SCHOOL OPEN DAYS
Fostering a love of learning
at Selwyn House School
Selwyn House School’s nurturing
environment, small class sizes and futurefocused
approach to learning sets our
students up for the best possible start to
their schooling life.
We provide a supportive, all-girl
learning environment for Years 1 - 8, that
encourages students to take risks without
fear of failure and develops their love of
learning. Selwyn House students become
confident, compassionate, articulate and
determined young women who have the
values, skills, and attributes needed to
not only achieve their goals but to make a
difference in their communities.
From Year 1 we teach the girls to express
themselves as competent communicators
and to develop self-reliance. Our carefully
crafted programme focuses on developing
‘the total girl’, who has the resilience,
foundational knowledge, creativity and
compassion to succeed and lead in the
future.
At Selwyn House we believe leaders
are made, not born, and that is why we
put a particular focus on leadership in
the Senior School. In comparison to
other intermediate or composite high
schools, our Year 7 and 8 students have
the distinct advantage of being the senior
students in their school. Every girl has
the opportunity to serve in leadership
roles and the high number of Selwyn
House students that then go on to assume
leadership roles in their secondary
schools, and later in their careers, speaks
for itself.
Teachers at Selwyn House ensure girls
are inspired and committed to learning.
Our small class sizes allow our teachers to
provide the personal attention that helps
students to identify their own strengths
and talents and ensures we can tap into
each girl’s unique potential so that they
leave this school with the self-confidence
and skill-set they need to thrive at
secondary school and beyond.
