IGS is a co-educational and secular<br />
independent school with a bilingual focus<br />
from Early Learning to Year 12. With the core<br />
values of Diversity, Personal Achievement,<br />
Connectedness, Authenticity and Vibrancy, we<br />
aim to equip our students to be world ready.<br />
Our vibrant learning community is located<br />
in Ultimo, in the centre of Australia’s most<br />
creative, dynamic, digital precinct, a short walk<br />
to the University of Technology <strong>Sydney</strong> and<br />
the University of <strong>Sydney</strong>. Our idyllic<br />
Kangaroo Valley Retreat offers students a host<br />
of immersive experiences, including language<br />
camps, science and sustainability field studies,<br />
Shakespeare in the Glade, music camps,<br />
writers’ retreats, art en plein air, and leadership<br />
programs.<br />
Our unique languages program broadens<br />
students’ cultural understanding and<br />
communication skills. Each day from Early<br />
Learning onwards, students experience partial<br />
bilingual immersion, becoming familiar with<br />
their additional languages, which can include<br />
French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin<br />
and Spanish. Families from all backgrounds<br />
immediately feel at home in the IGS community,<br />
where difference is celebrated.<br />
At IGS, we harness the natural curiosity and<br />
energy of our youngest learners. We draw<br />
upon a broad mix of theories and philosophies<br />
in early childhood education to ensure<br />
children enjoy new and exciting opportunities<br />
for developmental play and in-depth learning.<br />
Our program is underpinned by the Early Years<br />
Learning Framework, the national curriculum<br />
of early education and care services.<br />
Our Primary program provides opportunity,<br />
challenge, and support to learners from<br />
Kindergarten to Year 6. Meeting individual<br />
learning needs has a positive effect on<br />
selfesteem and development. Our vibrant<br />
range of learning activities provides rigour,<br />
promotes acceptance of difference, and<br />
encourages research in students’ areas of<br />
interest.<br />
Students develop an understanding of<br />
themselves and their worlds through various<br />
forms of expression including Languages,<br />
Music, Visual Arts, and Drama.<br />
Our program for Years 7 and 8 aims to create<br />
a smooth transition into High School and<br />
maximise student engagement. Courses<br />
for Years 9 and 10 provide opportunities<br />
for enriched learning and are grounded in<br />
critical thinking and the ongoing development<br />
of literacy and numeracy skills, while the<br />
expanded Senior program features stimulating<br />
choices across all faculty areas and many<br />
leadership opportunities. HSC results are<br />
consistently impressive.<br />

Kincoppal-Rose Bay School of the Sacred<br />
Heart is a leading Catholic independent<br />
school, located in Rose Bay in <strong>Sydney</strong>’s<br />
Eastern Suburbs. KRB is a dynamic and<br />
forward-thinking community, abundant in<br />
tradition. Our school educates boys and girls<br />
from age 3 until the end of Year 6. From Year<br />
7 to 12, we educate young women, offering<br />
day and boarding places. Kincoppal-Rose Bay<br />
prepares students for lives of courage and<br />
confidence, educating them to discover their<br />
purpose, cultivate their talents and passions,<br />
and to commit themselves to service as global<br />
citizens of the world.<br />
ELC (3 – 5 year old students)<br />
The coeducational Early Learning Centre is<br />
inspired by the approaches used in Reggio<br />
Emilia, and the philosophies of the Forest<br />
<strong>Schools</strong> in Northern Europe. Children are<br />
encouraged to become researchers, to build<br />
upon their curiosities and wonders and to<br />
explore the mysteries of their worlds.<br />
Barat-Burn Junior School (K-6)<br />
Our co-educational Junior School provides<br />
girls and boys with a warm and nurturing<br />
community. Here they can begin to explore<br />
and further develop their interests and talents.<br />
We believe it is vital to nurture a strong sense<br />
of inquiry from a very early age, including in<br />
the key area of STEM - science, technology,<br />
engineering and mathematics.<br />
Senior School (7-12)<br />
The KRB Senior School provides students with<br />
a structured and personalised educational<br />
environment, supported by a strong and<br />
vibrant co-curricular program. From Year 7,<br />
we welcome boarders from regional NSW,<br />
interstate and overseas, which creates a rich<br />
and diverse learning environment. Our devoted<br />
and high calibre Senior School teaching team<br />
delivers a curriculum grounded in academic<br />
rigour. We foster a nurturing environment that<br />
enables students to grow to become confident,<br />
well balanced spirited adults.<br />
Teaching and Learning<br />
At KRB our teaching and learning framework<br />
articulates strategic priorities that embed<br />
excellence in learning from ELC-12. It<br />
responds to the need for agile, data-informed<br />
decision making, robust professional learning<br />
opportunities, and a genuine partnership<br />
between teachers and students as they<br />
engage in rich learning experiences.<br />
Our KRB learner attributes provide us with<br />
an aspirational vision for future-focused<br />
learning. This equips all students with the<br />
ability to develop the skills essential to meet<br />
the challenges of our rapidly evolving world.<br />
Rich learning is characterised by consistent,<br />
developmentally sequenced opportunities<br />
to build and apply critical and creative<br />
thinking processes. The explicit teaching<br />
of metacognitive skills allows students to<br />
become independent, self-regulating, life-long<br />
learners who make astute decisions and reflect<br />
critically. Our students communicate with<br />
purpose, collaborating meaningfully to build<br />
new ideas and engage in complex problemsolving<br />
initiatives. As a community of learners,<br />
these attributes allow us to journey together<br />
as we re-imagine the future of learning with<br />
courage and confidence.<br />
Student Wellbeing<br />
The KRB ELC-12 Wellbeing Framework, SELF<br />
+ (Social Emotional Learning to Flourish), has<br />
been uniquely developed to meet the needs<br />
of all KRB students as they progress through<br />
the school from our Early Learning Centre<br />
to Year 12. It is informed by the science of<br />
positive psychology and is underpinned by an<br />
understanding of the five Sacred Heart goals.<br />
Positive Education is a concept that underpins<br />
the educational experience of all students<br />
at KRB. It is defined as the combination of<br />
traditional education principles, with the<br />
study of happiness and wellbeing. Applying<br />
the key tenets of Positive Education, known<br />
as PERMAH (Positive Emotions, Engagement,<br />
Relationships, Meaning, Accomplishment and<br />
Health) is crucial to developing the well-being<br />
of students. The framework applies these by<br />
ensuring each individual develops Social,<br />
Emotional, and Learning skills in order to<br />
flourish. KRB’s Student Wellbeing framework<br />
is well-informed by current research and has<br />
a focus on the evidence-based concepts of<br />
Gratitude, Growth Mindset,<br />
Mindfulness, Resilience and the identification<br />
of Character Strengths.<br />

St Andrew’s Cathedral School is a<br />
coeducational, independent Anglican<br />
school, located in the heart of <strong>Sydney</strong>’s CBD.<br />
Reflecting our Christian foundations, we are<br />
a strong and hopeful learning community<br />
that nurtures the individual strengths of each<br />
student in our care.<br />
With a long history—we were originally founded<br />
as a Choral School in 1885—we are known for<br />
our outstanding performing arts program with<br />
25 music ensembles, including our renowned<br />
Cathedral choristers. With extensive sporting<br />
and co-curricular opportunities—from fencing,<br />
theatresports, debating, dance and drama—we<br />
also have an outstanding outdoor education<br />
program based at our property, Kirrikee, in the<br />
NSW Southern Highlands.<br />
As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World<br />
School, our middle school students are taught<br />
the NSW school curriculum through the IB<br />
Middle Years framework and Senior College<br />
students can choose to study either the HSC or<br />
the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma.<br />
We are the quintessential city school, located<br />
in two high-rise buildings in the centre of<br />
<strong>Sydney</strong>’s CBD, enriching our curriculum<br />
with city experiences, all on our doorstep.<br />
Our buildings are purposefully designed,<br />
light filled learning spaces for Junior School,<br />
Middle School and a dedicated pre-tertiary<br />
environment for Senior College.<br />
Our school within a school, Gawura, is a highly<br />
regarded model, noted for its innovative<br />
approach to a First Nations-led education<br />
within a mainstream system and was named<br />
2020 Australian School of the Year. As the<br />
School of the Year judges observed, Gawura is<br />
a ‘lighthouse program in Indigenous education<br />
with wonderful, almost unheard-of outcomes.’<br />
Our teachers are experts in their chosen fields<br />
who very much enjoy the relational nature of<br />
teaching and who engage in the character<br />
development of each child, both within<br />
and outside the classroom. They are also<br />
passionate about developing their practice<br />
and benefit from a progressive professional<br />
learning program. Many of our teachers<br />
are invited to present at state and national<br />
educational conferences and professional<br />
associations, and as an educational leader, we<br />
hold conferences, host international experts<br />
and encourage thought leadership.<br />
What makes St Andrew’s Cathedral School different<br />
• Our Christian tradition means we have essential<br />
convictions about the dignity of every student—each<br />
one unique, loved by God and gifted for a purpose.<br />
• Expert teachers - we promote best practice<br />
teaching by encapsulating the best of explicit<br />
teaching, inquiry-based learning and cognitive<br />
science, all combined with the aim of fostering<br />
deep learning.<br />
• We are an IB world school: MYP and Diploma<br />
- we teach global mindedness: an openness<br />
to the world, so that our students learn to<br />
appreciate difference and recognise their deep<br />
interconnectedness with others.<br />
• At home in the city - our students enjoy an enriched,<br />
global curriculum and immediate access to cultural<br />
and tertiary institutions, innovation, hubs, and<br />
business and social entrepreneurs.<br />
• We always seek to care for the whole child -<br />
considering their intellectual, physical, social,<br />
emotional, and spiritual wellbeing and development.<br />
• Character development is fundamental to our<br />
pursuit of academic excellence and is at the heart of<br />
our teaching and pastoral care.<br />

perseverance that comes from years of practice, the courage to step onto<br />

principles of positive psychology, is designed to<br />
develop girls’ wellbeing and help them flourish.<br />
The philosophy is based on evidence based<br />
positive psychology, the VIA character<br />
strengths and the school values of courage,<br />
integrity, relationships, and service.<br />
We help develop girls’ wellbeing by building:<br />
• Positive emotions<br />
• A resilient mindset<br />
• Academic tenacity<br />
• Strong relationships<br />
Just like your daughter, her teachers will be<br />
well supported, highly trained and always<br />
refining their skills in the classroom. They are<br />
taught the same positive mindset we teach the<br />
girls because when we’re all on the same page,<br />
the pathway to learning is so much clearer.<br />
When our girls leave, they are well-educated,<br />
well-rounded and well-balanced – ready to step<br />
into our ever-changing world.<br />
At St Catherine’s, we help every girl find her<br />

St Vincent’s College is a non-selective,<br />
contemporary Catholic day and boarding<br />
school for girls. The current ethos and approach<br />
is based on a belief that an independent<br />
education should provide advantage<br />
not entitlement.<br />
The College avoids visible ostentation,<br />
balances opportunities with responsibilities<br />
and invites students to learn in a culture that is<br />
informing, transforming and empowering.<br />
Our motto ‘Scientia cum Religione’ (knowledge<br />
and religion united) calls us to take the wisdom<br />
and understanding that comes with education<br />
and combine it with the virtues and values of<br />
religion – love, compassion, care, justice – so<br />
that we may truly live a life modelled on that of<br />
Jesus and his concern for people.<br />
Essentially, as we look to a future filled with<br />
opportunity for women in Australia, St Vincent’s<br />
College is all about empowering young women<br />
to be independent in thought, compassionate<br />
in attitude and confident to act.<br />
Students are encouraged to discover their<br />
athletic ability with individual and team sports;<br />
release their creativity with our performing and<br />
creative arts; share their generous spirit with<br />
social justice groups; and build strength of<br />
character with leadership opportunities.<br />
Students can participate in classes such as<br />
dance, Performance Arts, acting, debating,<br />
public speaking, choral and instrumental music<br />
and the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.<br />
The College Sport Program attracts high levels<br />
of participation by all students. Students are<br />
encouraged to choose at least one team or<br />
individual sport each term from an extensive<br />
range of options including basketball, netball,<br />
hockey, softball, cricket, volleyball, touch,<br />
soccer, water polo, athletics, cross country,<br />
swimming, diving, gymnastics and skiing.<br />
All students in Years 7 to 10 enjoy annual an<br />
Outdoor Education Camp. Years 11 and 12<br />
students undertake Retreats that strengthen<br />
their relationships with God and friends.<br />
Our educational philosophy recognises the<br />
individuality and giftedness of each student<br />
and it promotes the development of her<br />
intellectual, spiritual, emotional, physical and<br />
aesthetic qualities. The modern curriculum<br />
combines the Ignatian philosophy with the best<br />
of pedagogical practices.<br />
Extended Day Program<br />
St Vincent’s College offers students from Years 7 to<br />
12 supervised study which includes supervised study,<br />
support and assistance as required.<br />
Extended Day is held in the Learning Resource<br />
Centre with a teacher as the supervisor. This<br />
initiative is to assist our strategic priority of Academic<br />
Excellence. It also offers girls an opportunity to<br />
complete their homework and study so they can go<br />
home to spend time with their family.<br />
Developing Personal Excellence<br />
Personal excellence is encouraged by offering<br />
each student a diverse and challenging curriculum<br />
delivered by professional, enthusiastic and<br />
caring educators.<br />

The Scots College is more than just a school<br />
for boys. An Early Years to Year 12 education<br />
that no other school can offer, this is the Scots<br />
Advantage. We prepare boys to succeed in a<br />
world that is constantly being reinvented.<br />
The Scots College is a distinctive Australian<br />
school that defends the honourable traditions,<br />
adventures and learning of boys. We exist to<br />
inspire boys to learn, lead and serve as they<br />
strive for excellence together. Scots has been<br />
raising fine young men since 1893 from <strong>Sydney</strong>,<br />
New South Wales and many different nations<br />
from around the world.<br />
Academic excellence is critically important,<br />
and our record demonstrates our success. But<br />
Scots aims for an even higher goal. We prepare<br />
boys to succeed in a world that is constantly<br />
being reinvented.<br />
Our deep understanding of how boys grow<br />
and learn is captured in our Brave Hearts Bold<br />
Minds philosophy. This means we support<br />
every boy, at every stage of development, to<br />
become a confident, well-grounded young man<br />
of integrity. They will become the fine young<br />
men of the next generation who will, in their<br />
turn, reinvent their world. This is why academic<br />
success alone does not prepare boys for the<br />
www.scots.college<br />
future. A strong sense of identity, values, and<br />
character is vital.<br />
The College has intentionally chosen a path<br />
where active learning works with academic<br />
excellence. Our local, national and international<br />
programs, inspire our boys to become<br />
principled, compassionate and engaged<br />
citizens of their College, their community and<br />
their world.<br />
Boarders have been a vital part of the Scots<br />
community for over a century.<br />
Boarding at Scots, available from Year 5<br />
onwards, offers high quality education in a<br />
safe and nurturing environment, where your<br />
son is supported to reach his full potential. As<br />
a boarder, your son will stay at one of our five<br />
Boarding Houses where he will be provided<br />
with strong pastoral care and individual<br />
attention while experiencing the joys of being<br />
a part of his House ‘family’.<br />
Currently the College has one major<br />
construction project underway:<br />
• Replacing the former Stevenson Library with<br />
the John Cunningham Student Centre which<br />
will become the hub of student learning<br />

There are two distinct differences at Barker<br />
College. One is that it’s a school that deliberately<br />
and intentionally allows people to thrive in a<br />
holistic sense – emotionally, physiologically,<br />
physically, academically.<br />
The second thing is that we have a firm<br />
coeducational identity and a firm expression of<br />
that. It’s a view that everybody can find a place<br />
and thrive irrespective of interests, skillset or<br />
capacity and be committed to doing that in a<br />
way that brings young men and young women<br />
together for the proper expression of human<br />
interaction and identity.<br />
Student health and wellbeing<br />
Barker is committed to creating and fostering<br />
a caring and positive Christian environment for<br />
every student, in order for our young people to<br />
be known, supported and equipped with the<br />
social and emotional tools needed to thrive.<br />
Students are immersed in holistic learning<br />
experiences where wellbeing is carefully<br />
considered and integrated into academic<br />
learning, outdoor education, service learning,<br />
Connect groups, the House system, cocurricular<br />
programs, sport, student academic<br />
care and support, and through Christian<br />
faith development.<br />
Beyond the Classroom<br />
The experience inside the classroom is only<br />
one part of a Barker education.<br />
For Pre-K to Year 6 students we offer a broad<br />
range of sporting, cultural and recreational cocurricular<br />
activities. Throughout Years 7 to 12,<br />
our students have even greater opportunities<br />
to pursue their passions. As well as Drama,<br />
Music, Cadets, Outdoor Education and over 20<br />
different sports, Barker students can challenge<br />
themselves in the areas of robotics, debating<br />
and public speaking.<br />
Building on more than 130 years of heritage,<br />
the School has grown in two areas. Firstly,<br />
there is our Indigenous education outreach<br />
program, which goes beyond boarding and into<br />
establishing Indigenous schools in partnership<br />
with Indigenous community leaders. The<br />
second is in our emphatic commitment to a full<br />
coeducational experience for our students.<br />
No two days at Barker are ever the same.<br />
Students are constantly challenging themselves<br />
– and being challenged – as they grow, expand<br />
their minds and learn to think big, practically<br />
and independently.<br />
• A Barker education is shaped by our focus on<br />
preparing for a life beyond the School gates<br />
• Every Barker student is different. What they all<br />
have in common is a confidence to embrace the<br />
challenge of the future and a capacity to make their<br />
own positive impact on the world<br />
• We are excited about the future of education at<br />
Barker and the invaluable opportunities coeducation<br />
will provide us to fulfil our vision of being a leader in<br />
Christian education that inspires global hope<br />
• From Pre-Kindergarten through to the Senior<br />
years, students are exposed to a range of diverse<br />
opportunities and experiences<br />
• Barker is a place where every student belongs, is<br />
valued and loves to be<br />
• The contemporary curriculum provides a balanced<br />
program drawing on foundational skills, guided<br />
inquiry, collaborative learning, and the appropriate<br />
use of resources, particularly technology<br />
• An understanding of social justice and a recognition<br />
of the importance of positive relationships<br />
• The development of independent and critical<br />
thinking as a means to becoming a life long learner<br />

Year 12<br />
As a non-selective Catholic independent<br />
school, Brigidine College proudly caters for<br />
students of all abilities and talents. Framed by<br />
our motto, Fortiter et Suaviter, our students are<br />
challenged to be “Women of Strength, Women<br />
of Gentleness” where we encourage all our<br />
students to explore opportunities, relish in<br />
challenges, and think beyond themselves.<br />
Our College has an optimum size of 900 students<br />
from Year 7 to Year 12, which is small enough<br />
to know all our girls yet large enough to offer<br />
a broad range of curriculum and cocurricular<br />
choices to ultimately discover their best selves.<br />
In the academic arena, we offer 35 courses for<br />
the HSC, ensuring that all girls find their passion<br />
for learning to maximise their academic success.<br />
Proudly a girls school, we see the uniqueness<br />
in every individual and shape their education<br />
in ways that fill them with a sense of purpose<br />
and success about their achievements. We<br />
make it a priority to know their differences,<br />
academic capabilities, interests and challenges.<br />
We explore opportunities to structure a more<br />
personalised, relevant curriculum that meets<br />
their needs in the present yet is flexible enough<br />
to adapt to a changing world.<br />
Our students are challenged to take risks with<br />
their learning and extend themselves to acquire<br />
and assimilate knowledge, understanding and<br />
skills. They are encouraged to use resources<br />
effectively to enhance their learning, think<br />
critically about knowledge with its inherent reallife<br />
problems and be creative and reflective in<br />
their quest for solutions. Learning at Brigidine<br />
College is an experience of imagination and<br />
realising the many possibilities that enable<br />
girls to flourish and grow into confident,<br />
accomplished, future-ready women.<br />
We invite you to learn more about Brigidine<br />
by joining us on a College tour where you<br />
will be invited to talk with our Principal, staff<br />
and students.<br />
• ACADEMIC DIVERSITY<br />
Brigidine College strives to deliver a well-rounded<br />
education that extends beyond the traditional<br />
academic expectations and experiences. We<br />
offer a diverse and challenging approach to<br />
education that celebrates a love of learning that is<br />
immersive, integrated and underpinned by realworld<br />
applied example.<br />
• COCURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES<br />
The Cocurricular program allows for young women<br />
to thrive beyond the classroom. We balance a<br />
diverse program with engaging activities including<br />
sport, music, dance, drama, speech and debating,<br />
special interest clubs, Duke of Edinburgh and<br />
immersion tours.<br />
• PERSONAL GROWTH<br />
Our small class sizes allow us to see, know and<br />
connect with every student. Our focus is on<br />
unlocking potential and inspiring our students<br />
to find their own unique strengths. At Brigidine,<br />
every student is exposed to opportunities to allow<br />
them to thrive.<br />
• WELLBEING<br />
The College seeks to provide a culture of belonging<br />
where learning and wellbeing go hand-in-hand<br />
in school life. Our Wellbeing and pastoral care<br />
programs work in conjunction with the teaching<br />
and learning of students and the development of<br />
their religious and spiritual character.<br />

Infants<br />
Year 6<br />
John Colet School, a K – 6 co-educational, multifaith<br />
school in Belrose on the Northern Beaches<br />
of <strong>Sydney</strong>.<br />
As a stand-alone primary school our focus is<br />
entirely on the 5-12 age group. We see this stage as<br />
fundamental in setting the academic foundations,<br />
as well as a love of learning, resilience and the<br />
feeling of self-worth that a child will need to enter<br />
high school and beyond.<br />
The unique aspects of our curriculum from<br />
Lower 1st through to 6th Class, such as classical<br />
languages, Shakespeare, and enriched singing<br />
and art programs, extend the students holistically<br />
while at the same time developing attention. This<br />
is all managed within a small class environment<br />
where the same teacher supports the students<br />
over a number of years.<br />
A Classical, Traditional Approach<br />
At John Colet School we are proud of taking a<br />
classical or traditional approach to learning. We<br />
believe that it is important that children have a<br />
solid foundation in literacy and numeracy skills.<br />
This involves instruction in such areas as Grammar,<br />
Handwriting, Timetables and recitation.<br />
At this crucial age this approach helps build<br />
children’s cognitive load so that they may apply<br />
themselves clearly and creatively to complex and<br />
diverse areas.<br />
Great Material<br />
Language is a fundamental element in education.<br />
How the child learns to speak and use language<br />
will largely be determined by the examples<br />
provided. For this reason, at John Colet School,<br />
we take great care in the material provided, such<br />
as the texts we use in our literature program,<br />
Shakespeare within drama and the learning of<br />
Sanskrit and Latin. A child will learn what is put in<br />
front of them.<br />
If you provide outstanding material, this is the<br />
quality of work a child will produce.<br />
Years 3 – 6 is a special and developmentally<br />
important time when students really blossom<br />
at John Colet School. Children take greater<br />
risks with their learning, build resilience,<br />
and are challenged in diverse areas. Within<br />
a supportive environment, students gain<br />
confidence in their own strengths and develop<br />
their ability to work independently and with<br />
others, ready for high school.<br />
John Colet School is happy to take students<br />
into Years 2 – 5 during the academic year,<br />
where places are available, and following a trial<br />
day. If you are considering transferring your<br />
child from their current primary school, please<br />
talk to our Registrar.<br />

In the spirit of our foundress Mary Ward who<br />
believed that “women in time to come will<br />
do much,” Loreto Normanhurst encourages<br />
young women to take their place in the world<br />
as seekers of truth and instruments of justice.<br />
The award-winning Loreto Normanhurst<br />
Student Growth Model (LNSGM) emphasises<br />
collaboration, creative and critical thinking,<br />
digital capabilities, adaptability and<br />
independence. By offering a breadth of<br />
learning experiences inside and outside<br />
the classroom, it develops our students<br />
into agile and resilient thinkers who are<br />
prepared to navigate an ever-changing<br />
global landscape.<br />
The cornerstone of the LNSGM is the FACE<br />
Curriculum, which places equal importance<br />
on the holistic development of each student<br />
across Faith, Academic, Community and<br />
Extra-curricular.<br />
The LNSGM includes our bespoke subject,<br />
Integrated Learning. This subject has a skills<br />
focus with an emphasis on cross-curricular<br />
priorities. It is delivered in flexible open learning<br />
spaces facilitated by a team of dynamic<br />
teachers from different discipline areas.<br />
The model is also supported by a strong<br />
Pastoral Care program featuring a House<br />
system and advisors and tutors who care<br />
for the students and get to know them as a<br />
whole person.<br />
Through our extensive extra-curricular<br />
programs, students have further opportunities<br />
to support their learning and growth through<br />
leadership, social justice, sport, music, oratory,<br />
speech and drama.<br />
The success of the LNSGM is evident in<br />
our consistently high HSC Results and the<br />
formation of our graduates as ‘Compassionate<br />
Warriors’: independent, articulate and<br />
compassionate women of grit, independent<br />
thinking, voice, creativity, conscious faith<br />
and service.<br />
Our fully flexible Boarding model welcomes<br />
students from ex-pat and overseas families and<br />
the <strong>Sydney</strong> basin, with 80% of our boarders<br />
coming from rural NSW. Since our foundation<br />
in 1897, Loreto Boarding has remained integral<br />

Christian, independent, co-ed school in Terrey<br />
Hills (<strong>Sydney</strong>), for students in Kindergarten<br />
to Year 12. Within our world class facilities,<br />
we expect a positive learning culture, a<br />
safe, welcoming environment, wise use of<br />
technology and positive communication.<br />
We are committed to improving student<br />
learning in all aspects of school life, within a<br />
nurturing Christian community that supports<br />
and encourages learning, growth, wellbeing,<br />
connection, belonging and community.<br />
We expect much from our students because<br />
they are capable of much. Our aim is to develop<br />
a culture that brings out the best in our students<br />
– in their learning, in their character, in the<br />
opportunities they take, the friendships they<br />
develop, and in understanding the message of<br />
the God who loves them.<br />
This rich foundation is reflected in our Vision<br />
(Love Learning), Mission (Excellence in<br />
Education, Christianity in Action) and Values<br />
(Gratitude, Respect, Courage, Compassion and<br />
Commitment), enabling us to foster a lifelong<br />
love of learning and hope for the future.<br />
In a rapidly changing world, NBCS students can<br />
look ahead with confidence and hope. Although<br />
we cannot predict the future, we believe we<br />
can prepare our young people for it. Our job,<br />
in partnership with families, is to together build<br />
an enriching school community that inspires a<br />
love of learning and the growth of our students.<br />
Love Learning permeates throughout the<br />
culture and strategic operations of our school<br />
and can be understood in six key areas of focus:<br />
Academic - We pursue and celebrate academic<br />
excellence. At the heart of NBCS is the pursuit<br />
of academic excellence. We recognise that this<br />
will look different for every student, but our<br />
hope is that each individual learning journey will<br />
be shaped by curiosity and a love of discovery.<br />
We encourage our students to go beyond the<br />
dissemination and digestion of facts, to make<br />
connections with what they are learning, to<br />
who they are and the impact they want to make<br />
on the world around them.<br />
Christian - We live and share the beauty of<br />
faith in Jesus. The second part of our Mission<br />
statement, Christianity in Action, is no less<br />
important than our commitment to academic<br />
excellence. It provides a deep framework for<br />
our community, shaping our values and culture.<br />
NBCS is built upon trust in a God who graciously<br />
loves, rescues and redeems. This provides the<br />
basis for being a community that loves and<br />
supports one another, fostering a sense of<br />
hope while recognising the diversity of faith<br />
and worldview in our broader community.<br />
Wellbeing - We nurture and grow our<br />
community. Being a high achieving, low stress<br />
school means a steadfast commitment to<br />
wellbeing. We provide our students and their<br />
families with rich resources and tools that help<br />
build resilience and a positive mindset, setting<br />
them up for success. Developing the whole<br />
person, body, heart and mind, helps to ignite a<br />
love for learning in all domains.<br />
Co-curricular - We extend opportunities and<br />
enrich lives. As each student’s learning journey<br />
will be unique, so too will the opportunities that<br />
they seek. Whether it is sport, music, creative<br />
arts, technology or outdoor adventure, we seek<br />
to give our students the chance to discover<br />
and grow their God-given talents. These<br />
opportunities can often be a gateway to new<br />
learning, enabling our students to go ahead<br />
with confidence.<br />
Staff - We shape and engage talented Christian<br />
staff. Exceptional teachers make exceptional<br />
schools. Their love for learning is the spark<br />
that fires a love of learning in our students.<br />
Developing our teachers professionally is an<br />
ongoing priority – as our teachers thrive, so too<br />
do our students.<br />
Infrastructure - We inspire and invigorate<br />
learning. Our state-of-the-art campus reflects<br />
the important balance between form and<br />
function. It has been shaped by the belief<br />
that learning spaces must meet the needs of<br />
students and teachers, while inspiring new<br />
possibilities for learning. Our facilities exist to<br />
help bring our Mission and Vision to life.<br />

Pittwater House is an independent, nondenominational<br />
school offering a wellrounded<br />
education to students from Early<br />
Childhood (pre-school) to Year 12.<br />
To ensure that each student is seen, known<br />
and cared for and staff can develop a true<br />
understanding of every child’s abilities,<br />
talents and needs, we maintain a small<br />
student population.<br />
Our School motto Semper Diligens - ‘Always<br />
Hardworking’, underpins the attitude to which<br />
we apply ourselves each day at school in all<br />
that we do.<br />
Our Core Values are represented by the<br />
mnemonic ‘HEROIC’ and signify the widely<br />
adopted expression of our purpose and<br />
interactions within our School and in the<br />
broader community.<br />
Our Structure<br />
Our School combines predominantly singlesex<br />
classes on a spacious co-educational<br />
campus, providing students with all the<br />
advantages of gender-specific teaching<br />
with the many social benefits of a co-ed<br />
environment.<br />
This approach benefits our students<br />
academically and improves their approach<br />
to learning whilst giving them the skills<br />
to be able to form respectful and positive<br />
relationships with their peers.<br />
Our Learning Approach<br />
In the classroom, our highly qualified teachers<br />
use an evidence-based teacher-framed,<br />
student-led model known as ‘Deep Learning’,<br />
enabling students to master essential<br />
academic content and to become lifelong<br />
learners.<br />
At its core are six essential competencies,<br />
which are fostered in students to inspire<br />
a progressive learning journey. These<br />
competencies help students integrate<br />
academic skills with personal and social<br />
capabilities, benefiting them in the classroom<br />
and beyond the school gates for a lifetime<br />
of learning.<br />
Outside the Classroom<br />
We offer students a broad array of cocurricular<br />
opportunities to cater to diverse<br />
interests and abilities. Most activities take<br />
place on our 3.5-hectare campus before or<br />
after school and are led by qualified staff or<br />
external professionals.<br />
Whether it be performing arts disciplines,<br />
sporting pursuits, cadets, clubs or youth<br />
development programs, Pittwater House<br />
offers your child countless ways to develop<br />
and thrive.<br />
• Predominantly single-sex classes on one<br />
co-educational campus<br />
• Passionate teachers who, as vital members of the<br />
School community, strive for excellence in teaching<br />

Pymble Ladies’ College girls bring passion<br />
and purpose into everything they do. They<br />
are change makers in the classroom, in their<br />
community and in the world.<br />
Watch Us Change the World is our statement<br />
of intent. It exists to instil courage in our young<br />
women to create the future they want to see<br />
for themselves.<br />
Since 1916, a Pymble education has equipped<br />
girls with the tools to achieve those dreams,<br />
while shaping them as influential and<br />
compassionate women. Girls at Pymble<br />
Ladies’ College are nurtured to be inquisitive,<br />
courageous, and determined, so they can<br />
make a difference that will positively change<br />
the world.<br />
Our campus sits on 50 acres of beautiful parklike<br />
grounds on <strong>Sydney</strong>’s upper North Shore.<br />
The College is a non-selective, independent<br />
school for girls from Kindergarten to Year 12,<br />
with Boarding available from Year 7.<br />
“We don’t just dream - we do”<br />
The opportunities offered to all students,<br />
both curricular and co-curricular, ensure<br />
Pymble girls have every chance to achieve the<br />
ambitions they set for themselves.<br />
Pymble has been marked with excellence<br />
throughout its 105-year history. The College<br />
has gained a reputation for offering<br />
extraordinary and well-rounded academic<br />
and co-curricular programs, with outstanding<br />
teachers and world-class facilities.<br />
“What makes Pymble so special?<br />
That’s easy. It’s our girls.”<br />
Pymble’s Strategic Direction 2021-2030 is an<br />
exciting new chapter in the life of the school<br />
and for our girls. It aims to develop the whole<br />
student, in all areas of her life, by focusing<br />
on four key intelligences – academic, social,<br />
emotional and digital. These four learning<br />
pillars are supported by the College values<br />
of Care, Courage, Integrity, Respect and<br />
Responsibility and the Mind, Body and Spirit<br />
Framework promoting holistic wellness.<br />
Year 9 Residential Program Vision Valley<br />
• Pymble Ladies’ College has a second campus at Arcadia<br />
dedicated to innovative Outdoor Education Programs for<br />
all students K-12. Set on 100 acres of beautiful bushland<br />
close to the Hawkesbury River, Vision Valley provides<br />
high-quality accommodation, sporting fields, camping<br />
areas, an archery range, a dam for canoeing and raft<br />
building, rock climbing and abseiling sites, ropes<br />
courses, mountain bike trails and a dual zip-line.<br />
• In Year 9, students embark on our four-week Residential<br />
Program at Vision Valley. Held in conjunction with Year<br />
9 students from St. Ignatius College, students live and<br />
learn away from home, with their peers, in a unique,<br />
technology-free environment which gives them time and<br />
space to connect to self, others and the environment.<br />
• Every component of the program is carefully considered<br />
to help our girls develop a stronger understanding of<br />
who they are and where they fit in the world, respectful<br />
relationships with others and a greater understanding<br />
and appreciation of the natural environment.<br />
• Learning is different at Vision Valley. Every aspect of<br />
the residential experience – from lessons to physical<br />
challenges, chores and downtime – builds real-world<br />
learning and problem-solving whilst living away<br />
from home.<br />
• The curriculum is designed to make the most of Vision<br />
Valley’s physical resources and reflects themes from<br />
the main campus, including Sustainability, First Nations’<br />
learning and Respectful Relationships, to allow a<br />
seamless transition back to main campus learning.<br />
Lessons are planned as either Integrated (combining<br />
multiple subjects) or Intensives (single subject) and can<br />
take place outdoors, at night or whenever and wherever<br />
the lesson plan will be most effective.<br />

activities. With this as its foundation and within<br />
the terms of its charter, Shore is recognised as<br />
a pre-eminent Australian school.<br />
Shore aims to provide breadth and depth in<br />
its curriculum. The courses offered allow for a<br />
degree of specialisation and provide the boys<br />
with scope to follow their particular interests<br />
and strengths. Although it is comprehensive in<br />
its intake, Shore’s HSC results are comparable<br />
to those of most of the State’s selective high<br />
schools. The strong results are based upon<br />
an emphasis on staff selection, professional<br />
development and building a strong learning<br />
culture amongst students.<br />

activities such as biathlon, sprint and strength,<br />
Surf Life Saving, shooting, rock climbing, AFL,<br />
golf, snowsports, taekwondo and water polo.<br />
Providing a strong Pastoral Care system is<br />
seen as an integral part of helping each boy<br />
at Shore reach his full potential intellectually,<br />
emotionally and spiritually. Pastoral Care<br />
is designed to assist the individual boy in<br />
enriching his personal life, prepare him for<br />
educational choice, and offer guidance and<br />
counselling to help him come to terms with his<br />
responsibilities in meeting the basic intellectual<br />
and social demands of adult life.<br />
Service Learning is also a very important<br />
component of a Shore education. Shore sees<br />
these service learning activities as means of<br />
‘Building Good Men’. Shore aims to graduate<br />
men who are compassionate and understand<br />
others, with the willingness and ability to relate<br />
to people who are different from themselves<br />
before they move on to making their<br />
contribution to the wider community.<br />

school in 1993, St Luke’s has gained the<br />
reputation for being a thriving learning<br />
community that equips students to make a<br />
difference in the world.<br />
St Luke’s Grammar School has a thriving<br />
learning culture. In recent years, the School’s<br />
academic outcomes have been consistently<br />
high, ranking 33rd in the State (2022 HSC)<br />
and 1st Independent School on the Northern<br />
Beaches since 2013. These results are a<br />
testament to the successful embedding of<br />
St Luke’s learning and wellbeing framework,<br />
coupled with the hard work and commitment<br />
of the teachers and students.<br />
The learning culture at St Luke’s is<br />
underpinned by the LEARNING@STLUKE’S<br />
framework, which provides a common<br />
learning language across the School, as well<br />
as targeted strategies to equip students with<br />
the skills they need to understand themselves<br />
as learners. The LEARNING@STLUKE’S<br />
framework moves beyond the traditional<br />
approach to learning, seeking to engage the<br />
hearts and minds of students by combining<br />
the acquisition of content knowledge with the<br />
development of character.<br />
Within the framework, which draws together<br />
research on how students learn and what<br />
abilities strengthen their capacity to learn,<br />
St Luke’s has identified 5 R’s associated with<br />
learning. Powerful learners display capacities<br />
associated with Resilience, Resourcefulness,<br />
Reflectiveness, Relational and Restoration.<br />
Two evidence-based concepts intrinsic to<br />
the LEARNING@STLUKE’S framework and<br />
fundamental to student success are having<br />
a growth mindset and developing grit. Each<br />
day at St Luke’s, we aim to help our students<br />
to understand that they have the ability to<br />
learn anything and the only limiting factor is<br />
their own mindset.<br />
• The Cottage (Pre-Kindergarten) Program at<br />
St Luke’s Grammar School offers a range of<br />
stimulating experiences that integrate structured<br />
learning with play-based activities in order to inspire<br />
wonder and connection. The program thoroughly<br />
prepares and equips students for the transition to ‘big<br />
school’ the following year.<br />
• The St Luke’s Junior School is a dynamic, safe and<br />
engaging learning environment. It holds a wellestablished<br />
reputation for enabling students to<br />
develop mastery of new knowledge and gain a deep<br />
understanding of content.<br />
• The St Luke’s Senior School aims to provide an<br />
environment where students are encouraged to grow<br />
as thoughtful and resilient learners, supportive of<br />
each other and empathetic about the world around<br />
them. They approach challenges with a sense<br />
of agency, striving for excellence by developing<br />
mastery of learning through our LEARNING@<br />
STLUKE’S Framework. Our students are humble,<br />
and see their place in the world as one where<br />
they can be of service to others. They seek out<br />
opportunities to be people of justice and grace.<br />
• Over the past 15 years, an extensive building<br />
program has transformed St Luke’s Grammar<br />
School into one of the most progressive and wellappointed<br />
learning environments on <strong>Sydney</strong>’s<br />
Northern Beaches.<br />

the needs of our students and prepare them<br />
for the world of work and post-school learning.<br />
Our students’ successes are wide ranging and<br />
built on a foundation of mutual respect, and<br />
self-discipline. We are proud to celebrate the<br />
success of all our students, from the field of<br />
academia to business, cultural and sporting<br />
life, recognising and nurturing their individual<br />
gifts and passions.<br />

What Our Parents Say About St Paul’s<br />
“A wonderful school that makes each boy feel noticed<br />
and included - every parent’s dream! You can<br />
immediately see from the way the boys across all the<br />
years interact between both themselves and the amazing<br />
staff, that St Paul’s is more than achieving their goal of<br />
producing kind, respectful, hard-working young adults.<br />
We couldn’t have asked for a better school for our son.”<br />
Julie<br />
Year 7 mother<br />
“St Pauls has provided my son with the care and attention<br />
he needed in his transition to high school exceeding all my<br />
expectations. Coming from a small school to a high school<br />
setting and not knowing any other student, St Paul’s care<br />
and nurturing for my son was a relief; he has settled in more<br />
quickly than I could have imagined. There is a strong sense<br />
of community within the school, led by teachers and staff<br />
that have truly made our transition to high school a breeze.”<br />

Since the late 20th century, a shift in<br />
understanding has occurred about how<br />
we teach students. New approaches to<br />
learning emphasise the importance of<br />
deep understanding in order to facilitate a<br />
lifelong love of learning in students and the<br />
flexible thinking capacities needed to meet<br />
the demands of an ever-changing world.<br />
Students need learning environments where<br />
active, deep and authentic thinking occurs<br />
over time.<br />
Glenaeon has long recognised the need<br />
for a balanced and enriched approach to<br />
learning, responsive to the developmental<br />
phases of childhood and adolescence and<br />
the nurturing of the child’s imagination,<br />

About Meriden<br />
For 125 years, Meriden has been providing<br />
girls an enriching learning environment that<br />
empowers them to achieve their potential.<br />
Educating students from Pre-Kindergarten<br />
to Year 12, Meriden is one of <strong>Sydney</strong>’s topperforming<br />
independent girls’ schools. We offer<br />
a rigorous curriculum, a dynamic pastoral care<br />
program and a wide range of sport, music and<br />
cocurricular opportunities.<br />
Meriden girls are encouraged to find their<br />
voice, become independent thinkers, take<br />
responsibility for their learning and make a<br />
positive difference to their community. The size<br />
of our school allows us to offer a wide subject<br />
choice and countless opportunities beyond the<br />
classroom to ensure all our students are able to<br />
explore their talents and areas of interest.<br />
A Christian foundation enriches life at<br />
Meriden, with every member of the School<br />
community encouraged to live out our values<br />
of compassion, integrity, courage and respect.<br />
When girls graduate from Meriden at the end<br />
of Year 12, they take with them the skills and<br />
attributes to thrive in an ever-changing world.<br />
Meriden’s diverse and vibrant working<br />
environment attracts highly-qualified<br />
educational professionals who are leaders<br />
in their areas of expertise. Our talented and<br />
dedicated staff members keep Meriden at the<br />
forefront of girls’ education.<br />
Location<br />
Meriden’s central location, in the heart of<br />
Strathfield, makes travelling to the School from<br />
all areas of <strong>Sydney</strong> and surrounding regions<br />
convenient and direct. Our students come<br />
from local suburbs and from further afield and<br />
Meriden has its own fleet of private buses to<br />
complement the many public transport routes<br />
to the School.<br />
Meriden’s three campuses are located adjacent<br />
to one another. Each campus is designed<br />
according to the developmental needs of its<br />
students to maximise learning. Their proximity<br />
fosters a unique sense of community spirit and<br />
school pride across all age groups.<br />
Beyond the classroom<br />
During their time at Meriden, students are<br />
encouraged to immerse themselves in a wide<br />
range of experiences to develop a portfolio of<br />
achievement in areas including public speaking,<br />
debating, the Australian Army Cadets and social<br />
justice initiatives. Our cocurricular program is<br />
broad and every girl has the opportunity to try<br />
new things and find her niche.<br />
Meriden’s thriving Music Department aims to<br />
foster a love of music in every student. The<br />
School’s many choirs and instrumental groups<br />
cater to every music style and level of ability.<br />
Our musicians have a myriad of performance<br />
opportunities throughout the year to showcase<br />
their latest repertoire. Girls with exceptional<br />
musical talent may be invited to join the<br />
Amadeus Program, which provides specialised<br />
support that nurtures each student’s musical<br />
development.<br />
Meriden’s highly-regarded sporting program<br />
offers a variety of team and individual<br />
sports and encourages every girl to care for<br />
her physical wellbeing. The School has a<br />

our elite athletes, supporting them to fulfil their<br />
academic and sporting potential.<br />
Encouraging students to give back to the<br />
community and care for one another is an<br />

of making meaningful contributions to the<br />
community through their participation in<br />
fundraising and community service activities.<br />

MLC School is an independent, non-selective<br />
Uniting Church school for girls from Pre-<br />
Kindergarten to Year 12 in the Inner West<br />
of <strong>Sydney</strong>. From Pre-Kindergarten through<br />
to their time as Senior School students,<br />
MLC School girls dare to be more. In 2020,<br />
MLC School was the highest-ranked IB School<br />
in Australia.<br />
Led by a highly professional staff under the<br />
guidance of Principal Lisa Moloney, girls<br />
are challenged and encouraged to question<br />
traditional perceptions and roles of women<br />
and are instilled with the skills and confidence<br />
to take their place in an ever-changing<br />
society. MLC School prepares girls for a life<br />
of learning by motivating them to pursue<br />
excellence, demonstrate integrity, celebrate<br />
diversity, embrace world citizenship and live<br />
with humility. A wide selection of subject<br />
choices, as well as an extensive co-curricular<br />
program aims to empower girls to be selfreliant<br />
and play an active role in their futures.<br />
Senior Centre<br />
The award-winning Senior Centre, opened<br />
in 2019, takes classroom practice to a new<br />
level and is reflective of modern workplaces.<br />
The aim is to equip girls with the skills<br />
to be successful in a collaborative, team<br />
environment and to be comfortable in<br />
open-planned, flexible spaces designed for<br />
impromptu group work sessions.<br />
Immersive Learning<br />
Year 7 to Year 10 are pivotal years at<br />
MLC School where girls experience Immersive<br />
Learning journeys that broaden each year.<br />
The experiences, that may take place locally,<br />
regionally, or abroad, aim to broaden horizons,<br />
encourage resilience and foster a growth<br />
mindset to underpin success in their senior<br />
years of schooling. Each immersive learning<br />
experience is unique in its design, but they<br />
all have some common threads that link the<br />
experiences together. Academically, each girl<br />
takes responsibility for her own path in the<br />
final years, and this is a crucial stage in her<br />
journey towards becoming an independent,<br />
fearless and empowered young woman.<br />
HSC and IB in the Senior School<br />
Girls can choose between the Higher<br />
School Certificate (HSC) or the International<br />
Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, with<br />
nearly 40 per cent of students choosing to<br />
study the IB. In 2021, the School was named<br />
No 1 IB School in Australia and a Top 50<br />
Global IB School. Over 67 MLC School girls<br />
have achieved the IB Diploma score of 45/45<br />
since the programme was introduced in<br />
2002, and all girls consistently score well.<br />
Visit the campus, meet the girls and<br />
professional teaching staff, and experience<br />
the benefits of joining the MLC School<br />
community.<br />
MLC School offers a range of scholarships,<br />
including the Principal’s Scholarship,<br />

Why St Scholastica’s College for Your Daughter?<br />
St Scholastica’s College is a Catholic,<br />
independent school in the Good Samaritan<br />
tradition, for girls in Years 7-12. Our day and<br />
boarding school – affectionately known as<br />
‘Schols’ – has been educating young women<br />
for 140 years, instilling values which have<br />
their foundations in the Catholic faith and the<br />
inspiration of the Parable of the Good Samaritan<br />
in the Gospel (Luke 10: 25-37).<br />
We proudly describe our College as a ‘school<br />
like no other’ because of the rare balance<br />
between academic achievement, creativity<br />
and excellence in the Arts and sports, in an<br />
environment that gives emphasis to personal<br />
growth, nurturing pastoral care, inclusion,<br />
diversity and respect. Schols has a rich history<br />
of educating international, metropolitan, rural,<br />
regional and remote students and reducing the<br />
educational gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait<br />
Islander girls.<br />
Our educational offering – through innovation<br />
and evidence-based continual development –<br />
challenges young women to become citizens<br />
who will make a positive difference to the<br />
world. A Schols education is holistic and<br />
strongly grounded in academic and personal<br />
growth, developing young women to become<br />
wise, just, compassionate, balanced, and<br />
well equipped for an ever-changing world.<br />
The College actively promotes the essential<br />
values of Hospitality, Compassion and Justice,<br />
Stewardship, Harmony and Wisdom.<br />
Opportunities for local community outreach<br />
and immersion in the works of the Sisters of<br />
the Good Samaritan domestically and abroad<br />
add great depth to the experiences at Schols.<br />
A broad range of social justice initiatives<br />
underpins our faith in action and builds a strong<br />
sense of other.<br />
St Scholastica’s College is a wonderful place<br />
for boarders to live, learn and be taught. Within<br />
a beautiful and peaceful landscape a rich and<br />
diverse community of parents, students and<br />
staff all play a vital role in living the Benedictine<br />
values of the College. It does not replace home<br />
but it is a great place to make lifelong friends.<br />
As a Catholic School, the study of Religious<br />
Education is compulsory in all years. The<br />
foundations of the College exist within the<br />
Parable of the Good Samaritan and the strength<br />
of the Benedictine tradition.<br />
• At St Scholastica’s College, we strive to provide<br />
the very best learning opportunities<br />
• Our aim is to develop young women with a moral<br />
compass, well qualified and equipped to make<br />
their way in the world. We do this by instilling<br />
a love of learning, an inquiring mind and an<br />
entrepreneurial spirit. Students also benefit from<br />
exposure to a diverse school community featuring<br />
international, Indigenous and boarding students<br />
from a wide variety of backgrounds<br />
• Artmaking, students explore and make 2D, 3D<br />
and/or 4D artworks in forms which may include<br />
drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, digital<br />
imaging, time-based forms or sculpture<br />
• Visual Arts at Schols also offers a course in<br />
Photography and Digital Media<br />
• Whether engaged in drawing, painting, ceramics<br />
or any number of other visual art forms on offer,<br />
students are enabled to communicate ideas<br />
visually, to understand how imagery impacts the<br />
world and, practically, to develop their own body<br />
of unique work<br />
• Music at Schols encompasses choirs, instrumental<br />
ensembles, bands and chamber orchestras<br />
• Schols participates in the Catholic Girls’<br />
Secondary <strong>Schools</strong> Sports Association (CGSSSA)<br />
whose mission is to promote a sporting<br />
environment that fosters enthusiasm, friendly<br />
competition, skill development, personal<br />
excellence and a lifelong interest in sport<br />

Centrally located in <strong>Sydney</strong>’s thriving<br />
inner-west, Trinity Grammar School<br />
enrols boys from a wide variety of ethnic<br />
and religious backgrounds and many<br />
different suburbs across <strong>Sydney</strong>.<br />
With a rich history of guiding and<br />
educating young men, Trinity has been<br />
building its reputation for excellence since<br />
1913, providing students with a thoroughly<br />
Christian education in mind, body, and<br />
spirit. Trinity recognises that these three<br />
elements need to be working in tandem<br />
to support students as they grow to be<br />
good men of character who will care<br />
about others, our world, and themselves.<br />
A learning community, Trinity knows that<br />
the growth and development of the mind<br />
is a crucial concern. Through the formal<br />
curriculum and the classroom, students<br />
are encouraged to ask questions,<br />
discover real-world applications, and<br />
become lifelong learners. The breadth of<br />
choice within Trinity’s curriculum allows<br />
students to explore their interests –<br />
whatever they may be – and experience<br />
challenging courses that allow them to<br />
achieve academic excellence through<br />
hard work and great teaching.<br />
Trinity is also a community of movement<br />
– whether that’s on the sports fields,<br />
on stage dramatically and musically,<br />
across chess boards, through water,<br />
in choirs, Cadets or debates. As they<br />
move, students develop discipline,<br />
resilience, healthy habits, and teamwork,<br />
complementing their academic learning.<br />
Underpinning all learning and<br />
development at Trinity is a Christian faith.<br />
Standing on an Anglican foundation,<br />
what sets the School’s heart to beat<br />
is a humble response to God. Trinity<br />
is committed to ensuring each boy is<br />
individually known, cared for, and guided<br />
to grow. Informed by a Christian ethos,<br />
Trinity partners with families to help raise<br />
young men who embody trustworthiness,<br />
decency and respect.<br />
From Prep to Year 12, Trinity challenges<br />
and supports students as they grow,<br />
encouraging them to be enquiring,<br />
creative, caring global citizens.<br />

Hills Grammar is committed to “locating the<br />
genius in every child,” and has embedded<br />
entrepreneurial education across the whole<br />
school from Pre-K to Year 12.<br />
“An innovative school is future focused,<br />
collaborative and always looking for ways to<br />
improve the teaching and learning experience<br />
of its students, so they are equipped to face<br />
the world with confidence, courage, and<br />
agency,” said Karen Yager, the School’s Principal.<br />
“Hills Grammar was founded by people who<br />
personified entrepreneurialism. They had the<br />
vision, imagination, and skills to courageously<br />
create a new school.”<br />
Mrs Yager says this entrepreneurial spirit,<br />
combined with a solid academic foundation,<br />
“is essential for continued individual success<br />
and prosperity in a competitive and democratic<br />
society.<br />
This focus on entrepreneurialism has been<br />
successful because it is embraced and planned<br />
collaboratively from early childhood through to<br />
Year 12 and is aligned with our strategic plans,”<br />
she adds.<br />
Year 5 students are involved in two<br />
entrepreneurial projects: Market Day and the<br />
S.E.A.T. Project. Each year, the multi-purpose<br />
hall is transformed into a busy marketplace for<br />
the annual Year 9 Commerce Market Day. All of<br />
these projects require students to collaborate<br />
in teams, to be creative and innovative, and to<br />
adopt an entrepreneurial, ethical approach.<br />
Mrs Yager says it has been inspiring to see<br />
the increased confidence and agency of the<br />
students who are now contributing to major<br />
school projects. “The elected Early Childhood<br />
Children’s Council presents major resolutions<br />
on changes they would like to see.<br />
Year 5–12 students have designed the school<br />
mobile phone policy and our approach to<br />
microcredentialing. More students have<br />
developed start-up businesses,” she says.<br />
“There is a shared belief that the students,<br />
parents, and staff can work together to make a<br />
difference.”<br />
“The School is looking to the future with the<br />
development of a new stage 3 enrichment<br />
program based on entrepreneurial mindsets”,<br />
adds Mrs Yager.<br />
“We are seeking community, industry, and<br />
university partnerships, supporting student<br />
start-ups, and providing places where<br />
innovative ideas and blue-sky thinking can<br />
thrive.”

St Benedict in 1966 and celebrates fifty-seven<br />
years of educating young women.<br />
Located in Pennant Hills, the College’s central<br />
location is convenient to bus and train lines<br />

The College belongs to the community of ten<br />

Framework addresses students’ faith and<br />
spirituality needs, their wellbeing priorities, and<br />
their learning needs for the future. The Mount<br />
St Benedict College Learning Framework Tree<br />
is symbolic of our learner; she is at the heart of<br />
the tree, its trunk. Just like the tree, our learner<br />
grows and changes in the years she is a student<br />
at the College.<br />
The Framework is based on our belief that<br />
Learning at the College is inspired and informed<br />
by our Benedictine, Good Samaritan heritage.<br />
Our students are encouraged to contribute to<br />
our Catholic community with the gifts given to<br />
them and learn how to use these gifts to make<br />
a difference in the world.<br />
Learning experiences at Mount St Benedict<br />
College are developed in response to the<br />
diverse needs of our students, leading to a<br />
wide range of opportunities that meet the<br />
needs of individual students.<br />
We encourage our girls to seek and cultivate<br />
the best within themselves and strike a fulfilling,<br />
manageable balance in their experiences of<br />
love, work and play. In our holistic vision of<br />
education, students are able to build their<br />

Georges River Grammar is an independent,<br />
co-educational school for students from<br />
Kindergarten to Year 12, located in South<br />
West <strong>Sydney</strong>. Affectionately known as GRG,<br />
the School is a dynamic and supportive<br />
environment that offers students varied<br />
opportunities for a holistic and engaging<br />
education which enables every GRG student<br />
to thrive, grow and prosper.<br />
GRG is committed to providing students with<br />
a safe, encouraging, and nurturing learning<br />
environment, whereby each student is<br />
known and supported throughout their own<br />
unique learning journey and provided with<br />
opportunities to experience success and<br />
achievement. We are a community where the<br />
values of sacrifice, community, compassion,<br />
and service take pride of place.<br />
Our highly professional and committed staff<br />
challenge each student to extend themselves<br />
in their academic, social, physical, and spiritual<br />
endeavours. Empowered with the knowledge,<br />
skills and capabilities required in our everchanging<br />
world, our students are developed<br />
into compassionate, resilient, engaged and<br />
accomplished lifelong learners.<br />
GRG recognises that the physical learning<br />
environment also has a strong influence on<br />
student learning. GRG is a well-resourced<br />
school, with state-of-the-art facilities, that<br />
allows students to come to school each day<br />
ready to learn and be proud of their school.<br />
Learning @ GRG<br />
The construction of an enriching, supportive<br />
and challenging learning environment<br />
promotes a culture of academic excellence<br />
at GRG. Students are encouraged to think<br />
independently, take responsibility for their<br />
learning, and develop academic resilience.<br />
Differentiation is the key to ensuring that each<br />
individual student’s strengths and weaknesses<br />
are considered in the creation of responsive,<br />
innovative and engaging programs that<br />
allows every student the opportunity to reach<br />
their potential.<br />
Finding individual pathways of learning for<br />
each student through the creation of a rich,<br />
diverse and engaging curriculum allows GRG<br />
students to discover their own talents and<br />
pursue their passions.<br />
Co-Curricular & Sporting Programs @ GRG<br />
GRG also offers an extensive co-curricular<br />
program that provides students with many<br />
opportunities to reach their personal best<br />
outside the classroom. The list of options for<br />
the students to choose from grows each year:<br />
Duke of Edinburgh, Study Hub, Debating,<br />
Public Speaking, various clubs and after-school<br />
activities, as well as an extensive performing<br />
arts and peripatetic music program, are just a<br />
few of the co-curricular activities on offer.<br />
The GRG Sports Program plays an integral<br />
role in the life of students at GRG. The School<br />
fosters a sporting environment which caters<br />
for the diverse school community through the<br />
provision of a variety of sporting activities for<br />
all students who wish to participate in sport<br />
and physical activity, regardless of ability.<br />
Student Wellbeing @ GRG<br />
Wellbeing underpins every aspect of a<br />
student’s schooling; from their ability to learn,<br />
their capacity to build positive relationships<br />
and ultimately their educational outcomes. We<br />
believe that working in partnership with parents<br />
and families is essential to student wellbeing,<br />
and developing effective partnerships built<br />
on trust, respect, and shared responsibility,<br />
means that our students flourish.<br />
The key components of positive psychology<br />
are embedded throughout GRG, as students<br />
learn the importance of developing a growth<br />
mindset, serving others, and building meaning<br />
and purpose in their life. Our teaching staff<br />
have also been trained in the Berry Street<br />
Education Model, an evidence-based K-12<br />
framework which enables our teachers to<br />
increase the engagement of all students by<br />
improving their ability to self-regulate, build<br />
effective relationships, develop empathy,<br />
and the stamina and grit required to<br />
ultimately achieve.<br />

The regional city of Bathurst hosts two expansive<br />
campuses of Scots All Saints College, across<br />
vast acres, enabling students from preparatory<br />
school to year 12 to experience learning in a<br />
rural environment.<br />
Living and learning in a rural environment can<br />
only be seen as a positive experience, with<br />
a range of agriculture, equestrian, debating,<br />
music and sporting pursuits integrated within<br />
the curriculum.<br />
Quality education in a regional school of choice<br />
with specialist facilities, caring, experienced<br />
teachers, and diverse opportunities for children<br />
to flourish, led to the Class of 2021 achieving<br />
an outstanding 15.5 per cent Band 6 result in<br />
the Higher School Certificate. The College also<br />
celebrated 37 per cent of students achieving<br />
ATARs in the top 20 per cent of the State.<br />
Student achievements have been helped with<br />
investment into a state-of-the-art Innovation<br />
Centre that was recently built on the junior<br />
campus providing integrated and virtual learning<br />
activities. There are plans for a STEM centre to<br />
be built on the senior campus next year.<br />
“We understand the impact an education<br />
in STEM can have on students entering the<br />
workforce,” says Scots All Saints head of<br />
college, Richard Ford.<br />
A large number of sports fields, outdoor allweather<br />
and inside courts and a pool ensure a<br />
range of competitive and recreational sports are<br />
available for students. There is a comprehensive<br />
library as well as a range of recreational reading<br />
spaces on the junior campus.<br />
Scots All Saints is the only co-educational<br />
boarding school in the regional city of Bathurst,<br />
and with over 100 acres of land makes it one<br />
of the largest campuses in Australia. The acres<br />
includes a working farm for cattle and sheep as<br />
well as an equestrian centre.<br />
Three well-appointed residential boarding<br />
houses means full-time, weekly and shortterm<br />
boarding accommodation is available to<br />
students from years 7 to 12. Located on campus,<br />
the accommodation enables students to walk to<br />
class and participate in after-school tutorial and<br />
homework programs, the math and chess clubs,<br />
as well as sport and community activities.<br />
A key feature for boarding is that accommodation<br />
is available for parents who want to travel to<br />
Bathurst to attend a sporting fixture, a drama<br />
performance or other events at the College.<br />
At the heart of the College is a sense of<br />
belonging. The mission of Scots All Saints<br />
College is to develop students into men and<br />
women with a firm foundation for life built on the<br />
Gospel of Christ.<br />
Helping children to develop skills of empathy<br />
and compassion, and to be informed about the<br />
world, includes participation in the community.<br />
The College’s Chaplain works with Hope Church,<br />
building and distributing hampers and food to<br />
local services that help homeless people. Scots<br />
All Saints students are also involved in this<br />
ministry work.<br />
A unique feature of the College is its Pipes and<br />
Drums band, which is regularly asked to perform<br />
at local events, including ANZAC Day services<br />
and to residents of local retirement villages.<br />
Students learning theatre studies through the<br />
Performing Arts Academy represent the school<br />
at the Bathurst Eisteddfod.<br />
Boarding students are able to bring their horses<br />
to school and participate in weekly lessons with<br />
qualified instructors, training in show jumping<br />
and flat work. Students also have the opportunity<br />
to participate in cross country clinics as well as<br />
polocrosse training.<br />
Cattle team training involves preparing and<br />
exhibiting the College’s own cattle and involves<br />
students from year nine. Cattle are shown by<br />
students at the local Bathurst and Blayney<br />
shows and the <strong>Sydney</strong> Royal Easter Show.<br />

Redeemer Baptist School is a Pre-Kindergarten<br />
to Year 12 Christian school situated in a<br />
magnificent heritage site at North Parramatta<br />
with easy access to public transport. The<br />
School is committed to a Christian worldview<br />
in education and renowned for its academic<br />
standards. A comprehensive range of subjects<br />
and extra-curricular activities is offered for all<br />
ages, including vocational education options<br />
in the Senior School.<br />
Redeemer seeks to create a learning<br />
environment which is thoughtful, free, sharing<br />
and respectful rather than competitive, tense,<br />
self-serving and fearful. The School is a<br />
ministry of Redeemer Baptist Church. Staff are<br />
members of the Ministry Order of the Church.<br />
The sacrificial life of this religious community<br />
forms a base for a teaching and learning<br />
environment where people may discover<br />
friendship, pray for each other, and help the<br />
weakest. Individual learning is encouraged<br />
privateschoolsguide.com/redeemer-baptist-school-north-parramatta-nsw<br />
without usurping the responsibility of care for<br />
each other.<br />
School Camps provide a range of adventures<br />
as well as opportunity to reflect and<br />
build community.<br />
Our vision for Redeemer students is that they<br />
will contribute to individuals and society in<br />
good and strong ways. We hope that their<br />
lives will be formed by the Christian virtues—<br />
faith, hope and love—which by God’s grace<br />
they will have seen in operation among those<br />
who belong to Jesus at Redeemer.<br />
The championship record of Redeemer<br />
students in sport demonstrates skill, strength<br />
and team spirit. Redeemer students have won<br />
SWISSA soccer, netball, Oztag, swimming,<br />
athletics and cross country zone carnivals. At<br />
state level Combined Independent <strong>Schools</strong><br />
(CIS) swimming and athletics carnivals,<br />
Redeemer Primary and Secondary students<br />
have won gold, silver and bronze medals.<br />

As an independent Orthodox co-educational<br />
day school, All Saints Grammar students<br />
enjoy opportunities not usually found in<br />
Australian schools.<br />
Located in Belmore in <strong>Sydney</strong>’s Inner South<br />
West, All Saints Grammar offers a worldclass<br />
education with strong foundations in<br />
Hellenic culture at its PreKinder, Primary and<br />
Secondary campuses. The School’s values<br />
are grounded in the Christian values of the<br />
Greek Orthodox faith, welcoming students<br />
from many different faiths and backgrounds.<br />
Our pillars – Faith, Excellence and Respect<br />
– guide teaching and learning and are<br />
embedded in the daily life of our school.<br />
At All Saints Grammar, we prepare each<br />
child for a global future – nurturing and<br />
encouraging them to flourish and grow with<br />
our Wellbeing For Learning approach, and<br />
serve the world through our unique, holistic<br />
and future-focused program. The School is<br />
committed to helping families preserve and<br />
pass on their heritage through a program,<br />
which is firmly grounded in Hellenic culture<br />
and Orthodox Christian faith.<br />
The School’s vision places significance on<br />
the holistic development of the student, and<br />
the importance of student engagement in the<br />
educational experience through the provision<br />
of quality learning experiences.<br />
For every child to reach their full learning<br />
potential and achieve their goals, the School<br />
offers academic enrichment to students<br />
requiring support, extension or acceleration.<br />
Our Learning Services staff oversee the<br />
transition of students from Primary to<br />
Secondary, recognising and supporting their<br />
needs through close collaborations with<br />
parents and teachers. Student progress is<br />
monitored closely, with consistent classroom<br />
support, one-on-one programs and small<br />
group interventions offered. Our Gifted and<br />
Talented staff understand the importance of<br />
nurturing the gifts and abilities of extension<br />
students to create self-confident learners<br />
who remain engaged, are resilient and have<br />
a strong mindset of self-efficacy. Extension<br />
lessons across a range of subject areas are<br />
offered to small groups, encouraging inquirybased<br />
learning and critical thinking.<br />
• Our PreKinder provides an environment that is<br />
safe, nurturing and exciting, where children can<br />
make sense of the world, their place and the<br />
infinite possibilities<br />
• Our Primary Campus (K-6) is a dynamic and<br />
stimulating place, where we guide our students to<br />
grow and develop into confident, lifelong learners<br />
• Our Secondary Campus (7-12) prepares students<br />
for a global future, providing the foundation for a<br />
rich and rewarding life beyond the school gate<br />
• All Saints Grammar students enjoy a friendly<br />
learning community, in an environment enriched by<br />
outstanding care, and where they are challenged<br />
to be themselves at their best. At ASG, every<br />
student is nurtured and encouraged to flourish as<br />
an individual through a range of programs that help<br />
students strive for excellence and support their<br />
holistic development<br />
• Opportunities in the Arts, Music, Sport and other<br />
Co-curricular activities abound, not only enhancing<br />
learning opportunities, but helping students find<br />
their own unique talents, lead a healthy, balanced<br />
lifestyle and expand their horizons<br />

The pillars of wellbeing and learning,<br />
underpinned by a firm Christian foundation<br />
and a culture of excellence, are trademarks of<br />
Danebank’s community of learners.<br />
Danebank girls and young women are at the<br />
heart of everything that we do; we’ve created<br />
our unique learning environment with their<br />
needs in mind. We hear, nurture, care for and<br />
celebrate every girl.<br />
Relationships, founded on trust and support,<br />
are so important here, not just for our girls, but<br />
for our whole community. We actively partner<br />
with families and encourage your engagement<br />
in your daughter’s learning.<br />
Not just learning, but learning how to learn<br />
Our holistic approach to learning and the<br />
depth of our enriched learning and wellbeing<br />
programs are reflected in remarkable academic<br />
results. We develop the broader base of skills,<br />
dispositions, habits of mind, values, attitudes<br />
and character that our girls need to flourish.<br />
Our girls are not just learning – they are<br />
learning how to learn.<br />
To ensure an engaging, forward-looking and<br />
fully-rounded experience, we focus on five key<br />
ways of learning:<br />
• Reflective Learning: Students being willing<br />
and able to become more strategic about<br />
learning. Good learners are aware of how<br />
their learning is going and are able to make<br />
decisions accordingly.<br />
• Wellbeing Learning: Supporting our learning<br />
by knowing ourselves and having proven<br />
strategies to build on our strengths and<br />
improve our sense of wellbeing.<br />
• Relational Learning: Being ready, willing<br />
and able to learn alone and with others. The<br />
ability to listen, take turns and understand the<br />
viewpoints of others, even when you do not<br />
immediately agree.<br />
• Resourceful Learning: Resourceful learning<br />
means having a strong repertoire of attitudes<br />
and strategies for confronting the world when<br />
it becomes strange or out of control.<br />
• Faith and Character Learning: The foundation<br />
of our Danebank community.<br />
Wellbeing<br />
A Danebank girl is inspired to be herself and to<br />
explore who she is and who she wants to be.<br />
Whether you dream of becoming a scientist, artist,<br />
chef, lawyer, scholar, musician or an engineer,<br />
Danebank nurtures you to get there.<br />
As the first Anglican all girls school in NSW to<br />
become a Visible Wellbeing Partner School,<br />
Danebank supports girls, staff and our community<br />
to develop the critical pathways to thrive.<br />
We have an embedded, evidence-based,<br />
multidimensional approach to wellbeing and<br />
student care. This ensures that our students<br />
flourish academically and are empowered to<br />
achieve healthy wellbeing and future life success,<br />
while making positive life choices.<br />
Faith and Values<br />
A member of the Anglican <strong>Schools</strong> Corporation<br />
(TASC), Danebank provides an affordable education,<br />
based on the Anglican reformed faith. As a Christian<br />
school, we frame our planning and actions for each<br />
girl in the contemporary world within the context of<br />
the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is reflected in our<br />
school values:<br />
• Compassionate service<br />
• Creative collaboration<br />
• Respectful relationships<br />
• Courageous optimism<br />
• Personal excellence<br />
• Loving kindness<br />
• Taking responsibility<br />

St George Christian School is a dynamic learning<br />
community encouraging the development of<br />
students’ personal character and gifts, whilst<br />
experiencing joy in learning and excellence in<br />
teaching in a supportive K-12 co-educational<br />
Christian environment.<br />
The School is based across two campuses in<br />
the St George region of <strong>Sydney</strong>. Our size (dual<br />
stream from K-6 and triple stream from 7-12)<br />
allows us to know each student and enables<br />
the provision of a breadth of subject choices<br />
and co-curricular activities.<br />
Reflecting critical stages in the life of a child,<br />
our school structure includes Infants (K-2),<br />
Junior School (3-5), Middle School (6-8) and<br />
Senior School (9-12) as distinct communities<br />
of learning, relationship and care. Each stage<br />
features an engaging and intellectually<br />
stimulating curriculum, designed to suit the<br />
interests, abilities and specific learning needs<br />
of each student.<br />
These stages are linked by transition programs<br />
designed to maintain and promote a secure,<br />
stable learning environment. SGCS provides<br />
specialist music, drama and sport (K-12),<br />
integrated use and training in technology,<br />
www.sgcs.com.au<br />
focused leadership development, and extracurricular<br />
activities in science, technology and<br />
creative and performing arts.<br />
SGCS aims to equip your child for life, by<br />
combining educational excellence with a<br />
whole person approach to intellectual, social,<br />
physical, emotional and spiritual development.<br />
Our School has a strong tradition of service to<br />
others, and seeks to foster within our students<br />
a desire to look beyond themselves, engage in<br />
local and global issues and participate in the<br />
wider community.<br />
As a distinctively Christian School, we believe<br />
that a full and meaningful life comes through<br />
faith in Jesus Christ and from following<br />
His teachings.<br />
Considerate, respectful and encouraging<br />
relationships are central to our values and<br />
practice. We value each child as a unique<br />
creation, and actively strive to foster individual<br />
potential, self-discipline, independence, maturity<br />
and good character, with a firm focus on<br />
preparing children for life beyond their<br />
schooling years.<br />
Learning Communities<br />
• Infants Sans Souci Campus is a dedicated space for our<br />
youngest students to begin their schooling in a personal,<br />
caring and supportive environment<br />
• Junior School focuses on the exciting, inquisitive stage of<br />
education where students progress towards independent,<br />
enquiring learning. Through skills and enquiry-based<br />
exploration, Junior School builds on the educational<br />
foundations laid in the early years. Dual streaming of<br />
classes enables everyone to be known, cared for and<br />
personally challenged<br />
• Middle School offers a unique educational experience,<br />
specifically designed to meet the developmental needs<br />
of students in Years 6, 7 and 8. At SGCS we recognise the<br />
crucial stage of early adolescence and have developed<br />
a Middle School focussed on providing intentional<br />
education for this age group<br />
• Senior School supports and extends students’ growth<br />
and development in independence, maturity, personal<br />
responsibility and leadership as they reach the<br />
culmination of their schooling and prepare for meaningful<br />
lives in the wider community. We aim to develop<br />
each student’s sense of place in the world and their<br />
responsibility towards others<br />
Learning Spaces<br />
• Over the past five years, SGCS has reimagined learning<br />
with a complete rebuild of our Infants Sans Souci Campus,<br />
redesign of our Junior School, and the construction of<br />
new campus buildings and facilities for Middle School and<br />
Senior School at our Hurstville Campus<br />

A TIGS education recognises that, to<br />
take students from strength to strength,<br />
a school needs to be consistent, creative<br />
and customised.<br />
Building on learning day-by-day, within a<br />
caring environment, founded on Christian<br />
beliefs and values. Each child develops a love<br />
of learning to inspire them both throughout<br />
their School journey and beyond into the<br />
modern, global landscape.<br />
Quality education is more than an<br />
examination score at The Illawarra Grammar<br />
School. Academic results are only part of<br />
what makes an education one of excellence.<br />
At TIGS, every child is understood as an<br />
individual, traveling a personalised learning<br />
journey, empowering them to thrive in an<br />
everchanging world.<br />
Your child’s education<br />
The consistently strong academic record at<br />
TIGS speaks for itself and behind those results<br />
is a team of high-quality educators delivering<br />
a learning programme personalised to<br />
your child. Through a flexible framework,<br />
delivered according to the individual needs<br />
of each student, your child learns to become<br />
an independent thinker with the skills for<br />
lifelong learning. Enrichment opportunities<br />
allow advanced students the opportunity to<br />
stretch themselves, while students who need<br />
extra support are nurtured to discover the<br />
tools that will enable them to succeed.<br />
Your child’s experiences<br />
With one of the largest co-curricular offerings<br />
in the Illawarra region, your child can explore<br />
their passions and interests at TIGS. Camps<br />
and outdoor education opportunities extend<br />
students beyond their comfort zones,<br />
building their resilience and confidence to<br />
take on any challenge. Visual and performing<br />
arts choices help creativity and technique<br />
blossom onstage, backstage and in the<br />
studio. Fitness, team building, developing<br />
perseverance and grit are just some of the<br />
benefits of sport co-curricular offerings, with<br />
the School’s Talented Athlete Programme<br />
taking this to the next level. In addition,<br />
other opportunities range from Science<br />
and Mathematics to debating and cultural<br />
experiences, ensuring there is something for<br />
every child, wherever their interests lie.<br />
Your child’s wellbeing<br />
The School believes building a caring and<br />
engaging community, founded on Christian<br />
beliefs, helps every student become strong<br />
emotionally, mentally, and socially. At TIGS,<br />

SYDNEY SOUTH<br />
www.inaburra.nsw.edu.au<br />
Inaburra School has a strong reputation as a<br />
school of first choice in the Sutherland Shire and<br />
surrounding areas. At the core of our learning<br />
community, we are a school where every<br />
individual is known and loved.<br />
Inaburra is, first and foremost, a learning<br />
community in which staff and students learn with,<br />
and from, one another. However, we recognise<br />
that students need more than just knowledge<br />
and understanding to flourish today and into the<br />
future. We have a strong commitment to student<br />
welfare and are intentional about teaching<br />
students to strengthen their sense of wellbeing.<br />
“I am proud to send my child to a school which<br />
I believe exists for the primary purpose of<br />
assisting in supporting & developing my child<br />
to be the best version of themselves that they<br />
can be.” (Parent)<br />
Inaburra has developed an excellent reputation<br />
for its Creative and Performing Arts, world-class<br />
teaching practice, excellence in its facilities, the<br />
use of ICT for student learning and innovative<br />
programs such as the Global Education Program.<br />
We offer diverse learning spaces, designed to<br />
both facilitate collaboration and give students<br />
opportunities to be self-directed learners. Our<br />
goal is to embrace the diversity in learning styles<br />
rather than adopt a ‘one size fits all’ approach.<br />
“It’s a credible institution that leads by<br />
example, thrives to be the best it can be with<br />
dedication and enthusiasm in teaching and<br />
understanding a child’s perspective and way<br />
of learning.” (Parent)<br />

• Effective learning occurs when your students’<br />
learning experiences are engaging, that is,<br />
when your students are doing rather than<br />
just listening<br />
• In inquiry-based learning, students take on<br />
more responsibility for identifying precisely<br />
what they need to learn and finding<br />
resources which will allow them to fill their<br />
knowledge gaps<br />
• Inquiry-based learning can help students<br />
to develop their research skills as selfdirected<br />
learners<br />
• Students learn to identify and find answers<br />
to the questions that they need to ask and<br />
the resources that they need to draw upon in<br />
solving problems (often a real world problem)<br />
At St Brigid’s Catholic College we believe<br />
in the capabilities of young people. We<br />
see our role, in partnership with parents,<br />
as nurturing our students to explore who<br />
they are and what contribution they can<br />
make to the world. We believe that each<br />
child is made unique in the image of our<br />
loving God and therefore deserves to be<br />
treated with respect and dignity as part of<br />
God’s creation.<br />
During these precious years of<br />
development, it is important that we provide<br />
a safe and supportive environment in which<br />
they are encouraged to discover their<br />
learning passion. We want our students to<br />
discover the wonder of finding out about<br />
our world and to investigate relevant and<br />
significant issues through exposure to the<br />
rich learning tasks that teachers design<br />
using the curriculum as a platform.<br />

Boarding at Barker College<br />
is a unique experience for<br />
Senior students only and with a<br />
maximum student population of<br />
60, it is a tight-knit community.<br />
The Barker experience attracts boarders<br />

The coeducational environment and<br />
small boarder numbers allow for the<br />
development of close peer relationships,<br />
whilst also providing accessible academic<br />
and personal mentoring opportunities.<br />
During the Senior years, the boarding<br />
environment has proven to be of benefit<br />
to many students as they focus on their<br />
academic program whilst maintaining a<br />
busy but balanced life. The necessity to<br />
develop independent-living skills and<br />

At PLC <strong>Sydney</strong>, boarders<br />
are like a family away from<br />
home. Girls learn to live<br />
independently, while always<br />
being supported and nurtured<br />
by staff and fellow boarders. The Boarding<br />
House is situated at the heart of the<br />
College, giving the girls easy access to<br />
classes and co-curricular activities. It’s a<br />
great place to grow up.<br />
In the evening, girls will be gathering in<br />
common areas or studying in the library,<br />
and you’ll hear languages from around<br />
the world. The diversity of the girls living<br />
together helps build an understanding<br />
and acceptance of people beyond school.<br />
When girls graduate from PLC <strong>Sydney</strong>,<br />
they leave with lifelong friendships with<br />
young women from across the globe.<br />
Boarding at Pymble -<br />
‘Live It, Love It, Learn<br />
It, Lead It’<br />
The Pymble Boarding community is<br />
supported by the ‘Live It, Love It, Learn It,<br />
Lead It’ programs. ‘Live It’ aims to teach girls<br />
life skills – cooking basic meals, laundry and<br />
changing a tyre. ‘Love It’ provides a range<br />
of opportunities for Boarders to create<br />
connections with housemates and within<br />
the local community. ‘Learn It’ is an evening<br />
study program, designed to enhance<br />
achievement of academic potential, life<br />
balance and personal fulfilment. Finally,<br />
‘Lead It’ provides a variety of opportunities<br />
for Boarders to demonstrate and develop<br />
leadership capacity. A holistic approach<br />
means girls feel loved, supported, engaged<br />
and ready to achieve their best.<br />
Ravenswood boarding opened<br />
in 1935 and our boarders are the<br />
heart of the school. The stylish,<br />

underpinning the culture of sisterhood for<br />
which the RRC is known. Boarders have<br />

Boarding is a gateway<br />
to Shore and the world<br />
beyond, offering boys<br />
from diverse backgrounds the occasion to<br />
learn and live at one of the nation’s finest<br />
schools.<br />
Boarders have been integral to the life<br />
of Shore since the school was founded<br />
in 1889, with the Christian foundation of<br />
the school underpinning a safe and caring<br />
environment for all boys.<br />
Shore is a non-selective comprehensive<br />
school and students are challenged<br />
to use their talents to the best of their<br />
abilities. Boarders are offered a structured<br />
academic routine and a diverse range<br />
of co-curricular activities while enjoying<br />
modern and spacious accommodation.<br />
A boarding school since 1856,<br />
St Catherine’s blends country<br />
friendliness with city living to<br />
provide students with a strongly<br />
supportive home away from home.<br />
With only 66 places in the boarding house,<br />
every girl is known, nurtured and cared for by<br />
dedicated live-in staff. The boarding house is<br />
newly decorated in a fresh contemporary style<br />
and each girl has privacy for study and rest with<br />
single rooms available.<br />
The Eastern Suburbs campus is well located,<br />
just 5 minutes away from Bronte Beach and<br />
Centennial Parklands and less than 20 minutes<br />
from the CBD and <strong>Sydney</strong> Airport.<br />
Boarding students are involved with many afterschool<br />
activities and enjoy organised weekend<br />
outings in and around <strong>Sydney</strong>.<br />
Boarding is central to school life and girls form<br />
deep bonds, becoming an extended group of<br />
like-minded ‘sisters’ who find support, guidance<br />
and friendship in each other. Their collective and<br />
positive attitude weaves into the wider school,<br />
making for a happy, connected community.
