Our vibrant learning community is located 

in the centre of an emerging innovation 

hub, in Australia’s most creative, dynamic, 

digital precinct, a short walk to the University 

of Technology Sydney and the University 

of Sydney. 

IGS is a co-educational and secular 

independent school with a bilingual focus 

from Early Learning to Year 12. With the core 

values of Diversity, Personal Achievement, 

Connectedness, Authenticity and Vibrancy, we 

aim to equip our students to be world ready. 

Our unique languages program broadens 

students’ cultural understanding and 

communication skills. 

Each day from Early Learning onwards, students 

experience partial bilingual immersion, 

becoming familiar with their additional 

languages, which can include French, German, 

Italian, Japanese, Mandarin and Spanish 

taught by native speakers. Families from 

different countries and cultural backgrounds 

immediately feel at home in the IGS community, 

where difference is celebrated. 

At IGS, we harness the natural curiosity and 

energy of our youngest learners. We draw 

upon a broad mix of theories and philosophies 

in early childhood education to ensure 

children enjoy new and exciting opportunities 

for developmental play and in-depth learning. 

Our program is underpinned by the Early Years 

Learning Framework, the national curriculum 

of early education and care services. 

IGS recognises the early learning years as 

crucial. Through our stimulating program, 

children have the opportunity to drive their 

learning, ask questions, investigate and 

challenge ideas and actively engage in new 

experiences. Through play children internalise 

concepts and learn a diverse range of skills 

including the ability to share, cooperate and 

communicate with one another. 

Our Primary program provides opportunity, 

challenge and support to learners from 

Kindergarten to Year 6. Meeting individual 

learning needs has a positive effect on self 

esteem and development. Our vibrant range 

of learning activities provides rigour, promotes 

acceptance of difference, and encourages 

research in students’ areas of interest. Students 

develop an understanding of themselves 

and their worlds through various forms of 

expression including Languages, Music, Visual 

Arts, and Drama. 

Our program for Years 7 and 8 aims to create 

a smooth transition into High School and 

maximise student engagement. Courses 

for Years 9 and 10 provide opportunities 

for enriched learning, and are grounded in 

critical thinking and the ongoing development 

of literacy and numeracy skills, while the 

expanded Senior program features stimulating 

choices across all faculty areas and many 

leadership opportunities. HSC results are 

consistently impressive. 

• Two first, one second, three third and one fourth in the

school that is part of the international network 

of Sacred Heart schools. Located in Rose 

Bay in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, the School 

caters for boys (ELC-6), girls’ day (ELC-12) and 

boarding (Years 7-12). 

Kincoppal-Rose Bay prepares its students for 

lives of courage and confidence, educating 

them to discover their purpose; cultivate their 

talents and passions; and commit themselves 

to service as global citizens of the world. 

ELC (3 – 5 year olds) 

The coeducational Early Learning Centre is 

inspired by the approaches used in Reggio 

Emilia and the philosophies of the Forest 

Schools in Northern Europe. Our own beliefs 

combine with these to bring about experiences 

where children are encouraged to become 

researchers in their own learning, building 

upon their curiosities and wonders and being 

challenged to make meaning about the 

mysteries of their worlds. 

Barat-Burn is the home of our co-educational 

Junior School, which provides girls and boys 

with a warm and nurturing community where 

they can begin to explore and further develop 

their interests and talents. Here we offer a coeducational 

environment covering the Board 

of Studies’ Key Learning Areas. We believe it 

is vital to nurture inquiry in the key disciplines 

of science, technology, engineering and 

mathematics, from a very early age. 

Senior School (7-12) 

The KRB Senior School will provide your 

daughter with a structured and personalised 

educational environment, supported by a strong 

and vibrant co-curricular program. From Year 7, 

we also welcome boarders from regional NSW, 

interstate and overseas, resulting in a diverse 

school community. Our devoted and highcalibre 

Senior School teaching team delivers 

a curriculum grounded in academic rigour. 

We also promote a nurturing environment to 

help your child develop into a confident, well 

balanced and spirited adult. 

We structure all programs to help our students achieve: 

• wellbeing and happiness at school and in their 

everyday lives 

• a feeling of connectedness to the school and the 

broader community 

• an appreciation of their strengths and their potential 

to acquire new strengths 

• a belief that they are capable of achieving whatever 

they set their minds to. 

Some examples of how KRB ensures a positive 

education are: 

• working with students to set personal and academic 

goals and supporting them to achieve and review 

their goals 

• actively teaching positive psychology through our 

Pastoral Care Program, focusing on qualities such as 

resilience, gratitude, positive relationships, positive 

emotions and the identification of personal strengths 

• teaching students the concept of the ‘growth 

mindset’ (Dweck, 2007), where students are 

encouraged to view their skills and knowledge as 

changeable through effort 

• monitoring the academic, social, emotional and 

spiritual progress and development of each student 

through our Student Tracking Program. 

We believe in continuous improvement informed by 

research, technology, societal changes and the needs 

of every child and parent.

St Andrew’s Cathedral School is a 

coeducational, independent Anglican 

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

Reflecting our Christian foundations, we are 

a strong and hopeful learning community 

that nurtures the individual strengths of each 

student in our care. 

With a long history—we were originally founded 

as a Choral School in 1885—we are known for 

our outstanding performing arts program with 

25 music ensembles, including our renowned 

Cathedral choristers. With extensive sporting 

and co-curricular opportunities—from fencing, 

theatresports, debating, dance and drama—we 

also have an outstanding outdoor education 

program based at our property, Kirrikee, in the 

NSW Southern Highlands. 

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World 

School, our middle school students are taught 

the NSW school curriculum through the IB 

Middle Years framework and Senior College 

students can choose to study either the HSC or 

the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma. 

We are the quintessential city school, located 

in two high-rise buildings in the centre of 

Sydney’s CBD, enriching our curriculum 

with city experiences, all on our doorstep. 

Our buildings are purposefully designed, 

light filled learning spaces for Junior School, 

Middle School and a dedicated pre-tertiary 

environment for Senior College. 

Our school within a school, Gawura, is a highly 

regarded model, noted for its innovative 

approach to a First Nations-led education 

within a mainstream system and was named 

2020 Australian School of the Year. As the 

School of the Year judges observed, Gawura is 

a ‘lighthouse program in Indigenous education 

with wonderful, almost unheard-of outcomes.’ 

Our teachers are experts in their chosen fields 

who very much enjoy the relational nature of 

teaching and who engage in the character 

development of each child, both within 

and outside the classroom. They are also 

passionate about developing their practice 

and benefit from a progressive professional 

learning program. Many of our teachers 

are invited to present at state and national 

educational conferences and professional 

associations, and as an educational leader, we 

hold conferences, host international experts 

and encourage thought leadership. 

• Our Christian tradition means we have essential 

convictions about the dignity of every student—each 

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

• We always seek to care for the whole child— 

considering their intellectual, physical, social, 

emotional, and spiritual wellbeing and development. 

• Character development is fundamental to our 

pursuit of academic excellence and is at the heart of 

our teaching and pastoral care. 

• Dynamic learning communities - we promote 

best practice by encapsulating the best of explicit 

teaching, inquiry-based learning and cognitive 

science, all combined with the aim of fostering 

deep learning. 

• We are an IB world school: MYP and Diploma 

- we teach global mindedness: an openness 

to the world, so that our students learn to 

appreciate difference and recognise their deep 

interconnectedness with others 

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

global curriculum and immediate access to cultural 

and tertiary institutions, innovation, hubs, and 

business and social entrepreneurs.

Life Giving Learning 

THE BEAUTY OF HARD WORK 

While our outstanding performing arts programmes cater 

for the unique gifts and abilities of individuals, our students 

also join a community bound to excellence. They enjoy deep 

relationships with teachers who have outstanding educational 

qualifications as well as professional experience as performers. 

We believe music and the performing arts point to a beauty 

beyond oneself, and our students learn that their greatest self 

is that which is used to raise up others.

Learning at St Catherine’s 

We educate girls like yours who will shape our 

future world. 

Our teachers embrace the latest educational 

research balancing clear instruction with 

engagement. They help each girl to learn in 

the way that is right for her, giving her the 

academic rigour she needs and the tools 

she can use to flourish at school. When she 

leaves, we want her to be well educated, well 

rounded and well balanced – ready for further 

study, ready for life. 

The foundation of learning at St Catherine’s is 

what we call Academic Challenge. We offer a 

broad, differentiated curriculum with a focus 

on meeting individual student needs, plus 

other forms of enrichment, extension and the 

opportunity for acceleration. 

Our teachers really get to know the students 

to gain a deep understanding of their talents 

and interests as well as areas that may need 

some work. We will help your daughter develop 

a resilient mindset and show her how to apply 

it to her learning. 

Academic Challenge is part of a learning 

philosophy that will help your daughter to 

become accomplished. She can then approach 

her final years at school with the confidence 

she will need to enter university and the career 

to which she aspires. 

Our Academic Care program, founded on the 

principles of positive psychology, is designed to 

develop girls’ wellbeing and help them flourish. 

The philosophy is based on evidence based 

positive psychology, the VIA character 

strengthsand the school values of integrity, 

resilience, respect, relationships, and service. 

We help develop girls’ wellbeing by building: 

• Positive emotions 

• A resilient mindset 

• Academic tenacity 

• Strong relationships 

Just like your daughter, her teachers will be 

well supported, highly trained and always 

refining their skills in the classroom. They are 

taught the same positive mindset we teach the 

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

the pathway to learning is so much clearer. 

• Australia’s oldest anglican school for girls - 

Kindergarten to Year 12 

• St Catherine’s had 214 mentions on the NESA 

Distinguished Achievers list for receiving a mark of

St Vincent’s College is a non-selective, 

contemporary Catholic day and boarding 

school for girls. The current ethos and approach 

is based on a belief that an independent 

education should provide advantage not 

entitlement. 

The College avoids visible ostentation, 

balances opportunities with responsibilities 

and invites students to learn in a culture that is 

informing, transforming and empowering. 

Our motto ‘Scientia cum Religione’ (knowledge 

and religion united) calls us to take the wisdom 

and understanding that comes with education 

and combine it with the virtues and values of 

religion – love, compassion, care, justice – so 

that we may truly live a life modelled on that of 

Jesus and his concern for people. 

Essentially, as we look to a future filled with 

opportunity for women in Australia, St Vincent’s 

College is all about empowering young women 

to be independent in thought, compassionate 

in attitude and confident to act. 

Students are encouraged to discover their 

athletic ability with individual and team sports; 

release their creativity with our performing and 

creative arts; share their generous spirit with 

social justice groups; and build strength of 

character with leadership opportunities. 

Students can participate in classes such as 

dance, Performance Arts, acting, debating, 

public speaking, choral and instrumental music 

and the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. 

The College Sport Program attracts high levels 

of participation by all students. Students are 

encouraged to choose at least one team or 

individual sport each term from an extensive 

range of options including basketball, netball, 

hockey, softball, cricket, volleyball, touch, 

soccer, water polo, athletics, cross country, 

swimming, diving, gymnastics and skiing. 

All students in Years 7 to 10 enjoy annual an 

Outdoor Education Camp. Years 11 and 12 

students undertake Retreats that strengthen 

their relationships with God and friends. 

Our educational philosophy recognises the 

individuality and giftedness of each student 

and it promotes the development of her 

intellectual, spiritual, emotional, physical and 

aesthetic qualities. The modern curriculum 

combines the Ignatian philosophy with the best 

of pedagogical practices. 

Extended Day Program 

St Vincent’s College offers students from Years 7 to 

12 supervised study which includes supervised study, 

support and assistance as required. 

Extended Day is held in the Learning Resource Centre 

with a teacher as the supervisor. This initiative is to 

assist our strategic priority of Academic Excellence. 

It also offers girls an opportunity to complete their 

homework and study so they can go home to spend 

time with their family. 

Developing Personal Excellence 

Personal excellence is encouraged by offering 

each student a diverse and challenging curriculum 

delivered by professional, enthusiastic and caring 

educators. 

Scholarships 

The College Board endeavours to provide 

opportunities for families who would otherwise be 

unable to afford quality Catholic education the chance 

to be educated at St Vincent’s College. 

Scholarships offered include:

The Scots College is more than just a school 

for boys. An Early Years to Year 12 education 

that no other school can offer, this is the Scots 

Advantage. We prepare boys to succeed in a 

world that is constantly being reinvented. 

The Scots College is a distinctive Australian 

school that defends the honourable traditions, 

adventures and learning of boys. We exist to 

inspire boys to learn, lead and serve as they 

strive for excellence together. Scots has been 

raising fine young men since 1893 from Sydney, 

New South Wales and many different nations 

from around the world. 

Academic excellence is critically important, 

and our record demonstrates our success. But 

Scots aims for an even higher goal. We prepare 

boys to succeed in a world that is constantly 

being reinvented. 

Our deep understanding of how boys grow 

and learn is captured in our Brave Hearts Bold 

Minds philosophy. This means we support 

every boy, at every stage of development, to 

become a confident, well-grounded young man 

of integrity. They will become the fine young 

men of the next generation who will, in their 

turn, reinvent their world. This is why academic 

success alone does not prepare boys for the 

future. A strong sense of identity, values, and 

character is vital. 

www.scots.college 

The College has intentionally chosen a path 

where active learning works with academic 

excellence. Our local, national and international 

programs, inspire our boys to become 

principled, compassionate and engaged 

citizens of their College, their community and 

their world. 

Boarders have been a vital part of the Scots 

community for over a century. 

Boarding at Scots, available from Year 5 

onwards, offers high quality education in a 

safe and nurturing environment, where your 

son is supported to reach his full potential. As 

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

Boarding Houses where he will be provided 

with strong pastoral care and individual 

attention while experiencing the joys of being 

a part of his House ‘family’. 

Currently the College has two major 

construction projects underway: 

• Replacing the former Stevenson Library to 

the John Cunningham Student Centre which 

will become the hub of student learning 

• The Scots College Auditorium is being 

refurbished to accentuate its purpose as the 

centre of celebration and honour in the life 

of a Scots family 

Values 

The Quest for Excellence through adventure, curiosity, 

creativity and growth. 

Our Faith and Tradition which inspire truth, honour, 

loyalty and commitment. 

Leadership through Teams in a spirit of service, 

compassion, fun and community 

Vision 

In keeping with the challenge of our Christian 

foundation, Scots boys will be fine young men of 

integrity and principle who support each other in their 

quest for excellence. 

Mission Statement 

In seeking to serve God faithfully, The Scots College 

exists to inspire boys to learn, lead and serve as they 

strive for excellence together 

Overview 

The Scots College is a distinctive Australian school 

that defends the honourable traditions, adventures 

and learning of boys. We exist to inspire boys to learn,

Watch us change 

the world – or join us! 

As a leading school for girls, we believe it is critical to prepare the next generation of young 

women for the new economy that will define their working lives – the digital economy. 

A growing body of research shows that women remain a significant minority in Science, 

Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) careers and in the scientific fields 

driving the digital revolution. Pymble takes an intentional approach to addressing the 

significant challenges of underrepresentation of girls and women in STEM-related fields, 

particularly in the technology sector, by offering innovative and engaging programs and 

opportunities for all girls from Kindergarten through to Year 12. 

NEW DATA SCIENCE CURRICULUM 

IN 2022 

Pymble is the first school 

in Australia to partner with 

the University of California, 

Los Angeles (UCLA) to offer 

an Introduction to Data 

Science course as an elective 

for students in Years 9, 10 and 

11 who wish to learn about data 

in all its forms and applications. 

Our outstanding Pymble 

educators, who were trained 

by UCLA in preparation for the 

implementation of the curriculum 

in 2022, have also partnered with 

industry professionals working in 

the field to give students access to 

real-world learning, mentors and 

connections. 

LEADING THE WAY IN ROBOTICS 

Robotics is emerging in schools 

and academies all over the world. 

At Pymble, we currently have 

more than 230 active student 

roboticists in K-12 who range 

from girls with aspirations of 

changing the world through 

engineering to those who enjoy 

competing with their friends as 

a break from other co-curricular 

commitments. Pymble Robotics 

teams compete in regional, 

national and international robotics 

events, often alongside university 

teams, and in 2021, a Pymble girl 

received the Dean’s List Award – 

the highest achievement a student 

can attain in Robotics in the world. 

GROWTH IN SOFTWARE DESIGN AND 

DEVELOPMENT 

Our Software Design and 

Development (SDD) course 

inspires students to harness their 

creativity to design and develop 

software and programs that can 

impact their world. 

As a result of our engaging 

syllabus, the number of Year 11 

students enrolled in SDD doubled 

in one year. Of our SDD class of 

2021, more than 40 per cent 

of students achieved a Band 6, 

and 70 per cent of the cohort 

enrolled into tertiary degrees in 

Computer Science. 

FOCUS ON STEM IN THE JUNIOR 

SCHOOL (K-6) 

STEM learning for students in 

Kindergarten to Year 6 at Pymble 

includes a comprehensive STEM 

curriculum for each stage, and 

an impressive 102 students 

participating in the co-curricular 

Robotics program. Curriculum 

initiatives range from sequencing 

and algorithms, to coding and 

design-and-make projects 

embedded within Inquiry Units. 

The Junior School Science 

Week in Term 3, which includes 

a K-6 STEM Creativity Festival, 

celebrates student voice and 

leadership, and encourages 

the involvement of parents as 

exemplars and learning partners 

in this space. 

Digital Intelligence is just 

one aspect of a holistic 

Pymble education designed 

to nurture our students as 

compassionate, influential 

young women with the hearts 

and minds to change the 

world. We warmly invite you 

to learn more about how our 

Watch Us Change the World 

Strategic Direction builds 

Academic, Emotional, Social 

and Digital Intelligence.

“Pymble girls understand the 

importance of technology to 

activate human potential. 

Students are encouraged to be 

part of, and fuel, the technological 

revolution; to build, change and 

co-create the future. 

Through developing digital fluency, 

students cultivate healthy habits 

and are equipped to use 

technologies in beneficial 

and sustaining ways.”

Pymble Ladies’ College girls bring passion 

and purpose into everything they do. They 

are change-makers in the classroom, in their 

community, and in the world. Our girls don’t just 

follow their dreams. They lead the way. 

‘Watch Us Change the World’ is our statement 

of intent. It exists to instil courage in our young 

women to create the future they want to see for 

themselves. Watch Us Change the World is not 

our hope; it’s our declaration. 

Since 1916, a Pymble education has equipped 

girls with the tools to achieve those dreams, 

while shaping them as influential and 

compassionate women. Girls at Pymble Ladies’ 

College are nurtured to be inquisitive, brave 

and determined, so they can make a difference 

that will positively change the world. 

Our campus sits on 50 acres of beautiful parklike 

grounds on Sydney’s upper North Shore. 

The College is a non-selective, independent 

school for girls from Kindergarten to Year 12, 

with Boarding available from Year 7. 

We don’t just dream – we do. 

The opportunities – both curricular and cocurricular 

– ensure Pymble girls have every 

chance to achieve the ambitions they set 

for themselves. 

Learning at Pymble inspires students to explore 

what matters to them and see themselves in 

futures they may not have imagined. Pymble 

girls approach new challenges with a sense of 

optimism and excitement. 

The College has been marked with excellence 

throughout its 106-year history, gaining a 

reputation for offering extraordinary and 

well-rounded academic and co-curricular 

programs, with outstanding teachers and 

world-class facilities. 

What makes Pymble so special? 

That’s easy. It’s our girls. 

The College’s new Strategic Direction 2021- 

2030 is an exciting new chapter in the life 

of the school and for our girls. It aims to 

develop the whole student, in all areas of 

her life, by focusing on four key intelligences 

– Academic, Social, Emotional and Digital 

– which are underpinned by our Mind Body 

Spirit Framework. 

The Pymble Ladies’ College Mind Body 

Spirit Framework is a multi-dimensional, 

holistic approach to wellness and growth, 

encompassing Academic, Social, Emotional 

and Digital Intelligence. At Pymble, we guide 

our girls with these four pillars of intelligence 

to help them grow and flourish into vital young 

change-makers. 

Our girls embrace opportunities to learn in 

collaborative environments where different 

perspectives are encouraged and valued. They 

are active, responsible and engaged global 

citizens who harness the power of technology 

to effect positive change. 

The Pymble community works as a collective 

to support and nurture our girls, helping 

equip them with the hearts and minds to 

change the world.

2022 will mark 100 years of Christian education excellence at Arden 

Anglican School, a school with two campuses in Beecroft (Junior 

Campus) and Epping (Secondary Campus). 

From its beginnings in 1922 as a Presbyterian Ladies College, Arden has 

been a school ahead of its time. Originally owned by the Presbyterian 

Church, in 1929 the school was sold to Emily Gurney who re-named it 

Arden as its location in the leafy suburb of Beecroft reminded her of 

‘The Forest of Arden’ in England. 

The Centenary year will offer Arden and the wider community the 

opportunity to celebrate this impressive and significant milestone 

as well as reconnect with past staff, parents and alumni. The 

celebrations will start with a thanksgiving service at the beginning 

of the year at the International Convention Centre in Sydney. This 

event will be even more meaningful than originally planned as 

Arden will now will also commission their new Principal, Mr Justin 

Beckett, on this occasion. Mr Beckett commenced his headship 

at Arden in January with the enthusiastic support of the School 

Community. 

The whole school - 1964 

Emily Gurney believed that education was far more than reading, 

writing and arithmetic. She instilled the importance of service 

learning and excursions that taught students about the wider 

community and real life. Arden’s Head of Junior School, David 

Watkins, explains “Emily encouraged a sense of community which 

is often described as The Spirit of Arden. The gates of Arden are 

open to parents to participate in school life and it brings so much 

benefit to students’ learning – it makes us who we are.” 

From its humble beginnings 100 

years ago, Arden has grown to a 

roll of over 980 students and 120 

teaching and non-teaching staff 

in 2022. Its extensive, state of the 

art facilities are as impressive as 

the education it provides. Whilst 

much has changed, what endures 

is a culture where students are 

well known, well cared for and 

well taught; a place where every 

day matters, with people and 

community at its heart. 

Arden will be holding several 

Alumni and Centenary events 

throughout 2022. For more 

information on upcoming events 

and tours, visit their website at

Year 12 

There are two distinct differences at Barker 

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

and intentionally allows people to thrive in a 

holistic sense – emotionally, physiologically, 

physically, academically. 

The second thing is that we have a firm 

coeducational identity and a firm expression of 

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

and thrive irrespective of interests, skillset or 

capacity and be committed to doing that in a 

way that brings young men and young women 

together for the proper expression of human 

interaction and identity. 

Student health and wellbeing 

Barker is committed to creating and fostering 

a caring and positive Christian environment for 

every student, in order for our young people to 

be known, supported and equipped with the 

social and emotional tools needed to thrive. 

Students are immersed in holistic learning 

experiences where wellbeing is carefully 

considered and integrated into academic 

learning, outdoor education, service learning, 

Connect groups, the House system, cocurricular 

programs, sport, student academic 

care and support, and through Christian faith 

development. 

Beyond the Classroom 

The experience inside the classroom is only 

one part of a Barker education. 

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

range of sporting, cultural and recreational cocurricular 

activities. Throughout Years 7 to 12, 

our students have even greater opportunities 

to pursue their passions. As well as Drama, 

Music, Cadets, Outdoor Education and over 20 

different sports, Barker students can challenge 

themselves in the areas of robotics, debating 

and public speaking. 

Building on 130 years of heritage, the School 

has grown in two areas. Firstly, there is our 

Indigenous education outreach program, 

which goes beyond boarding and into 

establishing Aboriginal schools in partnership 

with Aboriginal community leaders. The 

second is in our emphatic commitment to a full 

coeducational experience for our students. 

No two days at Barker are ever the same. 

Students are constantly challenging themselves 

– and being challenged – as they grow, expand 

their minds and learn to think big, practically 

and independently. 

• A Barker education is shaped by our focus on 

preparing for a life beyond the School gates 

• Every Barker student is different. What they all 

have in common is a confidence to embrace the 

challenge of the future and a capacity to make their 

own positive impact on the world 

• We are excited about the future of education at 

Barker and the invaluable opportunities coeducation 

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

Christian education that inspires global hope 

• From Pre-Kindergarten through to the Senior 

years, students are exposed to a range of diverse 

opportunities and experiences 

• Barker is a place where every student belongs, is 

valued and loves to be 

• The contemporary curriculum provides a balanced 

program drawing on foundational skills, guided 

inquiry, collaborative learning, and the appropriate 

use of resources, particularly technology 

• An understanding of social justice and a recognition 

of the importance of positive relationships 

• The development of independent and critical 

thinking as a means to becoming a life long learner

Year 12 

As a non-selective Catholic independent 

school, Brigidine College proudly caters for 

students of all abilities and talents. Framed by 

our motto, Fortiter et Suaviter, our students are 

challenged to be “Women of Strength, Women 

of Gentleness” where we encourage all our 

students to explore opportunities, relish in 

challenges, and think beyond themselves. 

Our College has an optimum size of 900 

students from Year 7 to Year 12, which is small 

enough to know all our girls yet large enough 

to offer a broad range of curriculum and 

cocurricular choices to ultimately discover their 

best selves. In the academic arena, we offer 

35 courses for the HSC, ensuring that all girls 

find their passion for learning to maximise their 

academic success. 

Proudly a girls school, we see the uniqueness 

in every individual and shape their education in 

ways that fill them with a sense of purpose and 

success about their achievements. We make it 

a priority to know their differences, academic 

capabilities, interests and challenges. We 

explore opportunities to structure a more 

personalised, relevant curriculum that meets 

their needs in the present yet is flexible enough 

to adapt to a changing world. 

Our students are challenged to take risks with 

their learning and extend themselves to acquire 

and assimilate knowledge, understanding and 

skills. They are encouraged to use resources 

effectively to enhance their learning, think 

critically about knowledge with its inherent reallife 

problems and be creative and reflective in 

their quest for solutions. Learning at Brigidine 

College is an experience of imagination and 

realising the many possibilities that enable 

girls to flourish and grow into confident, 

accomplished, future-ready women. 

We invite you to learn more about Brigidine 

by joining us on a College tour where you will 

be invited to talk with our Principal, staff and 

students. 

• ACADEMIC DIVERSITY 

Brigidine College strives to deliver a well-rounded 

education that extends beyond the traditional 

academic expectations and experiences. We offer 

a diverse and challenging approach to education 

that celebrates a love of learning that is immersive, 

integrated and underpinned by real-world applied 

example. 

• COCURRICULAR OPPORTUNITIES 

The Cocurricular program allows for young women 

to thrive beyond the classroom. We balance a 

diverse program with engaging activities including 

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

special interest clubs, Duke of Edinburgh and 

immersion tours. 

• PERSONAL GROWTH 

Our small class sizes allow us to see, know and 

connect with every student. Our focus is on 

unlocking potential and inspiring our students to 

find their own unique strengths. At Brigidine, every 

student is exposed to opportunities to allow them to 

thrive. 

• WELLBEING 

The College seeks to provide a culture of belonging 

where learning and wellbeing go hand-in-hand 

in school life. Our Wellbeing and pastoral care 

programs work in conjunction with the teaching and 

learning of students and the development of their 

religious and spiritual character.

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

school in Belrose on the Northern Beaches 

of Sydney. 

As a stand-alone primary school our focus is 

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

fundamental in setting the academic foundations, 

as well as a love of learning, resilience and the 

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

high school and beyond. 

The unique aspects of our curriculum from 

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

languages, Shakespeare, and enriched singing 

and art programs, extend the students holistically 

while at the same time developing attention. This 

is all managed within a small class environment 

where the same teacher supports the students 

over a number of years. 

A classical, traditional approach 

At John Colet School we are proud of taking a 

classical or traditional approach to learning. We 

believe that it is important that children have a 

solid foundation in literacy and numeracy skills. 

This involves instruction in such areas as Grammar, 

Handwriting, Timetables and recitation. 

At this crucial age this approach helps build 

children’s cognitive load so that they may apply 

themselves clearly and creatively to complex and 

diverse areas. 

Great material 

Language is a fundamental element in education. 

How the child learns to speak and use language 

will largely be determined by the examples 

provided. For this reason, at John Colet School, 

we take great care in the material provided, such 

as the texts we use in our literature program, 

Shakespeare within drama and the learning of 

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

front of them. 

If you provide outstanding material, this is the 

quality of work a child will produce. 

Years 3 – 6 is a special and developmentally 

important time when students really blossom 

at John Colet School. Children take greater 

risks with their learning, build resilience, 

and are challenged in diverse areas. Within 

a supportive environment, students gain 

confidence in their own strengths and develop 

their ability to work independently and with 

others, ready for high school. 

John Colet School is happy to take students 

into Years 2 – 5 during the academic year, 

where places are available, and following a trial 

day. If you are considering transferring your 

child from their current primary school, please 

talk to our Registrar.

In the spirit of our foundress Mary Ward who 

believed that “women in time to come will do 

much,” Loreto Normanhurst encourages young 

women to take their place in the world as 

seekers of truth and instruments of justice. 

The award-winning Loreto Normanhurst Student 

Growth Model emphasises collaboration, 

creative and critical thinking, digital capabilities, 

adaptability and independence. By offering 

a breadth of learning experiences inside 

and outside the classroom, it develops our 

students into agile and resilient thinkers who 

are prepared to navigate an ever-changing 

global landscape. 

The cornerstone of the LNSGM is the FACE 

Curriculum, which places equal importance 

on the holistic development of each student 

across Faith, Academic, Community and 

Extra-curricular. 

The LNSGM includes our bespoke subject, 

Integrated Learning. This subject has a skills 

focus with an emphasis on cross-curricular 

priorities. It is delivered in flexible open learning 

spaces facilitated by a team of dynamic 

teachers from different discipline areas. 

The model is also supported by a strong 

Pastoral Care program featuring a House 

system and advisors and tutors who care 

for the students and get to know them as a 

whole person. 

Through our extensive extra-curricular 

programs, students have further opportunities 

to support their learning and growth through 

leadership, social justice, sport, music, oratory, 

speech and drama. 

The success of the LNSGM is evident in our 

consistently high HSC Results and the formation 

of our graduates as ‘Compassionate Warriors’: 

independent, articulate and compassionate 

women of grit, independent thinking, voice, 

creativity, conscious faith and service. 

Our fully flexible Boarding model welcomes 

students from ex-pat and overseas families and 

the Sydney basin, with 80% of our boarders 

coming from rural NSW. Since our foundation 

in 1897, Loreto Boarding has remained integral 

to our educational environment, enriching 

the diversity of our thriving community by 

connecting students from all over Australia and 

the world.

Year 12 

Northern Beaches Christian School is a vibrant 

Christian, independent, co-ed school in Terrey 

Hills (Sydney), for students in Kindergarten 

to Year 12. Within our world class facilities, 

we expect a positive learning culture, a 

safe, welcoming environment, wise use of 

technology and positive communication. 

We are committed to improving student 

learning in all aspects of school life, within a 

nurturing Christian community that supports 

and encourages learning, growth, wellbeing, 

connection, belonging and community. 

We expect much from our students because 

they are capable of much. Our aim is to develop 

a culture that brings out the best in our students 

– in their learning, in their character, in the 

opportunities they take, the friendships they 

develop, and in understanding the message of 

the God who loves them. 

This rich foundation is reflected in our Vision 

(Love Learning), Mission (Excellence in 

Education, Christianity in Action) and Values 

(Gratitude, Respect, Courage and Compassion), 

enabling us to foster a lifelong love of learning 

and hope for the future. 

In a rapidly changing world, NBCS students can 

look ahead with confidence and hope. Although 

we cannot predict the future, we believe we 

can prepare our young people for it. Our job, 

in partnership with families, is to together build 

an enriching school community that inspires a 

love of learning and the growth of our students. 

Love Learning permeates throughout the 

culture and strategic operations of our school 

and can be understood in six key areas of focus: 

Academic - We pursue and celebrate academic 

excellence. At the heart of NBCS is the pursuit 

of academic excellence. We recognise that this 

will look different for every student, but our 

hope is that each individual learning journey will 

be shaped by curiosity and a love of discovery. 

We encourage our students to go beyond the 

dissemination and digestion of facts, to make 

connections with what they are learning, to 

who they are and the impact they want to make 

on the world around them. 

Christian - We live and share the beauty of 

faith in Jesus. The second part of our Mission 

statement, Christianity in Action, is no less 

important than our commitment to academic 

excellence. It provides a deep framework for 

our community, shaping our values and culture. 

NBCS is built upon trust in a God who graciously 

loves, rescues and redeems. This provides the 

basis for being a community that loves and 

supports one another, fostering a sense of 

hope while recognising the diversity of faith 

and worldview in our broader community. 

Wellbeing - We nurture and grow our 

community. Being a high achieving, low stress 

school means a steadfast commitment to 

wellbeing. We provide our students and their 

families with rich resources and tools that help 

build resilience and a positive mindset, setting 

them up for success. Developing the whole 

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

love for learning in all domains. 

Co-curricular - We extend opportunities and 

enrich lives. As each student’s learning journey 

will be unique, so too will the opportunities that 

they seek. Whether it is sport, music, creative 

arts, technology or outdoor adventure, we seek 

to give our students the chance to discover 

and grow their God-given talents. These 

opportunities can often be a gateway to new 

learning, enabling our students to go ahead 

with confidence. 

Staff - We shape and engage talented Christian 

staff. Exceptional teachers make exceptional 

schools. Their love for learning is the spark 

that fires a love of learning in our students. 

Developing our teachers professionally is an 

ongoing priority – as our teachers thrive, so too 

do our students. 

Infrastructure - We inspire and invigorate 

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

the important balance between form and 

function. It has been shaped by the belief 

that learning spaces must meet the needs of 

students and teachers, while inspiring new 

possibilities for learning. Our facilities exist to 

help bring our Mission and Vision to life.

As the first Visible Wellbeing School in NSW, 

Ravenswood understands that wellbeing and 

academic success are inextricably linked. We 

came ninth out of all NSW independent schools 

in NSW in the 2021 HSC and 20th overall. Fifteen 

percent of the Class of 2021 achieved an ATAR 

above 99 and the median ATAR was 93.05. 

2021 graduates gained entry to prestigious 

institutions such as Harvard University, the 

University of Oxford, New York State University 

and Imperial College London. 

Principal Mrs Anne Johnstone is internationally 

recognised for her pioneering work in the field 

of Positive Education and youth wellbeing. 

She is the 2022 recipient of the Phyllis Evans 

Medal from the Teachers’ Guild of NSW, a 

prize that acknowledges a ‘distinguished 

educator of great standing’. She is also the 

Chair of the Australian Positive Education 

Schools Association (PESA), Vice-Chair of 

the International Positive Education Network 

(IPEN) and holds a master’s degree in Positive 

Education from the University of Pennsylvania. 

Ravenswood is a proudly non-selective school. 

The recognition of the uniqueness of each 

student as a learner underpins our Learning 

Framework from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. 

We are the only school on Sydney’s Upper 

North Shore to offer students a choice between 

the HSC and the International Baccalaureate 

Diploma (IBDP). 

The new pre-kindergarten, Ravenswood Prep, 

offers an innovative curriculum combining 

the International Baccalaureate Primary 

Years Programme (IBPYP), Reggio Emilia and 

Ravenswood’s Positive Education approach. 

Throughout the Junior School, the IBPYP 

provides a rigorous framework that values 

inquiry, collaboration and student agency. 

Ravenswood students have access to more 

than 100 diverse co-curricular choices, from 

Acro Dance to AFL and Theatresports to Tennis. 

We were the first girls’ school on Sydney’s 

North Shore to offer Cadets in partnership with 

the Knox Grammar School Army Cadet Unit. 

Through the Ravenswood Institute, our faculty 

receive cutting-edge training, including in the 

emerging transdisciplinary field of Mind-Brain 

Education (MBE) science. Our newly opened 

Senior Learning Centre is a beautiful 21st 

Century learning space that was shortlisted in 

the NSW Architectural Awards. 

• Ravenswood strives to foster young women of value who 

will live with meaning and purpose and enrich the world. 

A key focus of our Positive Education programs is the 

building of character strengths – universally recognised 

traits that help us to flourish and perform at our best. 

• Ravenswood is recognised as one of the leading girls’ 

schools in Positive Education, globally. We are the first 

school in NSW to implement a Visible Wellbeing approach 

to Positive Education under the guidance of Professor Lea 

Waters, Professor and Founding Director of the Positive 

Psychology Centre, the University of Melbourne and 

former President of the International Positive Psychology 

Association. 

• Boarding is offered from Years 7-12 in a cosy, boutiquestyle 

environment with an emphasis on the comforts of 

home. Positive Education principles are emphasised and 

deep sisterly bonds are fostered. 

• In the Junior School, students use Positive Education 

principles in a variety of ways, including by creating a 

conceptual framework based on the Power of Yet, an idea 

championed by psychologist Professor Carol Dweck. 

• The newly opened Ravenswood Prep is a rare offering, 

with a curriculum that combines the International 

Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP), the 

Reggio Emilia philosophy and Ravenswood’s renowned 

Positive Education approach. All lessons are designed 

to be student-centered and inquiry-based, with a strong 

focus on student agency. Everything in the classroom is 

constructed from natural materials and has been carefully 

curated, down to the order and flow of colours, sizes and 

shapes. Alongside the core curriculum, the girls receive 

regular lessons from specialist teachers in subjects such 

as Sport, Visual Arts, Speech, Religious Education, Tennis, 

Music and Languages.

Saint Ignatius’ College Riverview offers a 

holistic, faith-based Jesuit education that 

focuses on developing men of courage, 

compassion and conscience. Our educational 

program is aimed at developing “men for and 

with others” – not only equipping students 

with the skills to succeed in the world, but 

also the drive and compassion to change it 

for the better. 

“Our mission is to build students of character 

and integrity with the drive and capacity to be 

agents of change, empowering them to excel 

in their chosen spheres of life and to make 

a meaningful difference in the world,” says 

Principal Dr Paul Hine. 

Grounded in the wisdom and values of 

our Jesuit tradition, Saint Ignatius’ College 

prepares students for the future with inspired 

teaching and genuine pastoral care. Our 

educational mission aims to help students 

discover their gifts and learn how to contribute 

meaningfully to the world around them 

through positive global citizenship. This is 

underpinned by a core commitment to pastoral 

care focused on cura personalis – ‘care for the 

individual’. 

“Our call is to equip young people with the 

tools to discover who they are created to 

be, and the desire to question how they can 

use their God-given abilities in service to 

their community and the wider world,” says 

Rector Fr Tom Renshaw SJ. 

Academically, Riverview is the highest 

achieving comprehensive (non-scholarship) 

boys’ school in NSW. We are proud to foster 

an environment that encourages students to 

discover and develop their unique gifts and 

talents, remaining committed to helping every 

student achieve their highest potential – be it 

in academia, the sports field or creative and 

performing arts. As a result, we have seen 

some of our students go on to become Rhodes 

Scholars, represent our nation on the sporting 

field and stand at the helm of our government 

and justice system. 

Jack, a recent graduate, says, “Coming to 

Riverview opens endless options for subjects, 

study, sports and arts, and there’s so much 

support. There are great opportunities to excel 

and you also make friends from all different 

walks of life. I definitely recommend it.” 

• Justice – A commitment to equity for individuals less 

fortunate than ourselves 

• Service – A commitment to selflessly work towards a 

better world for all 

• Discernment – Being moved by reflection from 

a knowledge of facts to enacting a faith-filled 

understanding 

• Conscience – Steadfastly holding to truth, based on 

that discernment 

• Courage – A commitment to dare to act with a faith 

that does justice 

• We encourage our students to embrace scholarship 

as a response to God’s gift of intellect, and to 

respond authentically through critical thinking, 

reflection and action. 

• We aim to provide excellence in teaching and 

learning through a challenging curriculum and an 

interdisciplinary approach. 

• We are proud to be a diverse and inclusive 

community with a supportive First Nations Program, 

a strong Special Education Inclusion Program for 

students with intellectual disabilities, and the largest 

Bursary Program of its kind in the nation.

St Luke’s Grammar School – a school seeking 

to encourage students to become intentional 

learners and use their skills and talents to 

make a difference in the lives of those in the 

communities they seek to serve. 

Since its amalgamation as a co-educational 

school in 1993, St Luke’s has gained the 

reputation for being a thriving learning 

community that equips students to make a 

difference in the world. 

St Luke’s Grammar School has a thriving 

learning culture. In recent years, the School’s 

academic outcomes have consistently 

improved and in 2021, the outstanding results 

of the Class of 2021 led to the School being 

ranked 41st in the state. The efforts of the 

students and staff also resulted in St Luke’s 

being ranked 2nd in the State out of all “Coeducational 

Independent Schools” and top 

school on the Northern Beaches out of all 

“Non-Selective Schools”. These results are a 

testament to the successful embedding of the 

St Luke’s teaching and learning framework. 

The learning culture at St Luke’s is 

underpinned by the LEARNING@STLUKE’S 

framework, which provides a common 

learning language across the School, as well 

as targeted strategies to equip students with 

the skills they need to understand themselves 

as learners. The LEARNING@STLUKE’S 

framework moves beyond the traditional 

approach to learning, seeking to engage the 

hearts and minds of students by combining 

the acquisition of content knowledge with the 

development of character. 

Within the framework, which draws together 

research on how students learn and what 

abilities strengthen their capacity to learn, 

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

learning. Powerful learners display capacities 

associated with Resilience, Resourcefulness, 

Reflectiveness, Reciprocity and Restoration. 

Two evidence-based concepts intrinsic to 

the LEARNING@STLUKE’S framework and 

fundamental to student success are having 

a growth mindset and developing grit. Each 

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

to understand that they have the ability to 

learn anything and the only limiting factor is 

their own mindset. 

• The Cottage (Pre-School) Program at St Luke’s 

Grammar School offers a range of stimulating 

experiences that integrate structured learning with 

play-based activities in order to inspire wonder and 

connection. The program thoroughly prepares and 

equips students for the transition to ‘big school’ the 

following year. 

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

engaging learning environment. It holds a wellestablished 

reputation for enabling students to 

develop mastery of new knowledge and gain a deep 

understanding of content. 

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

environment where students are encouraged 

to grow as thoughtful and resilient learners, 

supportive of each other and empathetic about 

the world around them. They approach challenges 

with a sense of agency, striving for excellence 

by developing mastery of learning through our 

LEARNING@STLUKE’S Framework. Our students 

are humble, and see their place in the world as one 

where they can be of service to others. They seek 

out opportunities to be people of justice and grace. 

• Over the past 15 years, an extensive building 

program has transformed St Luke’s Grammar School 

into one of the most progressive and well-appointed 

learning environments on Sydney’s Northern 

Beaches.

Mr Michael Reid

As a Catholic faith 

community, we work 

to build relationships that are life-giving, based 

on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The 

Gospel values of love, compassion and justice 

and forgiveness underpin our student efforts 

to shape young men who will live lives of 

meaning and purpose. Men who will not only 

find happiness and success in life, but strive to 

bring happiness and success to others. 

What Our Parents Say About St Paul’s 

“A wonderful school that makes each boy feel noticed 

and included - every parent’s dream! You can 

immediately see from the way the boys across all the 

years interact between both themselves and the amazing 

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

producing kind, respectful, hard-working young adults. 

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

Julie 

Year 7 mother 

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

he needed in his transition to high school exceeding all my 

expectations. Coming from a small school to a high school 

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

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

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

of community within the school, led by teachers and staff 

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

Founded in 1989, the German International 

School Sydney (GISS), offers a complete 

multilingual school education from 

Preschool to Year 12 combining the 

curriculum of both the New South Wales 

syllabus and the German State Thuringen,

• In 2022 we opened three new passive house 

classrooms incorporating biophilic design 

to create an engaging and healthy learning 

environment.

for Kindy to Year 6 students daily from

their creativity and develop new skills.

A Glenaeon education is based on five 

foundational programs that interweave through 

the curriculum from Kindergarten to Year 12. 

• Academic - A broad and inspiring range of 

subjects 

• Aesthetic - Art, Music, Drama and Eurythmy 

• Artisan - Design and Technology, Wood and 

Metal Crafts, Ceramics and Textiles 

• Altruistic - A culture of respect, responsibility, 

and contribution 

• Active Wilderness - Adventure, exploration, 

challenge and discovery in the natural 

environment 

privateschoolsguide.com/glenaeon-rudolf-steiner-school-middle-cove-nsw 

Since the late 20th century, a shift in 

understanding has occurred about how 

we teach students. New approaches to 

learning emphasise the importance of 

deep understanding in order to facilitate a 

lifelong love of learning in students and the 

flexible thinking capacities needed to meet 

the demands of an ever-changing world. 

Students need learning environments where 

active, deep and authentic thinking occurs 

over time. 

Glenaeon has long recognised the need 

for a balanced and enriched approach to 

learning, responsive to the developmental 

phases of childhood and adolescence and 

the nurturing of the child’s imagination, 

creativity and active thinking. 

For over 65 years, Glenaeon Rudolf Steiner 

School has helped children and young adults 

find meaning and direction in their lives.

About Meriden 

For 125 years, Meriden has been providing 

girls an enriching learning environment that 

empowers them to achieve their potential. 

Educating students from Pre-Kindergarten 

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

independent girls’ schools. We offer 

a rigorous curriculum, a dynamic pastoral care 

program and a wide range of sport, music and 

cocurricular opportunities. 

Meriden girls are encouraged to find their 

voice, become independent thinkers, take 

responsibility for their learning and make a 

positive difference to their community. The size 

of our school allows us to offer a wide subject 

choice and countless opportunities beyond the 

classroom to ensure all our students are able to 

explore their talents and areas of interest. 

A Christian foundation enriches life at 

Meriden, with every member of the School 

community encouraged to live out our values 

of compassion, integrity, courage and respect. 

When girls graduate from Meriden at the end 

of Year 12, they take with them the skills and 

attributes to thrive in an ever-changing world. 

Meriden’s diverse and vibrant working 

environment attracts highly-qualified 

educational professionals who are leaders 

in their areas of expertise. Our talented and 

dedicated staff members keep Meriden at the 

forefront of girls’ education. 

Location 

Meriden’s central location, in the heart of 

Strathfield, makes travelling to the School from 

all areas of Sydney and surrounding regions 

convenient and direct. Our students come 

from local suburbs and from further afield and 

Meriden has its own fleet of private buses to 

complement the many public transport routes 

to the School. 

Meriden’s three campuses are located adjacent 

to one another. Each campus is designed 

according to the developmental needs of its 

students to maximise learning. Their proximity 

fosters a unique sense of community spirit and 

school pride across all age groups. 

Beyond the classroom 

During their time at Meriden, students are 

encouraged to immerse themselves in a wide 

range of experiences to develop a portfolio of 

achievement in areas including public speaking, 

debating, the Australian Army Cadets and social 

justice initiatives. Our cocurricular program is 

broad and every girl has the opportunity to try 

new things and find her niche. 

Meriden’s thriving Music Department aims to 

foster a love of music in every student. The 

School’s many choirs and instrumental groups 

cater to every music style and level of ability. 

Our musicians have a myriad of performance 

opportunities throughout the year to showcase 

their latest repertoire. Girls with exceptional 

musical talent may be invited to join the 

Amadeus Program, which provides specialised 

support that nurtures each student’s musical 

development. 

Meriden’s highly-regarded sporting program 

offers a variety of team and individual 

sports and encourages every girl to care for 

her physical wellbeing. The School has a 

remarkable record of sporting achievement, 

with Meriden girls having represented Australia 

in athletics, swimming, water polo, badminton 

and tennis. The School’s Olympus Program 

caters to the educational and sporting needs of 

our elite athletes, supporting them to fulfil their 

academic and sporting potential. 

Encouraging students to give back to the 

community and care for one another is an 

integral part of life at Meriden. Our students 

gain a deep understanding of the importance 

of making meaningful contributions to the 

community through their participation in 

fundraising and community service activities. 

Every student leaves Meriden with first-hand 

experience of what it means to be an active and 

engaged citizen.

Year 12 

MLC School is an independent, nonselective 

Uniting Church school for girls from Pre- 

Kindergarten to Year 12 in Sydney’s innerwest 

region. From Pre-Kindergarten through 

to their time as Senior School students, MLC 

School girls dare to be more. 

Led by a highly professional staff under the 

guidance of principal Ms Lisa Moloney, girls 

are challenged and encouraged to question 

traditional perceptions and roles of women 

and are instilled with the skills and confidence 

to take their place in an everchanging society. 

The MLC School girl is empowered with skills 

and capabilities that enable her to be adaptive, 

compassionate and courageous. She 

embraces new challenges and opportunities; 

and strives for excellence. She is cared for 

and well supported so that she can confidently 

focus on her own individual, personal and 

academic growth. A wide selection of subject 

choices, as well as an extensive co-curricular 

program, aims to empower girls to be selfreliant 

and play an active role in their futures. 

Learning in the Junior School 

MLC Junior School is a hub of collaborative 

learning where girls can push the boundaries 

of their education from the very first days of 

their school life. The Junior School program 

evolves as each girl develops, starting with 

playbased learning in Pre-Kindergarten and 

then moving on to a tailored approach that 

focuses on each girl’s ability and challenges 

her to play an active role in her learning. 

The Junior School staff monitor every girl’s 

educational growth and maintain an open 

communication channel with parents as part 

of a partnership to support each student. 

HSC and IB in the Senior School 

MLC School quickly recognised the value in 

offering girls a choice between the Higher 

School Certificate (HSC) or the International 

Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme for 

their final years of study and so became an IB 

World School in 1999. 

Detailed and personalised career advice 

is provided to every girl and her parents to 

support the conversations around the choice 

that will best suit her interests and learning 

style. Each student takes responsibility for 

her own path in the final years, and this is a 

crucial stage in her journey towards becoming 

an independent, fearless and empowered 

young woman. 

MLC School girls consistently achieve strong 

results in both the HSC and IB. In most years, 

around 40 per cent of girls choose to study 

the IB. 

Senior Centre 

The Senior Centre, opened in 2019, takes 

classroom practice to a new level and is 

reflective of modern workplaces. The aim is 

to equip girls with the skills to be successful 

in a collaborative team environment and to 

be comfortable in open-plan, flexible spaces 

designed for impromptu group work sessions. 

Co-curricular Program 

From the friendly competition in sport, the 

creative participation of music, dance and 

drama to the quick thinking of a vigorous 

debate, MLC School’s rich and extensive cocurricular 

program encourages girls to try 

something different, make new friends and 

find unexpected passions, strengths and 

talents in a safe, supportive environment.. 

Visit the campus, meet the girls and 

professional teaching staff and experience the 

benefits of joining the MLC School community. 

MLC School offers a range of scholarships, 

including for entry in Year 5, the Principal’s 

Scholarship, scholarships for new students, 

continuing students, all rounders, music 

students and daughters of Old Girls. Some of 

our scholarships are means tested.

Our Mission 

Santa Sabina College, a Catholic school in 

the Dominican tradition, educates students to 

achieve personal excellence, to act with justice 

and compassion, and to embrace the future 

with an optimistic global vision. The Dominican 

Pillars of Prayer, Community, Study and Service 

underpin our pursuit of truth (Veritas). 

Wellbeing programs 

Our students achieve the highest academic 

results while also engaging in an holistic 

program in music, sports and leadership. 

Empowering them to develop character and 

dispositions that will enable them to thrive in 

a complex and ever-changing world is a key 

priority and our wellbeing focus. Given the 

challenges young people have experienced 

through living through a global pandemic, 

we are more committed than ever to further 

developing their capacities for adaptability, 

resilience and optimism. 

Our age related wellbeing programs help 

the students learn about building positive, 

respectful relationships, age appropriate social 

and emotional skills and an understanding of 

ethical principles and behaviours that can be 

taken beyond the classroom. 

Casper, our wellbeing dog, is on campus 

every day, welcoming students and visiting 

classrooms. Studies suggest that dogs are able 

to act as a stress management intervention and 

they are known to boost student attendance 

and confidence levels as well as motivation to 

participate in learning activities. 

Our regional NSW campus, Tallong in the NSW 

Southern Highlands, allows all students access 

to nature, benefitting their health and personal 

development. 

Global citizens 

As an IB World School, we educate students to 

achieve personal excellence, act with justice 

and compassion, and embrace the future with an 

optimistic global vision. Teaching in the Primary 

Years is via the International Baccalaureate 

Primary Years Programme (IB PYP). Girls are 

front and centre in Gioia House, our unique 

program for Years 5 and 6, cocooned in their 

own area and program. Years 11 and 12 students 

choose either the International Baccalaureate 

Diploma Programme (IBDP) or the HSC. 

SantaConnect 

Our national award winning remote learning 

program SantaConnect developed during 

the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021 has led to 

a sophisticated and seamless hybrid teaching 

and learning model that not only supports 

students who need to continue to isolate due 

to COVID but also supports those unable 

to attend campus for whatever reason. All 

classrooms are equipped with smart boards 

and cameras supported by our Learning 

Management System allowing teachers and 

students to interact wherever they may be as 

well as with experts from around the world. 

Our alumni 

We are most proud of our graduates who, for 

128 years, have been shaking the world and 

making an impact across all fields of endeavour. 

We have a proud history of our students taking 

action and advocating for a better world. As 

one of our recent graduates has said ‘It is Santa 

Sabina that taught me to be a critical thinker. 

It instilled in me the Dominican legacy of 

courage and passion. To be independent, and 

unapologetically strong in what you believe 

in. To be empathetic, and fair. To be driven by 

curiosity.’

Why St Scholastica’s College for Your Daughter? 

St Scholastica’s College is a Catholic, 

independent school in the Good Samaritan 

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

boarding school – affectionately known as 

‘Schols’ – has been educating young women 

for 140 years, instilling values which have 

their foundations in the Catholic faith and the 

inspiration of the Parable of the Good Samaritan 

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

We proudly describe our College as a ‘school 

like no other’ because of the rare balance 

between academic achievement, creativity 

and excellence in the Arts and sports, in an 

environment that gives emphasis to personal 

growth, nurturing pastoral care, inclusion, 

diversity and respect. Schols has a rich history 

of educating international, metropolitan, rural, 

regional and remote students and reducing the 

educational gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait 

Islander girls. 

Our educational offering – through innovation 

and evidence-based continual development – 

challenges young women to become citizens 

who will make a positive difference to the 

world. A Schols education is holistic and 

strongly grounded in academic and personal 

growth, developing young women to become 

wise, just, compassionate, balanced, and 

well equipped for an ever-changing world. 

The College actively promotes the essential 

values of Hospitality, Compassion and Justice, 

Stewardship, Harmony and Wisdom. 

Opportunities for local community outreach 

and immersion in the works of the Sisters of 

the Good Samaritan domestically and abroad 

add great depth to the experiences at Schols. 

A broad range of social justice initiatives 

underpins our faith in action and builds a strong 

sense of other. 

St Scholastica’s College is a wonderful place 

for boarders to live, learn and be taught. Within 

a beautiful and peaceful landscape a rich and 

diverse community of parents, students and

The world is moving fast. The future of work, 

truth, learning, mental health, relationships, 

democracy, the planet - even humanity itself - 

are all up for grabs. This is the future our boys 

are going into. We have to stare this future in 

the eye and ask: ‘What is needed for our boys 

to thrive in this new world?’ We owe it to them 

to set them up for the 2050s, not the 1990s. 

We develop in our boys courage, integrity and 

kindness, an understanding of the importance 

of curiousity, rigour, open-mindedness, faith 

and meaning, and the capacity to engage in 

ethical and critical thinking, teamwork, and 

the ability to express themselves creatively 

and physically. 

Our vision is to empower boys to develop 

great hearts, inspired minds and strong 

wings, ready to make a positive contribution 

to society and the future.

Centrally located in Sydney’s thriving 

inner-west, Trinity Grammar School 

enrols boys from a wide variety of ethnic 

and religious backgrounds and many 

different suburbs across Sydney. 

With a rich history of guiding and 

educating young men, Trinity has been 

building its reputation for excellence since 

1913, providing students with a thoroughly 

Christian education in mind, body, and 

spirit. Trinity recognises that these three 

elements need to be working in tandem 

to support students as they grow to be 

good men of character who will care 

about others, our world, and themselves. 

A learning community, Trinity knows that 

the growth and development of the mind 

is a crucial concern. Through the formal 

curriculum and the classroom, students 

are encouraged to ask questions, 

discover real-world applications, and 

become lifelong learners. The breadth of 

choice within Trinity’s curriculum allows 

students to explore their interests – 

whatever they may be – and experience 

challenging courses that allow them to 

achieve academic excellence through 

hard work and great teaching. 

Trinity is also a community of movement 

– whether that’s on the sports fields, 

on stage dramatically and musically, 

across chess boards, through water, 

in choirs, Cadets or debates. As they 

move, students develop discipline, 

resilience, healthy habits, and teamwork, 

complementing their academic learning. 

Underpinning all learning and 

development at Trinity is a Christian faith. 

Standing on an Anglican foundation, 

what sets the School’s heart to beat 

is a humble response to God. Trinity 

is committed to ensuring each boy is 

individually known, cared for, and guided 

to grow. Informed by a Christian ethos, 

Trinity partners with families to help raise 

young men who embody trustworthiness, 

decency and respect. 

From Prep to Year 12, Trinity challenges 

and supports students as they grow, 

encouraging them to be enquiring, 

creative, caring global citizens.

Year 12 

A contemporary, co-educational independent 

school offering a wide range of opportunities 

through its academic, co-curricular and 

student well-being programs. 

Right from the beginning, we were founded 

on innovative thinking and new ideas. At 

a time when independent schools were 

traditional, denominational, single sex, our 

founders took an entirely original approach to 

education. They envisioned a school where 

creative thinking, creative arts and creative 

teachers took precedence. They wanted 

to provide an extraordinary education for 

extraordinary individuals. 

For over forty years Hills Grammar offered 

families an alternative where students’ 

unique qualities and talents are highly 

valued. Co-educational by design, our 

founders believed that boys and girls 

learning together was natural and best 

prepared them for life after school. 

We believe that education should be an active 

pursuit where students learn in a supportive 

environment with passionate and inspiring, 

teachers. We surround our students with 

positive ambitious people, the resources, 

and the guidance to enable each individual 

to thrive. 

Our whole school pedagogical 

statement, Deeper Water, Deeper 

Learning informs the Hills Grammar 

community about our approach to Learning 

and Teaching, but also points the way to 

future innovations as the School strives to 

achieve its deeper purpose. We are conscious 

of the need to develop our students with the 

21st Century skills which will facilitate their 

success in the world they will inherit. 

The Hills Grammar School provides a safe 

and supportive co-educational environment 

in which each student is encouraged to 

strive for excellence in scholarship, personal 

development, and citizenship. Students are 

better able to achieve these outcomes when 

they are connected to a healthy, happy, and 

safe community. Our school’s response to 

the educational, personal, and social needs 

of its students acknowledges the need for 

a comprehensive whole school approach to 

student wellbeing. 

We pride ourselves on being deliberately different. 

Now, forty years, we have been nurturing children 

and young people to be confident, accomplished, and 

original. We are: 

• A vibrant community, united by the core values of 

Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence (R.I.S.E) 

• Working together to develop principled individuals 

and committed to the wellbeing of each child and 

young person 

• Truly independent; governed in partnership with its 

community and in the sole interest of its students, 

with no religious affiliation, nor governed by church 

or system 

• Intentionally co-educational from foundation 

• Allowing boys and girls to learn in accord with their 

natural styles, but benefiting from working alongside 

others who learn differently, ensuring well rounded 

learners are created 

• Proudly diverse and inclusive, composed of a wide 

range of abilities, backgrounds, strengths, and 

interests, mirroring the national and international 

environments from which our students are drawn 

and in which our graduates will live and work 

• A contemporary, forward looking and thinking 

school with a focus on learning and the learner, 

ensuring our graduates leave school appreciating 

and excited by the possibilities of education 

and lifelong learning, able to adapt, adjust and 

contribute to an ever-changing world

www.msb.nsw.edu.au 

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

grows and changes in the years she is a student 

at the College. 

The Framework is based on our belief that 

Learning at the College is inspired and informed 

by our Benedictine, Good Samaritan heritage. 

Our students are encouraged to contribute to 

our Catholic community with the gifts given to 

them and learn how to use these gifts to make 

a difference in the world. 

Learning experiences at Mount St Benedict 

College are developed in response to the 

diverse needs of our students, leading to a 

wide range of opportunities that meet the 

needs of individual students. 

We encourage our girls to seek and cultivate 

the best within themselves and strike a fulfilling, 

manageable balance in their experiences of 

love, work and play. In our holistic vision of 

education, students are able to build their 

confidence through our wellbeing structure 

that includes a community of house groups and

Redeemer Baptist School is a Pre-Kindergarten 

to Year 12 Christian school situated in a 

magnificent heritage site at North Parramatta 

with easy access to public transport. The 

School is committed to a Christian worldview 

in education and renowned for its academic 

standards. A comprehensive range of subjects 

and extra-curricular activities is offered for all 

ages, including vocational education options in 

the Senior School. 

Redeemer seeks to create a learning 

environment which is thoughtful, free, sharing 

and respectful rather than competitive, tense, 

self-serving and fearful. The School is a ministry 

of Redeemer Baptist Church. Staff are members 

of the Ministry Order of the Church. The 

sacrificial life of this religious community forms 

a base for a teaching and learning environment 

where people may discover friendship, pray for 

each other, and help the weakest. Individual 

learning is encouraged without usurping the 

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

responsibility of care for each other. 

School Camps provide a range of adventures 

as well as opportunity to reflect and build 

community. 

Our vision for Redeemer students is that they 

will contribute to individuals and society in good 

and strong ways. We hope that their lives will 

be formed by the Christian virtues—faith, hope 

and love—which by God’s grace they will have 

seen in operation among those who belong to 

Jesus at Redeemer. 

The championship record of Redeemer 

students in sport demonstrates skill, strength 

and team spirit. Redeemer students have won 

SWISSA soccer, netball, Oztag, swimming, 

athletics and cross country zone carnivals. At 

state level Combined Independent Schools 

(CIS) swimming and athletics carnivals, 

Redeemer Primary and Secondary students 

have won gold, silver and bronze medals.

St George Christian School is a life-giving 

learning community for students in Kindergarten 

to Year 12. 

The School is based across two campuses in 

the St George region of Sydney. Our size (dual 

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

allows us to know each student and enables 

the provision of a breadth of subject choices 

and co-curricular activities. 

Reflecting critical stages in the life of a child, 

our school structure includes Infants (K-2), 

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

Senior School (9-12) as distinct communities 

of learning, relationship and care. Each stage 

features an engaging and intellectually 

stimulating curriculum, designed to suit the 

interests, abilities and specific learning needs 

of each student. 

These stages are linked by transition programs 

designed to maintain and promote a secure, 

stable learning environment. SGCS provides 

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

integrated use and training in technology, 

focused leadership development, and extracurricular 

activities in science, technology and 

creative and performing arts. 

www.sgcs.com.au 

SGCS aims to equip your child for life, by 

combining educational excellence with a 

whole person approach to intellectual, social, 

physical, emotional and spiritual development. 

Our School has a strong tradition of service to 

others, and seeks to foster within our students 

a desire to look beyond themselves, engage in 

local and global issues and participate in the 

wider community. 

As a distinctively Christian School, we believe 

that a full and meaningful life comes through 

faith in Jesus Christ and from following His 

teachings. 

Considerate, respectful and encouraging 

relationships are central to our values and 

practice. We value each child as a unique 

creation, and actively strive to foster individual 

potential, self-discipline, independence, maturity 

and good character, with a firm focus on 

preparing children for life beyond their 

schooling years. 

Learning Communities 

• Infants Sans Souci Campus is a dedicated space for our 

youngest students to begin their schooling in a personal, 

caring and supportive environment 

• Junior School focuses on the exciting, inquisitive stage of 

education where students progress towards independent, 

enquiring learning. Through skills and enquiry-based 

exploration, Junior School builds on the educational 

foundations laid in the early years. Dual streaming of 

classes enables everyone to be known, cared for and 

personally challenged 

• Middle School offers a unique educational experience, 

specifically designed to meet the developmental needs 

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

crucial stage of early adolescence and have developed 

a Middle School focussed on providing intentional 

education for this age group 

• Senior School supports and extends students’ growth 

and development in independence, maturity, personal 

responsibility and leadership as they reach the 

culmination of their schooling and prepare for meaningful 

lives in the wider community. We aim to develop 

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

responsibility towards others 

Learning Spaces 

• Over the past five years, SGCS has reimagined learning 

with a complete rebuild of our Infants Sans Souci Campus, 

redesign of our Junior School, and the construction of 

new campus buildings and facilities for Middle School and 

Senior School at our Hurstville Campus

A TIGS education recognises that, to 

take students from strength to strength, 

a school needs to be consistent, creative 

and customised. 

Building on learning day-by-day, within a 

caring environment, founded on Christian 

beliefs and values. Each child develops a love 

of learning to inspire them both throughout 

their School journey and beyond into the 

modern, global landscape. 

Quality education is more than an 

examination score at The Illawarra Grammar 

School. Academic results are only part of 

what makes an education one of excellence. 

At TIGS, every child is understood as an 

individual, traveling a personalised learning 

journey, empowering them to thrive in an 

everchanging world. 

Your child’s education 

The consistently strong academic record at 

TIGS speaks for itself and behind those results 

is a team of high-quality educators delivering 

a learning programme personalised to 

your child. Through a flexible framework, 

delivered according to the individual needs 

of each student, your child learns to become 

an independent thinker with the skills for 

lifelong learning. Enrichment opportunities 

allow advanced students the opportunity to 

stretch themselves, while students who need 

extra support are nurtured to discover the 

tools that will enable them to succeed. 

Your child’s experiences 

With one of the largest co-curricular offerings 

in the Illawarra region, your child can explore 

their passions and interests at TIGS. Camps 

and outdoor education opportunities extend 

students beyond their comfort zones, 

building their resilience and confidence to 

take on any challenge. Visual and performing 

arts choices help creativity and technique 

blossom onstage, backstage and in the 

studio. Fitness, team building, developing 

perseverance and grit are just some of the 

benefits of sport co-curricular offerings, with 

the School’s Talented Athlete Programme 

taking this to the next level. In addition, 

other opportunities range from Science 

and Mathematics to debating and cultural 

experiences, ensuring there is something for 

every child, wherever their interests lie. 

Your child’s wellbeing 

The School believes building a caring and 

engaging community, founded on Christian 

beliefs, helps every student become strong 

emotionally, mentally, and socially. At TIGS, 

there is a dedicated focus on your child’s 

pastoral care. Expert staff oversee every 

student’s needs, including providing access to 

the learning support, counselling or services 

they need to grow from strength to strength. 

Classroom teachers, House Mentors, Year 

Group Deans and the Chaplaincy Team all 

work together to provide a consistent, daily 

connection to give your child the very best 

pastoral care. 

Your child’s future 

The Illawarra and the world need new types 

of leaders, at work, in public life, and at home. 

A generation with a wide range of skills and 

competencies, prepared to be adaptive, 

flexible, and courageous. A TIGS education 

can help your child become a leader of 

character, compassion, and critical thinking. 

To build a strong leader, you need a strong 

school to guide them – TIGS Strong.

As Inaburra School celebrates its 40 year 

anniversary, we are proud of the strong reputation 

we’ve built as a school of first choice in the 

Sutherland Shire and surrounding areas. But what 

makes Inaburra different? 

Safe, caring and supportive environment 

At the core of our learning community, we are 

a school where every individual is known and 

loved - a place where every student is valued 

as a person, made in the image of God. It is, first 

and foremost, a learning community in which staff 

and students learn with, and from, one another. 

However, we recognise that students need more 

than just knowledge and understanding to flourish 

today and into the future. We have a strong 

commitment to student welfare and are intentional 

about teaching students to strengthen their sense 

of wellbeing. 

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

believe exists for the primary purpose of assisting 

in supporting & developing my child to be the 

best version of themselves that they can be’. 

(Parent) 

Learning excellence 

Inaburra has developed an excellent reputation 

for its Creative and Performing Arts, world-class 

teaching practice, excellence in its facilities, the 

use of ICT for student learning and innovative 

programs such as the Global Education Program. 

We offer diverse learning spaces, designed to 

both facilitate collaboration and give students 

opportunities to be self-directed learners. Our 

goal is to embrace the diversity in learning styles 

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

‘It’s a credible institution that leads by example, 

thrives to be the best it can be with dedication 

and enthusiasm in teaching and understanding a 

child’s perspective and way of learning.’ (Parent)

INABURRA – Developing 

our students’ learning 

character 

At Inaburra we seek to prepare our students for 

an unknown future in which specific skills will 

be useful, but the capacity to learn will be of 

paramount importance. 

We recognise that our students will need to be 

resilient, resourceful and confident; able to learn 

effectively in collaboration as well as on their 

own, who are mindful of the needs of others and 

willing to give of themselves to see others thrive 

– these are the people who will shape a more 

compassionate and caring world in the future.

Year 12 

Shire Christian School is a nondenominational, 

co-educational Prep to Year 12 school, well known 

for providing an excellent Christian education. 

The school has a strong pastoral care program 

and seeks to create a culture where every child 

is part of a school community that feels like family. 

In this caring environment, students learn, grow 

and flourish. 

In recent years, the efforts of HSC students have 

seen Shire Christian School ranked as one of the 

highest-performing schools in the region. While 

this is cause for celebration, the school’s greatest 

joy is seeing every student achieve. 

Notwithstanding the importance of academic 

achievement, there are many essential features of 

a Christian education that can’t be easily measured 

through results. Teachers at the school desire to 

see every child establish meaningful relationships 

and develop skills, qualities and attributes that will 

equip them to embrace life’s challenges. 

Shire Christian School teachers are highly qualified, 

many hold master’s degrees and some have 

been awarded a PhD. Teachers are committed 

to receiving ongoing feedback on the quality of 

their work and engage with research on the best 

ways to improve student learning. All teachers at 

the school are Christians who are involved in their 

local church and are committed to living their lives 

according to what is taught in the Bible. Students 

study the Bible as a distinct subject and have the 

opportunity to understand a Christian perspective 

on a range of areas of learning. 

Shire Christian School has stimulating and 

academically rigorous programs and also 

provides meaningful, targeted support for 

students who may struggle in particular areas 

of their learning. The school offers exciting 

opportunities for students to develop their skills 

in sport and creative endeavours, enabling each 

student to thrive.

climate of respect and responsibility. 

The school campus is set amongst 12 

hectares of bushland and provides a tranquil 

setting with plenty of space for students to 

be active and freely move about. The school 

has two distinct spaces, Junior School and 

Senior School, with the two joined by a

have their own tailored environment to learn 

and grow.

independent learners and active participants 

in determining their own future, as well as

• Effective learning occurs when your students’ 

learning experiences are engaging, that is, 

when your students are doing rather than 

just listening 

• In inquiry-based learning, students take on 

more responsibility for identifying precisely 

what they need to learn and finding 

resources which will allow them to fill their 

knowledge gaps 

• Inquiry-based learning can help students to 

develop their research skills as self-directed 

learners 

• Students learn to identify and find answers 

to the questions that they need to ask and 

the resources that they need to draw upon in 

solving problems (often a real world problem) 

At St Brigid’s Catholic College we believe 

in the capabilities of young people. We 

see our role, in partnership with parents, 

as nurturing our students to explore who 

they are and what contribution they can 

make to the world. We believe that each 

child is made unique in the image of our 

loving God and therefore deserves to be 

treated with respect and dignity as part of 

God’s creation. 

During these precious years of 

development, it is important that we provide 

a safe and supportive environment in which 

they are encouraged to discover their 

learning passion. We want our students to 

discover the wonder of finding out about 

our world and to investigate relevant and 

significant issues through exposure to the 

rich learning tasks that teachers design 

using the curriculum as a platform.

is a unique experience for 

Senior students only and with a 

maximum student population of 

60, it is a tight-knit community. 

The Barker experience attracts boarders 

from the suburbs of Sydney through to
