s learning journey 

will be unique, so too will the opportunities that 

they seek. Whether it is sport, music, creative 

arts, technology or outdoor adventure, we seek 

to give our students the chance to discover 

and grow their God-given talents. These 

opportunities can often be a gateway to new 

learning, enabling our students to go ahead 

with confidence. 

Staff - We shape and engage talented Christian 

staff. Exceptional teachers make exceptional 

schools. Their love for learning is the spark 

that fires a love of learning in our students. 

Developing our teachers professionally is an 

ongoing priority – as our teachers thrive, so too 

do our students. 

Infrastructure - We inspire and invigorate 

learning. Our state-of-the-art campus reflects 

the important balance between form and 

function. It has been shaped by the belief 

that learning spaces must meet the needs of 

students and teachers, while inspiring new 

possibilities for learning. Our facilities exist to 

help bring our Mission and Vision to life.

Pittwater House is an independent, nondenominational 

school offering a wellrounded 

education to students from Early 

Childhood (pre-school) to Year 12. 

To ensure that each student is seen, known 

and cared for and staff can develop a true 

understanding of every child’s abilities, 

talents and needs, we maintain a small 

student population. 

Our School motto Semper Diligens - ‘Always 

Hardworking’, underpins the attitude to which 

we apply ourselves each day at school in all 

that we do. 

Our Core Values are represented by the 

mnemonic ‘HEROIC’ and signify the widely 

adopted expression of our purpose and 

interactions within our School and in the 

broader community. 

Our Structure 

Our School combines predominantly singlesex 

classes on a spacious co-educational 

campus, providing students with all the 

advantages of gender-specific teaching 

with the many social benefits of a co-ed 

environment. 

This approach benefits our students 

academically and improves their approach 

to learning whilst giving them the skills 

to be able to form respectful and positive 

relationships with their peers. 

Our Learning Approach 

In the classroom, our highly qualified teachers 

use an evidence-based teacher-framed, 

student-led model known as ‘Deep Learning’, 

enabling students to master essential 

academic content and to become lifelong 

learners. 

At its core are six essential competencies, 

which are fostered in students to inspire 

a progressive learning journey. These 

competencies help students integrate 

academic skills with personal and social 

capabilities, benefiting them in the classroom 

and beyond the school gates for a lifetime 

of learning. 

Outside the Classroom 

We offer students a broad array of cocurricular 

opportunities to cater to diverse 

interests and abilities. Most activities take 

place on our 3.5-hectare campus before or 

after school and are led by qualified staff or 

external professionals. 

Whether it be performing arts disciplines, 

sporting pursuits, cadets, clubs or youth 

development programs, Pittwater House 

offers your child countless ways to develop 

and thrive. 

• Predominantly single-sex classes on one 

co-educational campus 

• Passionate teachers who, as vital members of the 

School community, strive for excellence in teaching 

each day 

• Large, 3.5-hectare campus offers a range of 

facilities onsite including pool, multi-purpose 

playing field, numerous playgrounds, the Great 

Hall, outdoor courts, indoor sports centre, music 

cottage, art rooms, performing arts centre and 

health centre 

• Out-of-school hours (OOSH) facility onsite 

• Private service of five buses for families living on 

the North Shore and Northern Beaches 

• A limited number of general excellence (sport, 

performing arts) and academic excellence 

scholarships available to students entering 

Years 7, 9 and 11

together. View our Masterplan >

Pymble Ladies’ College girls bring passion 

and purpose into everything they do. They 

are change makers in the classroom, in their 

community and in the world. 

Watch Us Change the World is our statement 

of intent. It exists to instil courage in our young 

women to create the future they want to see 

for themselves. 

Since 1916, a Pymble education has equipped 

girls with the tools to achieve those dreams, 

while shaping them as influential and 

compassionate women. Girls at Pymble 

Ladies’ College are nurtured to be inquisitive, 

courageous, and determined, so they can 

make a difference that will positively change 

the world. 

Our campus sits on 50 acres of beautiful parklike 

grounds on Sydney’s upper North Shore. 

The College is a non-selective, independent 

school for girls from Kindergarten to Year 12, 

with Boarding available from Year 7. 

“We don’t just dream - we do” 

The opportunities offered to all students, 

both curricular and co-curricular, ensure 

Pymble girls have every chance to achieve the 

ambitions they set for themselves. 

Pymble has been marked with excellence 

throughout its 105-year history. The College 

has gained a reputation for offering 

extraordinary and well-rounded academic 

and co-curricular programs, with outstanding 

teachers and world-class facilities. 

“What makes Pymble so special? 

That’s easy. It’s our girls.” 

Pymble’s Strategic Direction 2021-2030 is an 

exciting new chapter in the life of the school 

and for our girls. It aims to develop the whole 

student, in all areas of her life, by focusing 

on four key intelligences – academic, social, 

emotional and digital. These four learning 

pillars are supported by the College values 

of Care, Courage, Integrity, Respect and 

Responsibility and the Mind, Body and Spirit 

Framework promoting holistic wellness. 

Year 9 Residential Program Vision Valley 

• Pymble Ladies’ College has a second campus at Arcadia 

dedicated to innovative Outdoor Education Programs for 

all students K-12. Set on 100 acres of beautiful bushland 

close to the Hawkesbury River, Vision Valley provides 

high-quality accommodation, sporting fields, camping 

areas, an archery range, a dam for canoeing and raft 

building, rock climbing and abseiling sites, ropes 

courses, mountain bike trails and a dual zip-line. 

• In Year 9, students embark on our four-week Residential 

Program at Vision Valley. Held in conjunction with Year 

9 students from St. Ignatius College, students live and 

learn away from home, with their peers, in a unique, 

technology-free environment which gives them time and 

space to connect to self, others and the environment. 

• Every component of the program is carefully considered 

to help our girls develop a stronger understanding of 

who they are and where they fit in the world, respectful 

relationships with others and a greater understanding 

and appreciation of the natural environment. 

• Learning is different at Vision Valley. Every aspect of 

the residential experience – from lessons to physical 

challenges, chores and downtime – builds real-world 

learning and problem-solving whilst living away 

from home. 

• The curriculum is designed to make the most of Vision 

Valley’s physical resources and reflects themes from 

the main campus, including Sustainability, First Nations’ 

learning and Respectful Relationships, to allow a 

seamless transition back to main campus learning. 

Lessons are planned as either Integrated (combining 

multiple subjects) or Intensives (single subject) and can 

take place outdoors, at night or whenever and wherever 

the lesson plan will be most effective.

environment with an emphasis on the comforts of 

home. Positive Education principles are emphasised and 

deep sisterly bonds are fostered. 

• Ravenswood is recognised as one of the leading girls’ 

schools in Positive Education, globally. We are the 

first school in NSW to implement a Visible Wellbeing 

approach to Positive Education. Our Visible Wellbeing 

approach and program form a multi-layered system 

of support and guidance provided by highly qualified 

and experienced educators including Class Teachers, 

Head of Senior School, Deputy Principal - Boarding, 

Wellbeing and Development, and the Head of Positive 

Education. The School Chaplain, Psychologists, Learning 

Enrichment team, our therapy dog Daisy, and the Health 

Care Unit are also available to our girls for support, 

guidance and advice. 

• In the Junior School, students use Positive Education 

principles in a variety of ways, including by creating a 

conceptual framework based on the Power of Yet, an idea 

championed by psychologist Professor Carol Dweck.

Shore’s dynamic tradition is founded on 

authentic and transformative Christian faith and 

emphasises engaged rigour in academic work, 

relational service of others, growth in character 

and personal best in sports and co-curricular 

activities. With this as its foundation and within 

the terms of its charter, Shore is recognised as 

a pre-eminent Australian school. 

Shore aims to provide breadth and depth in 

its curriculum. The courses offered allow for a 

degree of specialisation and provide the boys 

with scope to follow their particular interests 

and strengths. Although it is comprehensive in 

its intake, Shore’s HSC results are comparable 

to those of most of the State’s selective high 

schools. The strong results are based upon 

an emphasis on staff selection, professional 

development and building a strong learning 

culture amongst students. 

The Sports programme is a vital part of every 

Shore boy’s learning and development process. 

Shore prides itself in presenting teams that are 

well prepared in sport throughout the sporting 

calendar. In addition to traditional sports such 

as athletics, cricket, tennis, rowing, rugby and 

football, the School offers a wide range of other 

activities such as biathlon, sprint and strength, 

Surf Life Saving, shooting, rock climbing, AFL, 

golf, snowsports, taekwondo and water polo. 

Providing a strong Pastoral Care system is 

seen as an integral part of helping each boy 

at Shore reach his full potential intellectually, 

emotionally and spiritually. Pastoral Care 

is designed to assist the individual boy in 

enriching his personal life, prepare him for 

educational choice, and offer guidance and 

counselling to help him come to terms with his 

responsibilities in meeting the basic intellectual 

and social demands of adult life. 

Service Learning is also a very important 

component of a Shore education. Shore sees 

these service learning activities as means of 

‘Building Good Men’. Shore aims to graduate 

men who are compassionate and understand 

others, with the willingness and ability to relate 

to people who are different from themselves 

before they move on to making their 

contribution to the wider community. 

• A leading Australian comprehensive boys’ school 

• A long-standing history of academic excellence 

• A comprehensive offering of co-curricular facilities and activities 

• An inclusive, service–led Anglican culture 

• Leading sports grounds and facilities across two campuses

Opportunities 

to Thrive 

Shore’s commitment to a genuinely comprehensive 

education means there are abundant possibilities 

for our students as they explore the learning 

opportunities across all facets of School life and

St Luke’s Grammar School – a school seeking 

to encourage students to become intentional 

learners and use their skills and talents to 

make a difference in the lives of those in the 

communities they seek to serve. 

Since its amalgamation as a co-educational 

school in 1993, St Luke’s has gained the 

reputation for being a thriving learning 

community that equips students to make a 

difference in the world. 

St Luke’s Grammar School has a thriving 

learning culture. In recent years, the School’s 

academic outcomes have been consistently 

high, ranking 33rd in the State (2022 HSC) 

and 1st Independent School on the Northern 

Beaches since 2013. These results are a 

testament to the successful embedding of 

St Luke’s learning and wellbeing framework, 

coupled with the hard work and commitment 

of the teachers and students. 

The learning culture at St Luke’s is 

underpinned by the LEARNING@STLUKE’S 

framework, which provides a common 

learning language across the School, as well 

as targeted strategies to equip students with 

the skills they need to understand themselves 

as learners. The LEARNING@STLUKE’S 

framework moves beyond the traditional 

approach to learning, seeking to engage the 

hearts and minds of students by combining 

the acquisition of content knowledge with the 

development of character. 

Within the framework, which draws together 

research on how students learn and what 

abilities strengthen their capacity to learn, 

St Luke’s has identified 5 R’s associated with 

learning. Powerful learners display capacities 

associated with Resilience, Resourcefulness, 

Reflectiveness, Relational and Restoration. 

Two evidence-based concepts intrinsic to 

the LEARNING@STLUKE’S framework and 

fundamental to student success are having 

a growth mindset and developing grit. Each 

day at St Luke’s, we aim to help our students 

to understand that they have the ability to 

learn anything and the only limiting factor is 

their own mindset. 

• The Cottage (Pre-Kindergarten) Program at 

St Luke’s Grammar School offers a range of 

stimulating experiences that integrate structured 

learning with play-based activities in order to inspire 

wonder and connection. The program thoroughly 

prepares and equips students for the transition to ‘big 

school’ the following year. 

• The St Luke’s Junior School is a dynamic, safe and 

engaging learning environment. It holds a wellestablished 

reputation for enabling students to 

develop mastery of new knowledge and gain a deep 

understanding of content. 

• The St Luke’s Senior School aims to provide an 

environment where students are encouraged to grow 

as thoughtful and resilient learners, supportive of 

each other and empathetic about the world around 

them. They approach challenges with a sense 

of agency, striving for excellence by developing 

mastery of learning through our LEARNING@ 

STLUKE’S Framework. Our students are humble, 

and see their place in the world as one where 

they can be of service to others. They seek out 

opportunities to be people of justice and grace. 

• Over the past 15 years, an extensive building 

program has transformed St Luke’s Grammar 

School into one of the most progressive and wellappointed 

learning environments on Sydney’s 

Northern Beaches.

success of all our students, from the field of 

academia to business, cultural and sporting 

life, recognising and nurturing their individual 

gifts and passions.

setting and facilities are the envy of many other 

schools. From our state-of-the-art hospitality 

facilities to our creative arts hub, fully equipped 

technology workshops and ICT network, we 

cater to the diverse interests of all students. 

As a result, the College has produced leaders 

and achievers in business, medicine, public 

service, education, professional sport and the 

arts. Most importantly, St Paul’s is an inclusive 

community that seeks to not only educate, but 

shape leaders and influencers committed to 

justice and respect who are well equipped to 

meet the challenges of the modern world. 

From 2025 the College looks forward to 

welcoming both young men and women as we 

continue to meet the emerging needs of our 

local community. We welcome your enquiries 

and encourage you to book a College tour led 

by our Principal, Mr Michael Reid. 

What Our Parents Say About St Paul’s 

“A wonderful school that makes each boy feel noticed 

and included - every parent’s dream! You can 

immediately see from the way the boys across all the 

years interact between both themselves and the amazing 

staff, that St Paul’s is more than achieving their goal of 

producing kind, respectful, hard-working young adults. 

We couldn’t have asked for a better school for our son.” 

Julie 

Year 7 mother 

“St Pauls has provided my son with the care and attention 

he needed in his transition to high school exceeding all my 

expectations. Coming from a small school to a high school 

setting and not knowing any other student, St Paul’s care 

and nurturing for my son was a relief; he has settled in more 

quickly than I could have imagined. There is a strong sense 

of community within the school, led by teachers and staff 

that have truly made our transition to high school a breeze.”

programs, and effective use of technology. 

We take pride in our nurturing community and 

academic peer culture, where achievements 

are celebrated. Girls have access to 

our Evening Study Centre, professional

Tailored Learning for Girls 

At Wenona, we cater to girls’ specific learning 

needs by offering distinct Junior School,

individuality and foster self-efficacy and

a love of learning, encourage risk-taking, 

and promote confidence and independence. 

Our teachers are well-versed in how girls 

learn, and care deeply about each student’s 

progress.

Our residential program accommodates 48 

boarders in Years 7 to 12, who come from 

local, rural, and remote communities across 

Australia and abroad. Our boarders enjoy a 

unique city location with easy access to a 

wealth of cultural opportunities. Wenona’s 

philosophy values diversity and inclusiveness. 

Key Features: 

• Wenona’s approach is based on a deep 

understanding of how girls think, work, and feel. 

Research shows that girls feel most empowered 

in single-sex education environments. We provide 

guidance and encouragement for our students to 

become confident, resilient, and live with grace.

and research needs of Senior College students. It is

“When the time comes for our young women to leave 

Wenona and pick up their mantle, they graduate as women 

of character, ready to take their place in the world.” 

Dr Briony Scott 

Wenona Principal 

As a leading day and boarding school, Wenona reflects the strength of character and the pioneering 

spirit of women leaders throughout its 137 year history. Today, our expectations remain high. 

Academic achievement is important, but we also help each girl to cultivate her emotional intelligence. 

By gaining a deeper understanding of her identity and finding purpose through connection to 

community, our students graduate from Wenona with the confidence they need to lead and thrive in 

today’s world.

Founded in 1989, the German International 

School Sydney (GISS), offers a complete 

multilingual school education from 

Preschool to Year 12 combining the 

curriculum of both the New South Wales 

syllabus and the German State Thuringen, 

following the NSW school calendar year. 

Students are taught according to their 

individual language skill set ensuring a 

nurturing environment for both German 

and non-German speaking children alike. 

Years 11 and 12 students have the 

opportunity to embrace the International 

Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB) 

recognised worldwide as the best preuniversity 

programme currently available. 

A wholistic approach to teaching at GISS 

aims to develop internationally minded 

people with a curiosity and enthusiasm 

for learning. 

• In 2022 we opened three new passive house 

classrooms incorporating biophilic design 

to create an engaging and healthy learning 

environment. 

• GISS offers on-campus After School Care 

for Kindy to Year 6 students daily from 

3.15 to 6pm. Various activities such as 

construction, creative arts, DIY projects,

Since the late 20th century, a shift in 

understanding has occurred about how 

we teach students. New approaches to 

learning emphasise the importance of 

deep understanding in order to facilitate a 

lifelong love of learning in students and the 

flexible thinking capacities needed to meet 

the demands of an ever-changing world. 

Students need learning environments where 

active, deep and authentic thinking occurs 

over time. 

Glenaeon has long recognised the need 

for a balanced and enriched approach to 

learning, responsive to the developmental 

phases of childhood and adolescence and 

the nurturing of the child’s imagination, 

creativity and active thinking.

global perspectives through their everyday 

experiences both in and outside of the classroom. 

You can truly experience the best of both worlds 

at SJIS.

About Meriden 

For 125 years, Meriden has been providing 

girls an enriching learning environment that 

empowers them to achieve their potential. 

Educating students from Pre-Kindergarten 

to Year 12, Meriden is one of Sydney’s topperforming 

independent girls’ schools. We offer 

a rigorous curriculum, a dynamic pastoral care 

program and a wide range of sport, music and 

cocurricular opportunities. 

Meriden girls are encouraged to find their 

voice, become independent thinkers, take 

responsibility for their learning and make a 

positive difference to their community. The size 

of our school allows us to offer a wide subject 

choice and countless opportunities beyond the 

classroom to ensure all our students are able to 

explore their talents and areas of interest. 

A Christian foundation enriches life at 

Meriden, with every member of the School 

community encouraged to live out our values 

of compassion, integrity, courage and respect. 

When girls graduate from Meriden at the end 

of Year 12, they take with them the skills and 

attributes to thrive in an ever-changing world. 

Meriden’s diverse and vibrant working 

environment attracts highly-qualified 

educational professionals who are leaders 

in their areas of expertise. Our talented and 

dedicated staff members keep Meriden at the 

forefront of girls’ education. 

Location 

Meriden’s central location, in the heart of 

Strathfield, makes travelling to the School from 

all areas of Sydney and surrounding regions 

convenient and direct. Our students come 

from local suburbs and from further afield and 

Meriden has its own fleet of private buses to 

complement the many public transport routes 

to the School. 

Meriden’s three campuses are located adjacent 

to one another. Each campus is designed 

according to the developmental needs of its 

students to maximise learning. Their proximity 

fosters a unique sense of community spirit and 

school pride across all age groups. 

Beyond the classroom 

During their time at Meriden, students are 

encouraged to immerse themselves in a wide 

range of experiences to develop a portfolio of 

achievement in areas including public speaking, 

debating, the Australian Army Cadets and social 

justice initiatives. Our cocurricular program is 

broad and every girl has the opportunity to try 

new things and find her niche. 

Meriden’s thriving Music Department aims to 

foster a love of music in every student. The 

School’s many choirs and instrumental groups 

cater to every music style and level of ability. 

Our musicians have a myriad of performance 

opportunities throughout the year to showcase 

their latest repertoire. Girls with exceptional 

musical talent may be invited to join the 

Amadeus Program, which provides specialised 

support that nurtures each student’s musical 

development. 

Meriden’s highly-regarded sporting program 

offers a variety of team and individual 

sports and encourages every girl to care for 

her physical wellbeing. The School has a 

remarkable record of sporting achievement, 

with Meriden girls having represented Australia 

in athletics, swimming, water polo, badminton 

and tennis. The School’s Olympus Program 

caters to the educational and sporting needs of 

our elite athletes, supporting them to fulfil their 

academic and sporting potential. 

Encouraging students to give back to the 

community and care for one another is an 

integral part of life at Meriden. Our students 

gain a deep understanding of the importance 

of making meaningful contributions to the 

community through their participation in 

fundraising and community service activities. 

Every student leaves Meriden with first-hand 

experience of what it means to be an active and 

engaged citizen.

MLC School is an independent, non-selective 

Uniting Church school for girls from Pre- 

Kindergarten to Year 12 in the Inner West 

of Sydney. From Pre-Kindergarten through 

to their time as Senior School students, 

MLC School girls dare to be more. In 2020, 

MLC School was the highest-ranked IB School 

in Australia. 

Led by a highly professional staff under the 

guidance of Principal Lisa Moloney, girls 

are challenged and encouraged to question 

traditional perceptions and roles of women 

and are instilled with the skills and confidence 

to take their place in an ever-changing 

society. MLC School prepares girls for a life 

of learning by motivating them to pursue 

excellence, demonstrate integrity, celebrate 

diversity, embrace world citizenship and live 

with humility. A wide selection of subject 

choices, as well as an extensive co-curricular 

program aims to empower girls to be selfreliant 

and play an active role in their futures. 

Senior Centre 

The award-winning Senior Centre, opened 

in 2019, takes classroom practice to a new 

level and is reflective of modern workplaces. 

The aim is to equip girls with the skills 

to be successful in a collaborative, team 

environment and to be comfortable in 

open-planned, flexible spaces designed for 

impromptu group work sessions. 

Immersive Learning 

Year 7 to Year 10 are pivotal years at 

MLC School where girls experience Immersive 

Learning journeys that broaden each year. 

The experiences, that may take place locally, 

regionally, or abroad, aim to broaden horizons, 

encourage resilience and foster a growth 

mindset to underpin success in their senior 

years of schooling. Each immersive learning 

experience is unique in its design, but they 

all have some common threads that link the 

experiences together. Academically, each girl 

takes responsibility for her own path in the 

final years, and this is a crucial stage in her 

journey towards becoming an independent, 

fearless and empowered young woman. 

HSC and IB in the Senior School 

Girls can choose between the Higher 

School Certificate (HSC) or the International 

Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, with 

nearly 40 per cent of students choosing to 

study the IB. In 2021, the School was named 

No 1 IB School in Australia and a Top 50 

Global IB School. Over 67 MLC School girls 

have achieved the IB Diploma score of 45/45 

since the programme was introduced in 

2002, and all girls consistently score well. 

Visit the campus, meet the girls and 

professional teaching staff, and experience 

the benefits of joining the MLC School 

community. 

MLC School offers a range of scholarships, 

including the Principal’s Scholarship, 

scholarships for new students, continuing 

students, all-rounders, music students 

and daughters of Old Girls. Some of our 

scholarships are means tested.

Why St Scholastica’s College for Your Daughter? 

St Scholastica’s College is a Catholic, 

independent school in the Good Samaritan 

tradition, for girls in Years 7-12. Our day and 

boarding school – affectionately known as 

‘Schols’ – has been educating young women 

for 140 years, instilling values which have 

their foundations in the Catholic faith and the 

inspiration of the Parable of the Good Samaritan 

in the Gospel (Luke 10: 25-37). 

We proudly describe our College as a ‘school 

like no other’ because of the rare balance 

between academic achievement, creativity 

and excellence in the Arts and sports, in an 

environment that gives emphasis to personal 

growth, nurturing pastoral care, inclusion, 

diversity and respect. Schols has a rich history 

of educating international, metropolitan, rural, 

regional and remote students and reducing the 

educational gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait 

Islander girls. 

Our educational offering – through innovation 

and evidence-based continual development – 

challenges young women to become citizens 

who will make a positive difference to the 

world. A Schols education is holistic and 

strongly grounded in academic and personal 

growth, developing young women to become 

wise, just, compassionate, balanced, and 

well equipped for an ever-changing world. 

The College actively promotes the essential 

values of Hospitality, Compassion and Justice, 

Stewardship, Harmony and Wisdom. 

Opportunities for local community outreach 

and immersion in the works of the Sisters of 

the Good Samaritan domestically and abroad 

add great depth to the experiences at Schols. 

A broad range of social justice initiatives 

underpins our faith in action and builds a strong 

sense of other. 

St Scholastica’s College is a wonderful place 

for boarders to live, learn and be taught. Within 

a beautiful and peaceful landscape a rich and 

diverse community of parents, students and 

staff all play a vital role in living the Benedictine 

values of the College. It does not replace home 

but it is a great place to make lifelong friends. 

As a Catholic School, the study of Religious 

Education is compulsory in all years. The 

foundations of the College exist within the 

Parable of the Good Samaritan and the strength 

of the Benedictine tradition. 

• At St Scholastica’s College, we strive to provide 

the very best learning opportunities 

• Our aim is to develop young women with a moral 

compass, well qualified and equipped to make 

their way in the world. We do this by instilling 

a love of learning, an inquiring mind and an 

entrepreneurial spirit. Students also benefit from 

exposure to a diverse school community featuring 

international, Indigenous and boarding students 

from a wide variety of backgrounds 

• Artmaking, students explore and make 2D, 3D 

and/or 4D artworks in forms which may include 

drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, digital 

imaging, time-based forms or sculpture 

• Visual Arts at Schols also offers a course in 

Photography and Digital Media 

• Whether engaged in drawing, painting, ceramics 

or any number of other visual art forms on offer, 

students are enabled to communicate ideas 

visually, to understand how imagery impacts the 

world and, practically, to develop their own body 

of unique work 

• Music at Schols encompasses choirs, instrumental 

ensembles, bands and chamber orchestras 

• Schols participates in the Catholic Girls’ 

Secondary Schools Sports Association (CGSSSA) 

whose mission is to promote a sporting 

environment that fosters enthusiasm, friendly 

competition, skill development, personal 

excellence and a lifelong interest in sport

Centrally located in Sydney’s thriving 

inner-west, Trinity Grammar School 

enrols boys from a wide variety of ethnic 

and religious backgrounds and many 

different suburbs across Sydney. 

With a rich history of guiding and 

educating young men, Trinity has been 

building its reputation for excellence since 

1913, providing students with a thoroughly 

Christian education in mind, body, and 

spirit. Trinity recognises that these three 

elements need to be working in tandem 

to support students as they grow to be 

good men of character who will care 

about others, our world, and themselves. 

A learning community, Trinity knows that 

the growth and development of the mind 

is a crucial concern. Through the formal 

curriculum and the classroom, students 

are encouraged to ask questions, 

discover real-world applications, and 

become lifelong learners. The breadth of 

choice within Trinity’s curriculum allows 

students to explore their interests – 

whatever they may be – and experience 

challenging courses that allow them to 

achieve academic excellence through 

hard work and great teaching. 

Trinity is also a community of movement 

– whether that’s on the sports fields, 

on stage dramatically and musically, 

across chess boards, through water, 

in choirs, Cadets or debates. As they 

move, students develop discipline, 

resilience, healthy habits, and teamwork, 

complementing their academic learning. 

Underpinning all learning and 

development at Trinity is a Christian faith. 

Standing on an Anglican foundation, 

what sets the School’s heart to beat 

is a humble response to God. Trinity 

is committed to ensuring each boy is 

individually known, cared for, and guided 

to grow. Informed by a Christian ethos, 

Trinity partners with families to help raise 

young men who embody trustworthiness, 

decency and respect. 

From Prep to Year 12, Trinity challenges 

and supports students as they grow, 

encouraging them to be enquiring, 

creative, caring global citizens.

Extraordinary Education:

Kenthurst Road, Kenthurst | hillsgrammar.nsw.edu.au 

Hills Grammar is committed to “locating the 

genius in every child,” and has embedded 

entrepreneurial education across the whole 

school from Pre-K to Year 12. 

“An innovative school is future focused, 

collaborative and always looking for ways to 

improve the teaching and learning experience 

of its students, so they are equipped to face 

the world with confidence, courage, and 

agency,” said Karen Yager, the School’s Principal. 

“Hills Grammar was founded by people who 

personified entrepreneurialism. They had the 

vision, imagination, and skills to courageously 

create a new school.” 

Mrs Yager says this entrepreneurial spirit, 

combined with a solid academic foundation, 

“is essential for continued individual success 

and prosperity in a competitive and democratic 

society. 

This focus on entrepreneurialism has been 

successful because it is embraced and planned 

collaboratively from early childhood through to 

Year 12 and is aligned with our strategic plans,” 

she adds. 

Year 5 students are involved in two 

entrepreneurial projects: Market Day and the 

S.E.A.T. Project. Each year, the multi-purpose 

hall is transformed into a busy marketplace for 

the annual Year 9 Commerce Market Day. All of 

these projects require students to collaborate 

in teams, to be creative and innovative, and to 

adopt an entrepreneurial, ethical approach. 

Mrs Yager says it has been inspiring to see 

the increased confidence and agency of the 

students who are now contributing to major 

school projects. “The elected Early Childhood 

Children’s Council presents major resolutions 

on changes they would like to see. 

Year 5–12 students have designed the school 

mobile phone policy and our approach to 

microcredentialing. More students have 

developed start-up businesses,” she says. 

“There is a shared belief that the students, 

parents, and staff can work together to make a 

difference.” 

“The School is looking to the future with the 

development of a new stage 3 enrichment 

program based on entrepreneurial mindsets”, 

adds Mrs Yager. 

“We are seeking community, industry, and 

university partnerships, supporting student 

start-ups, and providing places where 

innovative ideas and blue-sky thinking can 

thrive.”

St Benedict College Learning Framework Tree 

is symbolic of our learner; she is at the heart of 

the tree, its trunk. Just like the tree, our learner 

grows and changes in the years she is a student 

at the College. 

The Framework is based on our belief that 

Learning at the College is inspired and informed 

by our Benedictine, Good Samaritan heritage. 

Our students are encouraged to contribute to 

our Catholic community with the gifts given to 

them and learn how to use these gifts to make 

a difference in the world. 

Learning experiences at Mount St Benedict 

College are developed in response to the 

diverse needs of our students, leading to a 

wide range of opportunities that meet the 

needs of individual students. 

We encourage our girls to seek and cultivate 

the best within themselves and strike a fulfilling, 

manageable balance in their experiences of 

love, work and play. In our holistic vision of 

education, students are able to build their 

confidence through our wellbeing structure 

that includes a community of house groups and 

vertical homerooms, Residential Education and

Georges River Grammar is an independent, 

co-educational school for students from 

Kindergarten to Year 12, located in South 

West Sydney. Affectionately known as GRG, 

the School is a dynamic and supportive 

environment that offers students varied 

opportunities for a holistic and engaging 

education which enables every GRG student 

to thrive, grow and prosper. 

GRG is committed to providing students with 

a safe, encouraging, and nurturing learning 

environment, whereby each student is 

known and supported throughout their own 

unique learning journey and provided with 

opportunities to experience success and 

achievement. We are a community where the 

values of sacrifice, community, compassion, 

and service take pride of place. 

Our highly professional and committed staff 

challenge each student to extend themselves 

in their academic, social, physical, and spiritual 

endeavours. Empowered with the knowledge, 

skills and capabilities required in our everchanging 

world, our students are developed 

into compassionate, resilient, engaged and 

accomplished lifelong learners. 

GRG recognises that the physical learning 

environment also has a strong influence on 

student learning. GRG is a well-resourced 

school, with state-of-the-art facilities, that 

allows students to come to school each day 

ready to learn and be proud of their school. 

Learning @ GRG 

The construction of an enriching, supportive 

and challenging learning environment 

promotes a culture of academic excellence 

at GRG. Students are encouraged to think 

independently, take responsibility for their 

learning, and develop academic resilience. 

Differentiation is the key to ensuring that each 

individual student’s strengths and weaknesses 

are considered in the creation of responsive, 

innovative and engaging programs that 

allows every student the opportunity to reach 

their potential. 

Finding individual pathways of learning for 

each student through the creation of a rich, 

diverse and engaging curriculum allows GRG 

students to discover their own talents and 

pursue their passions. 

Co-Curricular & Sporting Programs @ GRG 

GRG also offers an extensive co-curricular 

program that provides students with many 

opportunities to reach their personal best 

outside the classroom. The list of options for 

the students to choose from grows each year: 

Duke of Edinburgh, Study Hub, Debating, 

Public Speaking, various clubs and after-school 

activities, as well as an extensive performing 

arts and peripatetic music program, are just a 

few of the co-curricular activities on offer. 

The GRG Sports Program plays an integral 

role in the life of students at GRG. The School 

fosters a sporting environment which caters 

for the diverse school community through the 

provision of a variety of sporting activities for 

all students who wish to participate in sport 

and physical activity, regardless of ability. 

Student Wellbeing @ GRG 

Wellbeing underpins every aspect of a 

student’s schooling; from their ability to learn, 

their capacity to build positive relationships 

and ultimately their educational outcomes. We 

believe that working in partnership with parents 

and families is essential to student wellbeing, 

and developing effective partnerships built 

on trust, respect, and shared responsibility, 

means that our students flourish. 

The key components of positive psychology 

are embedded throughout GRG, as students 

learn the importance of developing a growth 

mindset, serving others, and building meaning 

and purpose in their life. Our teaching staff 

have also been trained in the Berry Street 

Education Model, an evidence-based K-12 

framework which enables our teachers to 

increase the engagement of all students by 

improving their ability to self-regulate, build 

effective relationships, develop empathy, 

and the stamina and grit required to 

ultimately achieve.

Year 12 

The regional city of Bathurst hosts two expansive 

campuses of Scots All Saints College, across 

vast acres, enabling students from preparatory 

school to year 12 to experience learning in a 

rural environment. 

Living and learning in a rural environment can 

only be seen as a positive experience, with 

a range of agriculture, equestrian, debating, 

music and sporting pursuits integrated within 

the curriculum. 

Quality education in a regional school of choice 

with specialist facilities, caring, experienced 

teachers, and diverse opportunities for children 

to flourish, led to the Class of 2021 achieving 

an outstanding 15.5 per cent Band 6 result in 

the Higher School Certificate. The College also 

celebrated 37 per cent of students achieving 

ATARs in the top 20 per cent of the State. 

Student achievements have been helped with 

investment into a state-of-the-art Innovation 

Centre that was recently built on the junior 

campus providing integrated and virtual learning 

activities. There are plans for a STEM centre to 

be built on the senior campus next year. 

“We understand the impact an education 

in STEM can have on students entering the 

workforce,” says Scots All Saints head of 

college, Richard Ford. 

A large number of sports fields, outdoor allweather 

and inside courts and a pool ensure a 

range of competitive and recreational sports are 

available for students. There is a comprehensive 

library as well as a range of recreational reading 

spaces on the junior campus. 

Scots All Saints is the only co-educational 

boarding school in the regional city of Bathurst, 

and with over 100 acres of land makes it one 

of the largest campuses in Australia. The acres 

includes a working farm for cattle and sheep as 

well as an equestrian centre. 

Three well-appointed residential boarding 

houses means full-time, weekly and shortterm 

boarding accommodation is available to 

students from years 7 to 12. Located on campus, 

the accommodation enables students to walk to 

class and participate in after-school tutorial and 

homework programs, the math and chess clubs, 

as well as sport and community activities. 

A key feature for boarding is that accommodation 

is available for parents who want to travel to 

Bathurst to attend a sporting fixture, a drama 

performance or other events at the College. 

At the heart of the College is a sense of 

belonging. The mission of Scots All Saints 

College is to develop students into men and 

women with a firm foundation for life built on the 

Gospel of Christ. 

Helping children to develop skills of empathy 

and compassion, and to be informed about the

REDEEMER BAPTIST SCHOOL 

SYDNEY WEST 

www.redeemer.nsw.edu.au 


Redeemer Baptist School is a Pre-Kindergarten 

to Year 12 Christian school situated in a 

magnificent heritage site at North Parramatta 

with easy access to public transport. The 

School is committed to a Christian worldview 

in education and renowned for its academic 

standards. A comprehensive range of subjects 

and extra-curricular activities is offered for all 

ages, including vocational education options 

in the Senior School. 

Redeemer seeks to create a learning 

environment which is thoughtful, free, sharing 

and respectful rather than competitive, tense, 

self-serving and fearful. The School is a 

ministry of Redeemer Baptist Church. Staff are 

members of the Ministry Order of the Church. 

The sacrificial life of this religious community 

forms a base for a teaching and learning 

environment where people may discover 

friendship, pray for each other, and help the 

weakest. Individual learning is encouraged 

privateschoolsguide.com/redeemer-baptist-school-north-parramatta-nsw 

without usurping the responsibility of care for 

each other. 

School Camps provide a range of adventures 

as well as opportunity to reflect and 

build community. 

Our vision for Redeemer students is that they 

will contribute to individuals and society in 

good and strong ways. We hope that their 

lives will be formed by the Christian virtues— 

faith, hope and love—which by God’s grace 

they will have seen in operation among those 

who belong to Jesus at Redeemer. 

The championship record of Redeemer 

students in sport demonstrates skill, strength 

and team spirit. Redeemer students have won 

SWISSA soccer, netball, Oztag, swimming, 

athletics and cross country zone carnivals. At 

state level Combined Independent Schools 

(CIS) swimming and athletics carnivals, 

Redeemer Primary and Secondary students 

have won gold, silver and bronze medals.

As an independent Orthodox co-educational 

day school, All Saints Grammar students 

enjoy opportunities not usually found in 

Australian schools. 

Located in Belmore in Sydney’s Inner South 

West, All Saints Grammar offers a worldclass 

education with strong foundations in 

Hellenic culture at its PreKinder, Primary and 

Secondary campuses. The School’s values 

are grounded in the Christian values of the 

Greek Orthodox faith, welcoming students 

from many different faiths and backgrounds. 

Our pillars – Faith, Excellence and Respect 

– guide teaching and learning and are 

embedded in the daily life of our school. 

At All Saints Grammar, we prepare each 

child for a global future – nurturing and 

encouraging them to flourish and grow with 

our Wellbeing For Learning approach, and 

serve the world through our unique, holistic 

and future-focused program. The School is 

committed to helping families preserve and 

pass on their heritage through a program, 

which is firmly grounded in Hellenic culture 

and Orthodox Christian faith. 

The School’s vision places significance on 

the holistic development of the student, and 

the importance of student engagement in the 

educational experience through the provision 

of quality learning experiences. 

For every child to reach their full learning 

potential and achieve their goals, the School 

offers academic enrichment to students 

requiring support, extension or acceleration. 

Our Learning Services staff oversee the 

transition of students from Primary to 

Secondary, recognising and supporting their 

needs through close collaborations with 

parents and teachers. Student progress is 

monitored closely, with consistent classroom 

support, one-on-one programs and small 

group interventions offered. Our Gifted and 

Talented staff understand the importance of 

nurturing the gifts and abilities of extension 

students to create self-confident learners 

who remain engaged, are resilient and have 

a strong mindset of self-efficacy. Extension 

lessons across a range of subject areas are 

offered to small groups, encouraging inquirybased 

learning and critical thinking. 

• Our PreKinder provides an environment that is 

safe, nurturing and exciting, where children can 

make sense of the world, their place and the 

infinite possibilities 

• Our Primary Campus (K-6) is a dynamic and 

stimulating place, where we guide our students to 

grow and develop into confident, lifelong learners 

• Our Secondary Campus (7-12) prepares students

rich and rewarding life beyond the school gate

learning community, in an environment enriched by 

outstanding care, and where they are challenged 

to be themselves at their best. At ASG, every

an individual through a range of programs that help 

students strive for excellence and support their 

holistic development 

• Opportunities in the Arts, Music, Sport and other 

Co-curricular activities abound, not only enhancing 

learning opportunities, but helping students find 

their own unique talents, lead a healthy, balanced 

lifestyle and expand their horizons

The pillars of wellbeing and learning, 

underpinned by a firm Christian foundation 

and a culture of excellence, are trademarks of 

Danebank’s community of learners. 

Danebank girls and young women are at the 

heart of everything that we do; we’ve created 

our unique learning environment with their 

needs in mind. We hear, nurture, care for and 

celebrate every girl. 

Relationships, founded on trust and support, 

are so important here, not just for our girls, but 

for our whole community. We actively partner 

with families and encourage your engagement 

in your daughter’s learning. 

Not just learning, but learning how to learn 

Our holistic approach to learning and the 

depth of our enriched learning and wellbeing 

programs are reflected in remarkable academic 

results. We develop the broader base of skills, 

dispositions, habits of mind, values, attitudes 

and character that our girls need to flourish. 

Our girls are not just learning – they are 

learning how to learn. 

To ensure an engaging, forward-looking and 

fully-rounded experience, we focus on five key 

ways of learning: 

• Reflective Learning: Students being willing 

and able to become more strategic about 

learning. Good learners are aware of how 

their learning is going and are able to make 

decisions accordingly. 

• Wellbeing Learning: Supporting our learning 

by knowing ourselves and having proven 

strategies to build on our strengths and 

improve our sense of wellbeing. 

• Relational Learning: Being ready, willing 

and able to learn alone and with others. The 

ability to listen, take turns and understand the 

viewpoints of others, even when you do not 

immediately agree. 

• Resourceful Learning: Resourceful learning 

means having a strong repertoire of attitudes 

and strategies for confronting the world when 

it becomes strange or out of control. 

• Faith and Character Learning: The foundation 

of our Danebank community. 

Wellbeing 

A Danebank girl is inspired to be herself and to 

explore who she is and who she wants to be. 

Whether you dream of becoming a scientist, artist, 

chef, lawyer, scholar, musician or an engineer, 

Danebank nurtures you to get there. 

As the first Anglican all girls school in NSW to 

become a Visible Wellbeing Partner School, 

Danebank supports girls, staff and our community 

to develop the critical pathways to thrive. 

We have an embedded, evidence-based, 

multidimensional approach to wellbeing and 

student care. This ensures that our students 

flourish academically and are empowered to 

achieve healthy wellbeing and future life success, 

while making positive life choices. 

Faith and Values 

A member of the Anglican Schools Corporation 

(TASC), Danebank provides an affordable education, 

based on the Anglican reformed faith. As a Christian 

school, we frame our planning and actions for each 

girl in the contemporary world within the context of 

the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is reflected in our 

school values: 

• Compassionate service 

• Creative collaboration 

• Respectful relationships 

• Courageous optimism 

• Personal excellence 

• Loving kindness 

• Taking responsibility

St George Christian School is a dynamic learning 

community encouraging the development of 

students’ personal character and gifts, whilst 

experiencing joy in learning and excellence in 

teaching in a supportive K-12 co-educational 

Christian environment. 

The School is based across two campuses in 

the St George region of Sydney. Our size (dual 

stream from K-6 and triple stream from 7-12) 

allows us to know each student and enables 

the provision of a breadth of subject choices 

and co-curricular activities. 

Reflecting critical stages in the life of a child, 

our school structure includes Infants (K-2), 

Junior School (3-5), Middle School (6-8) and 

Senior School (9-12) as distinct communities 

of learning, relationship and care. Each stage 

features an engaging and intellectually 

stimulating curriculum, designed to suit the 

interests, abilities and specific learning needs 

of each student. 

These stages are linked by transition programs 

designed to maintain and promote a secure, 

stable learning environment. SGCS provides 

specialist music, drama and sport (K-12), 

integrated use and training in technology, 

www.sgcs.com.au 

focused leadership development, and extracurricular 

activities in science, technology and 

creative and performing arts. 

SGCS aims to equip your child for life, by 

combining educational excellence with a 

whole person approach to intellectual, social, 

physical, emotional and spiritual development. 

Our School has a strong tradition of service to 

others, and seeks to foster within our students 

a desire to look beyond themselves, engage in 

local and global issues and participate in the 

wider community. 

As a distinctively Christian School, we believe 

that a full and meaningful life comes through 

faith in Jesus Christ and from following 

His teachings. 

Considerate, respectful and encouraging 

relationships are central to our values and 

practice. We value each child as a unique 

creation, and actively strive to foster individual 

potential, self-discipline, independence, maturity 

and good character, with a firm focus on 

preparing children for life beyond their 

schooling years. 

Learning Communities 

• Infants Sans Souci Campus is a dedicated space for our 

youngest students to begin their schooling in a personal, 

caring and supportive environment 

• Junior School focuses on the exciting, inquisitive stage of 

education where students progress towards independent, 

enquiring learning. Through skills and enquiry-based 

exploration, Junior School builds on the educational 

foundations laid in the early years. Dual streaming of 

classes enables everyone to be known, cared for and 

personally challenged 

• Middle School offers a unique educational experience, 

specifically designed to meet the developmental needs 

of students in Years 6, 7 and 8. At SGCS we recognise the 

crucial stage of early adolescence and have developed 

a Middle School focussed on providing intentional 

education for this age group 

• Senior School supports and extends students’ growth 

and development in independence, maturity, personal 

responsibility and leadership as they reach the 

culmination of their schooling and prepare for meaningful 

lives in the wider community. We aim to develop 

each student’s sense of place in the world and their 

responsibility towards others 

Learning Spaces 

• Over the past five years, SGCS has reimagined learning 

with a complete rebuild of our Infants Sans Souci Campus, 

redesign of our Junior School, and the construction of 

new campus buildings and facilities for Middle School and 

Senior School at our Hurstville Campus

A TIGS education recognises that, to 

take students from strength to strength, 

a school needs to be consistent, creative 

and customised. 

Building on learning day-by-day, within a 

caring environment, founded on Christian 

beliefs and values. Each child develops a love 

of learning to inspire them both throughout 

their School journey and beyond into the 

modern, global landscape. 

Quality education is more than an 

examination score at The Illawarra Grammar 

School. Academic results are only part of 

what makes an education one of excellence. 

At TIGS, every child is understood as an 

individual, traveling a personalised learning 

journey, empowering them to thrive in an 

everchanging world. 

Your child’s education 

The consistently strong academic record at 

TIGS speaks for itself and behind those results 

is a team of high-quality educators delivering 

a learning programme personalised to 

your child. Through a flexible framework, 

delivered according to the individual needs 

of each student, your child learns to become 

an independent thinker with the skills for 

lifelong learning. Enrichment opportunities 

allow advanced students the opportunity to 

stretch themselves, while students who need 

extra support are nurtured to discover the 

tools that will enable them to succeed. 

Your child’s experiences 

With one of the largest co-curricular offerings 

in the Illawarra region, your child can explore 

their passions and interests at TIGS. Camps 

and outdoor education opportunities extend 

students beyond their comfort zones, 

building their resilience and confidence to 

take on any challenge. Visual and performing 

arts choices help creativity and technique 

blossom onstage, backstage and in the 

studio. Fitness, team building, developing 

perseverance and grit are just some of the 

benefits of sport co-curricular offerings, with

there is a dedicated focus on your child’s 

pastoral care. Expert staff oversee every

Group Deans and the Chaplaincy Team all 

work together to provide a consistent, daily 

connection to give your child the very best 

pastoral care. 

Your child’s future 

The Illawarra and the world need new types

A generation with a wide range of skills and 

competencies, prepared to be adaptive, 

flexible, and courageous. A TIGS education 

can help your child become a leader of 

character, compassion, and critical thinking. 

To build a strong leader, you need a strong 

school to guide them – TIGS Strong.

www.inaburra.nsw.edu.au 

Inaburra School has a strong reputation as a 

school of first choice in the Sutherland Shire and 

surrounding areas. At the core of our learning 

community, we are a school where every 

individual is known and loved. 

Inaburra is, first and foremost, a learning 

community in which staff and students learn with, 

and from, one another. However, we recognise 

that students need more than just knowledge 

and understanding to flourish today and into the 

future. We have a strong commitment to student 

welfare and are intentional about teaching 

students to strengthen their sense of wellbeing. 

“I am proud to send my child to a school which 

I believe exists for the primary purpose of 

assisting in supporting & developing my child 

to be the best version of themselves that they 

can be.” (Parent) 

Inaburra has developed an excellent reputation 

for its Creative and Performing Arts, world-class 

teaching practice, excellence in its facilities, the 

use of ICT for student learning and innovative 

programs such as the Global Education Program. 

We offer diverse learning spaces, designed to 

both facilitate collaboration and give students 

opportunities to be self-directed learners. Our 

goal is to embrace the diversity in learning styles 

rather than adopt a ‘one size fits all’ approach. 

“It’s a credible institution that leads by 

example, thrives to be the best it can be with 

dedication and enthusiasm in teaching and 

understanding a child’s perspective and way 

of learning.” (Parent)

• Effective learning occurs when your students’ 

learning experiences are engaging, that is, 

when your students are doing rather than 

just listening 

• In inquiry-based learning, students take on 

more responsibility for identifying precisely 

what they need to learn and finding 

resources which will allow them to fill their 

knowledge gaps 

• Inquiry-based learning can help students 

to develop their research skills as selfdirected 

learners 

• Students learn to identify and find answers 

to the questions that they need to ask and 

the resources that they need to draw upon in 

solving problems (often a real world problem) 

At St Brigid’s Catholic College we believe 

in the capabilities of young people. We 

see our role, in partnership with parents, 

as nurturing our students to explore who 

they are and what contribution they can 

make to the world. We believe that each 

child is made unique in the image of our 

loving God and therefore deserves to be 

treated with respect and dignity as part of 

God’s creation. 

During these precious years of 

development, it is important that we provide 

a safe and supportive environment in which 

they are encouraged to discover their 

learning passion. We want our students to 

discover the wonder of finding out about 

our world and to investigate relevant and 

significant issues through exposure to the 

rich learning tasks that teachers design 

using the curriculum as a platform.

Boarding at Barker College 

is a unique experience for 

Senior students only and with a 

maximum student population of 

60, it is a tight-knit community. 

The Barker experience attracts boarders 

from the suburbs of Sydney through to 

country regions of NSW and beyond. 

The coeducational environment and 

small boarder numbers allow for the 

development of close peer relationships, 

whilst also providing accessible academic 

and personal mentoring opportunities. 

During the Senior years, the boarding 

environment has proven to be of benefit 

to many students as they focus on their 

academic program whilst maintaining a 

busy but balanced life. The necessity to 

develop independent-living skills and 

resilience is supported by strong pastoral 

care networks and programs.

At PLC Sydney, boarders 

are like a family away from 

home. Girls learn to live 

independently, while always 

being supported and nurtured 

by staff and fellow boarders. The Boarding 

House is situated at the heart of the 

College, giving the girls easy access to 

classes and co-curricular activities. It’s a 

great place to grow up. 

In the evening, girls will be gathering in 

common areas or studying in the library, 

and you’ll hear languages from around 

the world. The diversity of the girls living 

together helps build an understanding 

and acceptance of people beyond school. 

When girls graduate from PLC Sydney, 

they leave with lifelong friendships with 

young women from across the globe.

study program, designed to enhance

‘Lead It’ provides a variety of opportunities 

for Boarders to demonstrate and develop 

leadership capacity. A holistic approach 

means girls feel loved, supported, engaged 

and ready to achieve their best.

Boarding is a gateway 

to Shore and the world 

beyond, offering boys 

from diverse backgrounds the occasion to 

learn and live at one of the nation’s finest 

schools. 

Boarders have been integral to the life 

of Shore since the school was founded 

in 1889, with the Christian foundation of 

the school underpinning a safe and caring 

environment for all boys. 

Shore is a non-selective comprehensive 

school and students are challenged 

to use their talents to the best of their 

abilities. Boarders are offered a structured 

academic routine and a diverse range 

of co-curricular activities while enjoying 

modern and spacious accommodation. 

A boarding school since 1856, 

St Catherine’s blends country 

friendliness with city living to 

provide students with a strongly 

supportive home away from home. 

With only 66 places in the boarding house, 

every girl is known, nurtured and cared for by 

dedicated live-in staff. The boarding house is 

newly decorated in a fresh contemporary style 

and each girl has privacy for study and rest with 

single rooms available. 

The Eastern Suburbs campus is well located, 

just 5 minutes away from Bronte Beach and 

Centennial Parklands and less than 20 minutes 

from the CBD and Sydney Airport. 

Boarding students are involved with many afterschool 

activities and enjoy organised weekend 

outings in and around Sydney. 

Boarding is central to school life and girls form 

deep bonds, becoming an extended group of 

like-minded ‘sisters’ who find support, guidance 

and friendship in each other. Their collective and 

positive attitude weaves into the wider school, 

making for a happy, connected community.
