Founded on principles of bilingual learning

and unity through diversity, IGS is dedicated

to shaping future generations of globallyconscious

citizens. As a co-educational and

secular independent school from Preschool

to Year 12, we embody our values of diversity,

authenticity, connectedness, personal

achievement, and vibrancy.

Our progressive learning community is

located in Ultimo, in the centre of Australia’s

most creative, dynamic, digital precinct, a

short walk to the University of Technology

Sydney and the University of Sydney. Our

idyllic Kangaroo Valley Retreat offers students

a host of immersive experiences, including

language camps, science and sustainability

field studies, Shakespeare in the Glade, music

camps, writers’ retreats, art en plein air, and

leadership programs.

Our unique languages program broadens

students’ cultural understanding and

communication skills. Each day from Early

Learning onwards, students experience partial

bilingual immersion, becoming familiar with

their additional languages, which can include

French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin

and Spanish. Families from all backgrounds

immediately feel at home in the IGS community,

where difference is celebrated.

At IGS, we harness the natural curiosity and

energy of our youngest learners. We draw

upon a broad mix of theories and philosophies

in early childhood education to ensure

children enjoy new and exciting opportunities

for developmental play and in-depth learning.

Our program is underpinned by the Early Years

Learning Framework, the national curriculum

of early education and care services.

Our Primary program provides opportunity,

challenge, and support to learners from

Kindergarten to Year 6. Meeting individual

learning needs has a positive effect on

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.

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 programme 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 programme

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 programme 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 programme. Many of our teachers

are invited to present at state and national

educational conferences and professional

associations, and as an educational leader, we

hold conferences, host international experts

and encourage thought leadership.

What makes St Andrew’s Cathedral School different

• Our Christian tradition means we have essential

convictions about the dignity of every student—each

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

• Expert teachers - we promote best practice

teaching by encapsulating the best of explicit

teaching, inquiry-based learning and cognitive

science, all combined with the aim of fostering

deep learning.

• We are an IB world school: MYP and Diploma

- we teach global mindedness: an openness

to the world, so that our students learn to

appreciate difference and recognise their deep

interconnectedness with others.

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

global curriculum and immediate access to cultural

and tertiary institutions, innovation, hubs, and

business and social entrepreneurs.

• We always seek to care for the whole child -

considering their intellectual, physical, social,

emotional, and spiritual wellbeing and development.

• Character development is fundamental to our

pursuit of academic excellence and is at the heart of

our teaching and pastoral care.

St Vincent’s College is a contemporary

Catholic day and boarding school for girls.

Our ethos is founded on the belief that

an independent education should offer

advantage, not entitlement.

The College maintains a modest and balanced

approach, encouraging students to engage in

a culture that is informative, transformative,

and empowering.

Our motto, ‘Scientia cum Religione’

(knowledge and religion united), inspires

us to blend the wisdom and understanding

gained through education with the virtues

of Christianity—love, compassion, care, and

justice. This integration aims to model the life

of Jesus and his concern for people.

As we look toward a future rich with

opportunities for women in Australia, St

Vincent’s College is dedicated to empowering

young women to be independent thinkers,

compassionate individuals, and confident

contributors to society.

Students are encouraged to explore their

athletic abilities through individual and

team sports, unleash their creativity in

the performing and creative arts, express

their generous spirit through social justice

projects and build character through

leadership opportunities.

Our diverse curriculum includes STEM, dance,

performance arts, philosophy, debating, public

speaking, choral and instrumental music, and

the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.

The College Sports Program enjoys high

participation rates, with students choosing at

least one team or individual sport each term

from an extensive list that includes basketball,

netball, hockey, softball, volleyball, touch

football, soccer, water polo, athletics, cross

country and swimming.

Students in Years 7 to 10 participate in an

annual Outdoor Education Camp, while those

in Years 11 and 12 attend retreats that deepen

their relationships with God and each other.

Our learning framework celebrates the

individuality and giftedness of each student,

fostering the development of intellectual,

spiritual, emotional, physical, and aesthetic

qualities. The modern curriculum integrates

the Ignatian principles with the best

pedagogical practices.

Developing Personal Excellence

Personal excellence Is encouraged by offering each student a

diverse and challenging curriculum delivered by professional,

enthusiastic and caring educators. The College’s Learning

Framework speaks to our commitment to:

• developing in students the critical and intellectual

capacity to engage with new ideas

• fostering the behaviours and attributes that

support effective learning and

• providing scope for our students to achieve mastery and find

agency and personal voice in their learning experiences

Learning is personalised with a strong focus on differentiation and a

range of opportunities for enrichment, extension and acceleration.

Classes take advantage of our city location to connect with

local businesses, museums and cultural sites to extend learning

opportunities as part of the holistic education offered at the College.

The Scots College is more than just a school

for boys. An Early Years to Year 12 education

that no other school can offer, this is the Scots

Advantage. We prepare boys to succeed in a

world that is constantly being reinvented.

The Scots College is a distinctive Australian

school that defends the honourable traditions,

adventures and learning of boys. We exist to

inspire boys to learn, lead and serve as they

strive for excellence together. Scots has been

raising fine young men since 1893 from Sydney,

New South Wales and many different nations

from around the world.

Academic excellence is critically important,

and our record demonstrates our success. But

Scots aims for an even higher goal. We prepare

boys to succeed in a world that is constantly

being reinvented.

Our deep understanding of how boys grow

and learn is captured in our Brave Hearts Bold

Minds philosophy. This means we support

every boy, at every stage of development, to

become a confident, well-grounded young man

of integrity. They will become the fine young

men of the next generation who will, in their

turn, reinvent their world. This is why academic

success alone does not prepare boys for the

www.scots.college

future. A strong sense of identity, values, and

character is vital.

The College has intentionally chosen a path

where active learning works with academic

excellence. Our local, national and international

programs, inspire our boys to become

principled, compassionate and engaged

citizens of their College, their community and

their world.

Boarders have been a vital part of the Scots

community for over a century.

Boarding at Scots, available from Year 5

onwards, offers high quality education in a

safe and nurturing environment, where your

son is supported to reach his full potential. As

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

Boarding Houses where he will be provided

with strong pastoral care and individual

attention while experiencing the joys of being

a part of his House ‘family’.

Currently the College has one major

construction project underway:

• Replacing the former Stevenson Library with

the John Cunningham Student Centre which

will become the hub of student learning

Overview

The Scots College is a distinctive Australian school

If you can dream it,

you can do it at Pymble

At Pymble, historic Australian charm meets innovative, state-of-the-art

facilities to delight and engage our students in their future-focused learning.

Our College sits on 50 acres of beautiful park-like grounds in Sydney’s

North Shore. The grounds feature a beautiful mix of heritage buildings and

contemporary, architecturally designed learning spaces with world-class

sporting and co-curricular specialist facilities.

COME AND PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS

AND PASSIONS

We have more than 50 co-curricular sports and

activities on offer – and if we don’t have the team

you are looking for, we will create it.

Whether your interest lies in a particular sporting

field or arena, in or on the water, on or behind the

stage in Performing Arts, in Robotics or with our

all-female Army Cadet Corps, the opportunities are

endless and the support, coaching and mentoring

you will receive are world-class.

Since day one, Pymble has educated girls and

young women to become compassionate and

influential changemakers in the world through

their work in business, politics, community

service, the arts, medicine, law, sports, media and

entertainment. Our robust academic record is equal

to our commitment to co-curricular pursuits and

nurturing a community-wide culture of caring –

caring for self, others and the environment.

“I’ve been at Pymble Ladies College

since kindergarten; the College is

really my second home.

I compete nationally in artistic

gymnastics, am passionate about

acting and performing and also

enjoy rock climbing, mountain

biking and ice skating.

I value the many diverse opportunities

and incredible support offered to all

Pymble girls to thrive in whatever

they choose to do.

Pymble gives me the foundation,

confidence, and belief in myself

to pursue all my dreams.”

HERE

There are two distinct differences at Barker

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

and intentionally allows people to thrive in a

holistic sense – emotionally, physiologically,

physically, academically.

The second thing is that we have a firm

coeducational identity and a firm expression of

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

and thrive irrespective of interests, skillset or

capacity and be committed to doing that in a

way that brings young men and young women

together for the proper expression of human

interaction and identity.

Student health and wellbeing

Barker is committed to creating and fostering

a caring and positive Christian environment for

every student, in order for our young people to

be known, supported and equipped with the

social and emotional tools needed to thrive.

Students are immersed in holistic learning

experiences where wellbeing is carefully

considered and integrated into academic

learning, outdoor education, service learning,

Connect groups, the House system, cocurricular

programs, sport, student academic

care and support, and through Christian

faith development.

Beyond the Classroom

The experience inside the classroom is only

one part of a Barker education.

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

range of sporting, cultural and recreational cocurricular

activities. Throughout Years 7 to 12,

our students have even greater opportunities

to pursue their passions. As well as Drama,

Music, Cadets, Outdoor Education and over 20

different sports, Barker students can challenge

themselves in the areas of robotics, debating

and public speaking.

Building on more than 130 years of heritage,

the School has grown in two areas. Firstly,

there is our Indigenous education outreach

program, which goes beyond boarding and into

establishing Indigenous schools in partnership

with Indigenous community leaders. The

second is in our emphatic commitment to a full

coeducational experience for our students.

No two days at Barker are ever the same.

Students are constantly challenging themselves

– and being challenged – as they grow, expand

their minds and learn to think big, practically

and independently.

• A Barker education is shaped by our focus on

preparing for a life beyond the School gates

• Every Barker student is different. What they all

have in common is a confidence to embrace the

challenge of the future and a capacity to make their

own positive impact on the world

• We are excited about the future of education at

Barker and the invaluable opportunities coeducation

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

Christian education that inspires global hope

• From Pre-Kindergarten through to the Senior

years, students are exposed to a range of diverse

opportunities and experiences

• Barker is a place where every student belongs, is

valued and loves to be

• The contemporary curriculum provides a balanced

program drawing on foundational skills, guided

inquiry, collaborative learning, and the appropriate

use of resources, particularly technology

• An understanding of social justice and a recognition

of the importance of positive relationships

• The development of independent and critical

thinking as a means to becoming a life long learner

Founded in 1989, the German International

School Sydney (GISS) is a co-educational,

non-denominational day school offering highquality

education from Preschool to Year 12.

Knowledge of the German language is not a

prerequisite.

By fusing Australian, German and European

excellence, GISS provides top tier multilingual

secular co-education. GISS is dedicated

to igniting a passion for lifelong learning,

empowering its students to reach their full

potential and succeed in our fast-changing

global society.

The school’s 415 students are part of an

international community, with about half of them

coming from Germany, Austria, Switzerland and

many other countries and the other half from

Australia. GISS is committed to inspire and

challenge its students to become responsible,

reliable and confident bilingual adults.

Curriculum

GISS is registered with the NSW Board of

Studies and its unique curriculum blends

the NSW and German curricula, ensuring

that the requirements of both curricula are

met. The International Baccalaureate (IB)

Diploma Program taught in Years 11 and 12 is

an excellent preparation for university and

www.giss.nsw.edu.au

a global future. The IB diploma is offered in

English or bilingually with selected subjects in

German and English. It is widely recognised

by Australian and overseas universities as the

entry qualification of choice. With a staggering

100% IB Diploma award rate GISS’ graduates

have for many years achieved a phenomenal

offer rate for their 1st or 2nd preferences at

renowned local and international universities.

GISS has been recognised as an “Excellent

German School Abroad” by the German

Government and its Preschool has been

awarded the rating “Exceeding National Quality

Standards”.

GISS is also proud of its students’ achievements,

scoring well above the national average in the

last three NAPLAN tests. As a school, GISS

does not focus on standardised testing, but the

results indicate that its educational approach

produces above-average learning outcomes.

GISS offers After School and Vacation care

providing tailored enrichment and engaging

experiences in a safe, screen free and healthy

environment that is fostered through responsive

relationships. GISS also has a playgroup for

under 3-year-olds which runs weekly.

GISS is located in Terrey Hills. Public and private

bus transport are available.

• GISS has a long-standing history of academic excellence

maintaining a staggering 100% IB Diploma award for many years.

• The school believes in fostering a welcoming and inclusive

environment where students can thrive both academically and

personally. Students are not required to wear uniforms, as GISS

trusts in the maturity and responsibility of its students to dress

appropriately for a learning environment while embracing

their individuality.

• With an incredibly diverse community of 38 nationalities GISS and

its students collectively speak 42 languages.

• It is not necessary to be familiar with the German language as we

boast a successful intensive language immersion programme,

leading to bilingual competency in both English and German.

• Join GISS’ Open Day to discover what sets GISS apart and why

GISS is one of the top Preschools as well as Primary and Secondary

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.

Pittwater House is an independent, secular

school offering a well-rounded education to

students from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12.

The School is structured to provide

predominantly single-gender classes on a

co-educational campus – offering the unique

benefits of both single and co-educational

environments. Pittwater House terms this

structure ‘Twin Schooling’.

The School’s individualised teaching

approach ensures each student is known

and cared for in small class sizes. This allows

staff to develop a true understanding of every

child’s abilities, talents and needs.

Pittwater House’s motto Semper Diligens -

‘Always Hardworking’, underpins the attitude

to which students apply themselves each day

in all that they do.

The Core Values of Pittwater House are

represented by the mnemonic ‘HEROIC’ and

signify the widely adopted expression of

their students’ purpose and interactions in

the classroom, on the sporting fields, in the

Cadet Corps, on the stage and in the broader

community.

Twin Schooling Structure

While the Pre-Kindergarten class is fully coed,

students from Kindergarten to Year 8 are

taught in single-gender classrooms.

In Years 9 and 10 students start to participate

in co-educational classes for three of their

elective subjects and by Years 11 and 12,

all classes are co-educational, preparing

students for life beyond school.

The Twin Schooling structure allows teachers

to utilise gender-based strategies to optimise

learning. This approach results in students

that grow in confidence, benefit academically

and have an improved attitude to learning.

Outside of class, students mix with one

another during break times and in various cocurricular

activities, helping them develop the

socialisation skills needed to form respectful

and positive relationships with their peers.

Our Learning Approach

Pittwater House’s highly qualified teachers

use an evidence-based teacher-framed,

student-led model known as ‘Deep Learning’,

enabling students to gain a deeper

understanding of the curriculum to master

essential academic content.

At its core are six essential competencies,

which are fostered in students to inspire

a progressive learning journey. These

competencies help students integrate

academic skills with personal and social

capabilities, benefiting them in the classroom

and beyond for a lifetime of learning.

Co-curricular Opportunities

Pittwater House offers students a broad array

of co-curricular opportunities to cater to

diverse interests and abilities. Most activities

take place on the 3.5-hectare campus before

or after school and are led by qualified staff or

external professionals.

Whether it be performing arts disciplines,

sporting pursuits, cadets, clubs or youth

development programs, Pittwater House

offers students countless ways to explore their

interests, develop their talents and become

thriving members of the school community.

• Twin Schooling structure - single-gender classes on

a co-educational campus

• Passionate teachers who are supported to maintain

the best standards of practice in a strong culture of

collaborative professional learning

• Spacious 3.5-hectare campus with full-service

facilities onsite including an 8-lane swimming pool,

multi-purpose playing field, outdoor courts, indoor

sports centre, performing arts centre, health centre

Shore’s is founded on authentic and

transformative Christian faith and emphasises

engaged rigour in academic work, relational

service of others, growth in character and

personal best in sports and co-curricular

activities. With this as its foundation and within

the terms of its charter, Shore is recognised as

a pre-eminent Australian school.

Shore aims to provide breadth and depth in

its curriculum. The courses offered allow for a

degree of specialisation and provide the boys

with scope to follow their particular interests

and strengths. Although it is comprehensive in

its intake, Shore’s HSC results are comparable

to those of most of the State’s selective high

schools. The strong results are based upon

an emphasis on staff selection, professional

development and building a strong learning

culture amongst students.

The Sports programme is a vital part of every

Shore boy’s learning and development process.

Shore prides itself in presenting teams that are

well prepared in sport throughout the sporting

calendar. In addition to traditional sports such

as athletics, cricket, tennis, rowing, rugby and

football, the School offers a wide range of other

activities such as biathlon, sprint and strength,

Surf Life Saving, shooting, rock climbing, AFL,

golf, snowsports, taekwondo and water polo.

Providing a strong Pastoral Care system is seen

as an integral part of helping each boy at Shore

reach his full potential intellectually, emotionally

and spiritually. Pastoral Care is designed

to assist the individual boy in enriching his

personal life, prepare him for educational

choice, and offer guidance and counselling to

help him come to terms with his responsibilities

in meeting the intellectual and social demands

of adult life.

Service Learning is also a very important

component of a Shore education. Shore sees

these service learning activities as means of

‘Building Good Men’. Shore aims to graduate

men who are compassionate and understand

others, with the willingness and ability to relate

to people who are different from themselves

before they move on to making their

contribution to the wider community.

Shore has one of Australia’s leading High Potential

Learners (HPL) programmes. We recognise that

every child is unique, and we are proud to offer a

specialised programme designed to support those

who show significant promise.

Over the past 30 years, St Luke’s Grammar

School has developed a strong reputation

for academic excellence, with engaged

Learning Framework. Combined with warm

pastoral care and deep community spirit,

St Luke’s is recognised as one of the leading

central to the mission of St Luke’s. We offer a

wide range of age-appropriate activities that

proactively promote effective relationship

building, community connection and emotional

wellbeing, and which involve nurturing the

whole child – physical, social, emotional,

intellectual and spiritual.

Situated on Sydney’s beautiful Northern

Beaches, St Luke’s combines a blend of

landscaped grounds and modern class spaces.

In addition to onsite facilities, students at

St Luke’s make frequent use of local sporting

fields, beaches and swim centres.

With further building works planned in 2025,

St Luke’s will continue to be a progressive and

well-appointed learning environment where

students will be presented with opportunities

that both prepare them for the future and

empower them to be the ones who shape it.

In the spirit of our foundress Mary Ward who

believed that “women in time to come will

do much,” Loreto Normanhurst encourages

young women to take their place in the world

as seekers of truth and instruments of justice.

The award-winning Loreto Normanhurst

Student Growth Model (LNSGM) emphasises

collaboration, creative and critical thinking,

digital capabilities, adaptability and

independence. By offering a breadth of

learning experiences inside and outside

the classroom, it develops our students

into agile and resilient thinkers who are

prepared to navigate an ever-changing

global landscape.

The cornerstone of the LNSGM is the FACE

Curriculum, which places equal importance

on the holistic development of each student

across Faith, Academic, Community and

Extra-curricular.

The LNSGM includes our bespoke subject,

Integrated Learning. This subject has a skills

focus with an emphasis on cross-curricular

priorities. It is delivered in flexible open learning

spaces facilitated by a team of dynamic

teachers from different discipline areas.

The model is also supported by a strong

Pastoral Care program featuring a House

system and advisors and tutors who care

for the students and get to know them as a

whole person.

Through our extensive extra-curricular

programs, students have further opportunities

to support their learning and growth through

leadership, social justice, sport, music, oratory,

speech and drama.

The success of the LNSGM is evident in

our consistently high HSC Results and the

formation of our graduates as ‘Compassionate

Warriors’: independent, articulate and

compassionate women of grit, independent

thinking, voice, creativity, conscious faith

and service.

Our fully flexible Boarding model welcomes

students from ex-pat and overseas families and

the Sydney basin, with 80% of our boarders

coming from rural NSW. Since our foundation

in 1897, Loreto Boarding has remained integral

to our educational environment, enriching

the diversity of our thriving community by

connecting students from all over Australia

and the world.

Step through the front gates of Loreto Kirribilli,

and you will encounter what is warmly referred

to throughout our community as our school

‘spirit’. Intangible, indefinable, our school spirit

is the reason our harbourside campus is vibrant,

welcoming and full of life, and why every

student develops a deep sense of belonging to

a rich community of faith.

It is our spirit that imbues every learning

opportunity, every feast day and extracurricular

activity. Perhaps it is the very same spirit that

over 400 years ago gave our Loreto foundress,

Mary Ward, the courage and strength of faith to

establish her schools for girls.

Our Values

Our strength is driven by our values: freedom,

justice, sincerity, verity and felicity. We nurture

these qualities in our students to assist them

to become women of purpose, with a profound

sense of their own worth and an enduring

sense of responsibility to others.

Culture of Excellence

At our heart is a culture of growth and

excellence, where every student has the

opportunity to flourish, in the classroom, on

stage, on the sporting field, in positions of

leadership and advocacy, and in the pursuit of

social justice.

In Loreto Kirribilli’s community of faith, we

nurture the spiritual, intellectual and social

development of our students, so they are

tomorrow’s women, ready to go out into the

world and make a positive difference.

ST JOSEPH’S COLLEGE

SYDNEY NORTH

www.joeys.org

Established by the Marist Brothers in 1881, St

Joseph’s College – known as Joeys – is a Catholic

secondary school for boys. Staff, students and

families incorporate the Marist values in all they

do, creating an environment in which boys are

nurtured to become good men and to realise their

potential. These values of presence, simplicity, love

of work, family spirit and in the way of Mary are

central to our mission as educators.

Academic & Pastoral Care

Our vision is to educate boys for life, learning

and leadership for the common good, through

our Catholic faith environment and an integrated

program of teaching and learning, co-curricular

activities and pastoral care. College staff provide

each boy with the highest quality education and

guidance. We work in close partnership with

families to ensure your boys have every opportunity

to become men of intelligence, leadership,

compassion, resilience and faith.

St Joseph’s College prizes academic excellence

without compromising on personal growth and

development. With a vibrant array of opportunities,

the College cherishes every student’s unique

aspiration. Our recent graduates will inspire the next

generation of Joeys boys to aim high, with the Class

of 2023 attaining 209 entries on the Distinguished

Achievers list, multiple students achieving ATARs

above 98 and the Dux obtaining the perfect ATAR

score of 99.95. This affirms St Joseph’s College as

an ideal destination for aspiring high achievers and

accelerated learners.

To prepare students for a world that values not only

intellectual acumen but also practical skills and

creativity, Joeys promotes a culture that balances

academic, cultural and sporting pursuits.

St Joseph’s has a distinguished legacy of sporting

excellence, nurturing numerous sportsmen who

have gone on to represent at state and national

levels. Much of the College’s success is attributable

to the strong team spirit fostered by our tight-knit,

supportive community. With strong links to local and

international communities and rural Australia, our

students can undertake immersions in Tanzania,

Kiribati, Timor-Leste and the Kimberley region,

and experience language exchanges in Japan and

France. Just a few of the activities that students can

participate in throughout their time at Joeys include

robotics competitions, debating, reading groups,

strategic games, drama productions and music

ensembles and choirs, community volunteering

and mentoring.

As the largest all-male boarding and day school

in Australia, Joeys brings together students from

diverse backgrounds and locations, who live, work,

play and pray together. Day students and boarders

alike benefit from the lifelong connections that the

boarding environment encourages. The cherished

city–country connection is one of the defining

features of Joeys life.

Whether your son is gifted academically, creative at

heart, a sports fanatic or a driven all-rounder, he will

find his place at Joeys.

The College’s motto In Meliora Contende – striving

for better things – encapsulates the core value that

all Joeys boys live by. Parents entrust Joeys with

not only the education of their son, but the overall

development, care and welfare of his whole person.

Above all, Joeys is about developing young men of

character, courage and integrity.

The College nurtures the emotional, spiritual,

About Meriden

For more than 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 top-performing 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 educational professionals

who are leaders in their areas of expertise. Our

talented and dedicated staff members keep

Meriden at the forefront of girls’ education.

Location

Meriden’s central location, in the heart of

Strathfield, makes travelling to the School from

all areas of Sydney and surrounding regions

convenient and direct. Our students come

from local suburbs and from further afield and

Meriden has its own fleet of private buses to

complement the many public transport routes

to the School.

Meriden’s three campuses are located adjacent

to one another. Each campus is designed

according to the developmental needs of its

students to maximise learning. Their proximity

fosters a unique sense of community spirit and

school pride across all age groups.

Beyond the classroom

During their time at Meriden, students are

encouraged to immerse themselves in a wide

range of experiences to develop a portfolio of

achievement in areas including public speaking,

debating, the Australian Army Cadets and social

justice initiatives. Our cocurricular program is

broad and every girl has the opportunity to try

new things and find her niche.

Meriden’s thriving Music Department aims to

foster a love of music in every student. The

School’s many choirs and instrumental groups

cater to every music style and level of ability.

Our musicians have a myriad of performance

opportunities throughout the year to showcase

their latest repertoire. Girls with exceptional

musical talent may be invited to join the

Amadeus Program, which provides specialised

support that nurtures each student’s musical

development.

Meriden’s highly-regarded sporting program

offers a variety of team and individual

sports and encourages every girl to care for

her physical wellbeing. The School has a

remarkable record of sporting achievement,

with Meriden girls having represented Australia

in athletics, swimming, water polo, badminton

and tennis. The School’s Olympus Program

caters to the educational and sporting needs of

our elite athletes, supporting them to fulfil their

academic and sporting potential.

Encouraging students to give back to the

community and care for one another is an

integral part of life at Meriden. Our students

gain a deep understanding of the importance

of making meaningful contributions to the

community through their participation in

fundraising and community service activities.

Every student leaves Meriden with first-hand

experience of what it means to be an active and

engaged citizen.

MLC School is an independent, non-selective

Uniting Church school for girls from Pre-

Kindergarten to Year 12 in the Inner West

of Sydney. From Pre-Kindergarten through

to their time as Senior School students,

MLC School girls dare to be more. In 2020,

MLC School was the highest-ranked IB School

in Australia.

Led by a highly professional staff under the

guidance of Principal Lisa Moloney, girls

are challenged and encouraged to question

traditional perceptions and roles of women

and are instilled with the skills and confidence

to take their place in an ever-changing

society. MLC School prepares girls for a life

of learning by motivating them to pursue

excellence, demonstrate integrity, celebrate

diversity, embrace world citizenship and live

with humility. A wide selection of subject

choices, as well as an extensive co-curricular

program aims to empower girls to be selfreliant

and play an active role in their futures.

Senior Centre

The award-winning Senior Centre, opened

in 2019, takes classroom practice to a new

level and is reflective of modern workplaces.

The aim is to equip girls with the skills

to be successful in a collaborative, team

environment and to be comfortable in

open-planned, flexible spaces designed for

impromptu group work sessions.

Immersive Learning

Year 7 to Year 10 are pivotal years at

MLC School where girls experience Immersive

Learning journeys that broaden each year.

The experiences, that may take place locally,

regionally, or abroad, aim to broaden horizons,

encourage resilience and foster a growth

mindset to underpin success in their senior

years of schooling. Each immersive learning

experience is unique in its design, but they

all have some common threads that link the

experiences together. Academically, each girl

takes responsibility for her own path in the

final years, and this is a crucial stage in her

journey towards becoming an independent,

fearless and empowered young woman.

HSC and IB in the Senior School

Girls can choose between the Higher

School Certificate (HSC) or the International

Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, with

nearly 40 per cent of students choosing to

study the IB. In 2021, the School was named

No 1 IB School in Australia and a Top 50

Global IB School. Over 68 MLC School girls

have achieved the IB Diploma score of 45/45

since the programme was introduced in

2002, and all girls consistently score well.

Visit the campus, meet the girls and

professional teaching staff, and experience

the benefits of joining the MLC School

community.

MLC School offers a range of scholarships,

including the Principal’s Scholarship,

scholarships for new students, continuing

students, all-rounders, music students

and daughters of Old Girls. Some of our

scholarships are means tested.

Why St Scholastica’s College for Your Daughter?

St Scholastica’s College is a Catholic,

independent school in the Good Samaritan

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

boarding school – affectionately known as

‘Schols’ – has been educating young women

for 140 years, instilling values which have

their foundations in the Catholic faith and the

inspiration of the Parable of the Good Samaritan

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

We proudly describe our College as a ‘school

like no other’ because of the rare balance

between academic achievement, creativity

and excellence in the Arts and sports, in an

environment that gives emphasis to personal

growth, nurturing pastoral care, inclusion,

diversity and respect. Schols has a rich history

of educating international, metropolitan, rural,

regional and remote students and reducing the

educational gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait

Islander girls.

Our educational offering – through innovation

and evidence-based continual development –

challenges young women to become citizens

who will make a positive difference to the

world. A Schols education is holistic and

strongly grounded in academic and personal

growth, developing young women to become

wise, just, compassionate, balanced, and

well equipped for an ever-changing world.

The College actively promotes the essential

values of Hospitality, Compassion and Justice,

Stewardship, Harmony and Wisdom.

Opportunities for local community outreach

and immersion in the works of the Sisters of

the Good Samaritan domestically and abroad

add great depth to the experiences at Schols.

A broad range of social justice initiatives

underpins our faith in action and builds a strong

sense of other.

St Scholastica’s College is a wonderful place

for boarders to live, learn and be taught. Within

a beautiful and peaceful landscape a rich and

diverse community of parents, students and

staff all play a vital role in living the Benedictine

values of the College. It does not replace home

but it is a great place to make lifelong friends.

As a Catholic School, the study of Religious

Education is compulsory in all years. The

foundations of the College exist within the

Parable of the Good Samaritan and the strength

of the Benedictine tradition.

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

the very best learning opportunities

• Our aim is to develop young women with a moral

compass, well qualified and equipped to make

their way in the world. We do this by instilling

a love of learning, an inquiring mind and an

entrepreneurial spirit. Students also benefit from

exposure to a diverse school community featuring

international, Indigenous and boarding students

from a wide variety of backgrounds

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

and/or 4D artworks in forms which may include

drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, digital

imaging, time-based forms or sculpture

• Visual Arts at Schols also offers a course in

Photography and Digital Media

• Whether engaged in drawing, painting, ceramics

or any number of other visual art forms on offer,

students are enabled to communicate ideas

visually, to understand how imagery impacts the

world and, practically, to develop their own body

of unique work

• Music at Schols encompasses choirs, instrumental

ensembles, bands and chamber orchestras

• Schols participates in the Catholic Girls’

Secondary Schools Sports Association (CGSSSA)

whose mission is to promote a sporting

environment that fosters enthusiasm, friendly

competition, skill development, personal

excellence and a lifelong interest in sport

Centrally located in Sydney’s thriving

inner-west, Trinity Grammar School

enrols boys from a wide variety of ethnic

and religious backgrounds and many

different suburbs across Sydney.

With a rich history of guiding and

educating young men, Trinity has been

building its reputation for excellence since

1913, providing students with a thoroughly

Christian education in mind, body, and

spirit. Trinity recognises that these three

elements need to be working in tandem

to support students as they grow to be

good men of character who will care

about others, our world, and themselves.

A learning community, Trinity knows that

the growth and development of the mind

is a crucial concern. Through the formal

curriculum and the classroom, students

are encouraged to ask questions,

discover real-world applications, and

become lifelong learners. The breadth of

choice within Trinity’s curriculum allows

students to explore their interests –

whatever they may be – and experience

challenging courses that allow them to

achieve academic excellence through

hard work and great teaching.

Trinity is also a community of movement

– whether that’s on the sports fields,

on stage dramatically and musically,

across chess boards, through water,

in choirs, Cadets or debates. As they

move, students develop discipline,

resilience, healthy habits, and teamwork,

complementing their academic learning.

Underpinning all learning and

development at Trinity is a Christian faith.

Standing on an Anglican foundation,

what sets the School’s heart to beat

is a humble response to God. Trinity

is committed to ensuring each boy is

individually known, cared for, and guided

to grow. Informed by a Christian ethos,

Trinity partners with families to help raise

young men who embody trustworthiness,

decency and respect.

From Prep to Year 12, Trinity challenges

and supports students as they grow,

encouraging them to be enquiring,

creative, caring global citizens.

potential for greatness.

Childhood Education Centre. Junior School

based curriculum, promoting curiosity,

questioning and wonder. Students in the

and love of learning as engaged and

critical thinkers. Throughout their learning

belonging within a community of learners.

Original and

Future Focused

Extraordinary Education:

Growing Minds, Discovering Passions, Nurturing Character

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

With a strong focus on individual growth and

innovation, Hills Grammar Students are offered

remarkable opportunities in STEM, Humanities,

the Arts, Languages, Sport, Advocacy and

Entrepreneurialism. In line with our vision,

from Early Childhood to Year 12, our students

are nurtured and encouraged to discover and

develop their own passions.

As part of our Graduate Aim, in partnership

with our families and community and in an

environment where wellbeing, connectedness,

and high expectations matter, we work to enable

our students to value their local community, act

and think like global citizens and environmental

stewards, while leading with conviction,

courage, and compassion to make an impact in

the world.

Our curriculum has the United Nations

Sustainable Goals embedded in Kindergarten to

Year 10 inquiry units.

Outside the curriculum, our Hills Originals have

embraced the pursuit of sustainability through

a wide range of student-led initiatives and

projects.

The Sustainability team has implemented wastefree

lunch days, the ‘return and earn’ system

and a school-wide waste audit to be more aware

of what is being diverted to landfill and make

positive changes.

‘Project Change’ is a student-led group involved

in studying a Platypus population, recently

discovered in the creek that runs through the

school’s bushland campus.

In addition, as part of the One Planet Network

our students have sensors set up throughout the

campus that are recording and comparing our

carbon emissions to those of schools and farms

in 17 countries around the world.

We are proud to be the first school in the

country to engage in a micro-credential pathway

to experience university, via the UTS ‘Innovation

in Complex Systems’ course. Our Year 10

students were challenged to come up with

innovative solutions to help the school reach

net zero by 2035, looking not only at practical

solutions but also leading behaviour change to

achieve this goal. The four groups who achieved

the highest marks were invited to present their

solutions to the School Executive and School

Council during the School’s Strategic Planning

Day.

As one of 26 schools acknowledged nationally

by The Educator as a 5 Star Sustainable School,

our commitment to sustainability extends

beyond what is taught in the classroom, to our

business operations, strategic and master plan.

Georges River Grammar is an independent,

co-educational school for students from

Kindergarten to Year 12, located in South

West Sydney. Affectionately known as GRG,

the School is a dynamic and supportive

environment that offers students varied

opportunities for a holistic and engaging

education which enables every GRG student

to thrive, grow and prosper.

GRG is committed to providing students with

a safe, encouraging, and nurturing learning

environment, whereby each student is

known and supported throughout their own

unique learning journey and provided with

opportunities to experience success and

achievement. We are a community where the

values of sacrifice, community, compassion,

and service take pride of place.

Our highly professional and committed staff

challenge each student to extend themselves

in their academic, social, physical, and spiritual

endeavours. Empowered with the knowledge,

skills and capabilities required in our everchanging

world, our students are developed

into compassionate, resilient, engaged and

accomplished lifelong learners.

GRG recognises that the physical learning

environment also has a strong influence on

student learning. GRG is a well-resourced

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

allows students to come to school each day

ready to learn and be proud of their school.

Learning @ GRG

The construction of an enriching, supportive

and challenging learning environment

promotes a culture of academic excellence

at GRG. Students are encouraged to think

independently, take responsibility for their

learning, and develop academic resilience.

Differentiation is the key to ensuring that each

individual student’s strengths and weaknesses

are considered in the creation of responsive,

innovative and engaging programs that

allows every student the opportunity to reach

their potential.

Finding individual pathways of learning for

each student through the creation of a rich,

diverse and engaging curriculum allows GRG

students to discover their own talents and

pursue their passions.

Co-Curricular & Sporting Programs @ GRG

GRG also offers an extensive co-curricular

program that provides students with many

opportunities to reach their personal best

outside the classroom. The list of options for

the students to choose from grows each year:

Duke of Edinburgh, Study Hub, Debating,

Public Speaking, various clubs and after-school

activities, as well as an extensive performing

arts and peripatetic music program, are just a

few of the co-curricular activities on offer.

The GRG Sports Program plays an integral

role in the life of students at GRG. The School

fosters a sporting environment which caters

for the diverse school community through the

provision of a variety of sporting activities for

all students who wish to participate in sport

and physical activity, regardless of ability.

Student Wellbeing @ GRG

Wellbeing underpins every aspect of a

student’s schooling; from their ability to learn,

their capacity to build positive relationships

and ultimately their educational outcomes. We

believe that working in partnership with parents

and families is essential to student wellbeing,

and developing effective partnerships built

on trust, respect, and shared responsibility,

means that our students flourish.

The key components of positive psychology

are embedded throughout GRG, as students

learn the importance of developing a growth

was established as a ministry of a local church

in partnership with families. Regents Park

Christian School provides excellence in Christian

There’s something for everyone at Regents Park

Christian School, whether it’s sport, music or the

unique co-curricular activities and lunch clubs

is extensive.

A Christ-centred learning community where all

students are nurtured to know the Lord Jesus

Christ, grow in Him, and serve Him to their full

potential. This means we must follow Jesus’

teaching when he says we must love God first

then one another. We express this love by

honouring each other, building community, and

practising stewardship.

Come and tour our campus to explore our facilities

and culture and discover the possibilities at Regents

Park Christian School.

Our priority is the Lord Jesus Christ,

and that our students will know Him,

grow in Him and serve Him

to their full potential.

High test scores and rankings have

their place, but an RPCS education is

deeper than that. ‘No child held back,

and no child left behind’ is our guiding

principle. We cater for all students, no

Redeemer Baptist School is a Pre-Kindergarten

with easy access to public transport. The

School is committed to a Christian worldview

in education and renowned for its academic

standards. A comprehensive range of subjects

and extra-curricular activities is offered for all

ages, including vocational education options

in the Senior School.

Redeemer seeks to create a learning

environment which is thoughtful, free, sharing

and respectful rather than competitive, tense,

self-serving and fearful. The School is a

ministry of Redeemer Baptist Church. Staff are

members of the Ministry Order of the Church.

The sacrificial life of this religious community

forms a base for a teaching and learning

environment where people may discover

friendship, pray for each other, and help the

weakest. Individual learning is encouraged

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

without usurping the responsibility of care for

each other.

School Camps provide a range of adventures

as well as opportunity to reflect and

build community.

Our vision for Redeemer students is that they

will contribute to individuals and society in

good and strong ways. We hope that their

lives will be formed by the Christian virtues—

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

they will have seen in operation among those

who belong to Jesus at Redeemer.

The championship record of Redeemer

students in sport demonstrates skill, strength

and team spirit. Redeemer students have won

SWISSA soccer, netball, Oztag, swimming,

As an independent Orthodox co-educational

day school, All Saints Grammar students

enjoy opportunities not usually found in

Australian schools.

Located in Belmore in Sydney’s Inner South

education with strong foundations in

Hellenic culture at its PreKinder, Primary and

Secondary campuses. The School’s values

are grounded in the Christian values of the

Greek Orthodox faith, welcoming students

from many different faiths and backgrounds.

Our pillars – Faith, Excellence and Respect

– guide teaching and learning and are

embedded in the daily life of our school.

At All Saints Grammar, we prepare each

child for a global future – nurturing and

encouraging them to flourish and grow with

our Wellbeing For Learning approach, and

serve the world through our unique, holistic

and future-focused program. The School is

committed to helping families preserve and

pass on their heritage through a program,

which is firmly grounded in Hellenic culture

and Orthodox Christian faith.

The School’s vision places significance on

the holistic development of the student, and

the importance of student engagement in the

educational experience through the provision

of quality learning experiences.

For every child to reach their full learning

potential and achieve their goals, the School

offers academic enrichment to students

requiring support, extension or acceleration.

Our Learning Services staff oversee the

transition of students from Primary to

Secondary, recognising and supporting their

needs through close collaborations with

parents and teachers. Student progress is

monitored closely, with consistent classroom

support, one-on-one programs and small

group interventions offered. Our Gifted and

Talented staff understand the importance of

nurturing the gifts and abilities of extension

students to create self-confident learners

who remain engaged, are resilient and have

a strong mindset of self-efficacy. Extension

lessons across a range of subject areas are

offered to small groups, encouraging inquirybased

learning and critical thinking.

make sense of the world, their place and the

infinite possibilities

The pillars of wellbeing and learning,

underpinned by a firm Christian foundation

and a culture of excellence, are trademarks of

Danebank’s community of learners.

Danebank girls and young women are at the

heart of everything that we do; we’ve created

our unique learning environment with their

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

celebrate every girl.

Relationships, founded on trust and support,

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

for our whole community. We actively partner

with families and encourage your engagement

in your daughter’s learning.

Not just learning, but learning how to learn

Our holistic approach to learning and the

depth of our enriched learning and wellbeing

programs are reflected in remarkable academic

results. We develop the broader base of skills,

dispositions, habits of mind, values, attitudes

and character that our girls need to flourish.

Our girls are not just learning – they are

learning how to learn.

To ensure an engaging, forward-looking and

fully-rounded experience, we focus on five key

ways of learning:

• Reflective Learning: Students being willing

and able to become more strategic about

learning. Good learners are aware of how

their learning is going and are able to make

decisions accordingly.

• Wellbeing Learning: Supporting our learning

by knowing ourselves and having proven

strategies to build on our strengths and

improve our sense of wellbeing.

• Relational Learning: Being ready, willing

and able to learn alone and with others. The

ability to listen, take turns and understand the

viewpoints of others, even when you do not

immediately agree.

• Resourceful Learning: Resourceful learning

means having a strong repertoire of attitudes

and strategies for confronting the world when

it becomes strange or out of control.

• Faith and Character Learning: The foundation

of our Danebank community.

Wellbeing

A Danebank girl is inspired to be herself and to

explore who she is and who she wants to be.

Whether you dream of becoming a scientist, artist,

chef, lawyer, scholar, musician or an engineer,

Danebank nurtures you to get there.

As the first Anglican all girls school in NSW to

become a Visible Wellbeing Partner School,

Danebank supports girls, staff and our community

to develop the critical pathways to thrive.

We have an embedded, evidence-based,

multidimensional approach to wellbeing and

student care. This ensures that our students

flourish academically and are empowered to

achieve healthy wellbeing and future life success,

while making positive life choices.

Faith and Values

A member of the Anglican Schools Corporation

(TASC), Danebank provides an affordable education,

based on the Anglican reformed faith. As a Christian

school, we frame our planning and actions for each

girl in the contemporary world within the context of

the gospel of Jesus Christ. This is reflected in our

school values:

• Compassionate service

• Creative collaboration

• Respectful relationships

• Courageous optimism

• Personal excellence

• Loving kindness

• Taking responsibility

community, we are a school where every

Inaburra is, first and foremost, a learning

that students need more than just knowledge

and understanding to flourish today and into the

future. We have a strong commitment to student

welfare and are intentional about teaching

students to strengthen their sense of wellbeing.

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

I believe exists for the primary purpose of

assisting in supporting & developing my child

to be the best version of themselves that they

can be.” (Parent)

Inaburra has developed an excellent reputation

for its Creative and Performing Arts, world-class

teaching practice, excellence in its facilities, the

use of ICT for student learning and innovative

programs such as the Global Education Program.

We offer diverse learning spaces, designed to

both facilitate collaboration and give students

opportunities to be self-directed learners. Our

goal is to embrace the diversity in learning styles

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

future in which specific skills will be useful, but the capacity

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.

www.sbccdbb.catholic.edu.au

• Effective learning occurs when your students’

learning experiences are engaging, that is,

when your students are doing rather than

just listening

• In inquiry-based learning, students take on

more responsibility for identifying precisely

what they need to learn and finding

resources which will allow them to fill their

knowledge gaps

• Inquiry-based learning can help students

to develop their research skills as selfdirected

learners

• Students learn to identify and find answers

to the questions that they need to ask and

the resources that they need to draw upon in

solving problems (often a real world problem)

Boarding at Barker College

is a unique experience for

Senior students only and with a

maximum student population of

60, it is a tight-knit community.

The Barker experience attracts boarders

from the suburbs of Sydney through to

country regions of NSW and beyond.

The coeducational environment and

small boarder numbers allow for the

development of close peer relationships,

whilst also providing accessible academic

and personal mentoring opportunities.

During the Senior years, the boarding

environment has proven to be of benefit

to many students as they focus on their

academic program whilst maintaining a

busy but balanced life. The necessity to

develop independent-living skills and

resilience is supported by strong pastoral

care networks and programs.

WEB: www.kambala.nsw.edu.au

Overlooking the iconic

Sydney Harbour, Kambala

provides a family-style

boarding experience for

approximately 50 girls from

Years 7 - 12.

Boarders are accommodated at Fernbank

Boarding House, located adjacent to

the school, and all girls share rooms

except for Year 12 who have their own

accommodation. There are a number of

common rooms to encourage sisterhood

across the year groups.

Being close to the city, Bondi Junction

shopping hub, the eastern beaches and

the Harbour lends itself to exciting and

active weekend activities.

From the moment a boarder starts they are
