A Private or Independent school for girls, in Grades 000 to 12. The School has very high Ethos of Teaching and Beliefs: "We are called to challenge the minds, feed the souls, fire the maginations and train the bodies of the girls and young women who are entrusted to us. Our school is the place where we grow their capacity for mutual and self-respect."
They prepare their Girls:" To learn and develop confidently, to build key knowledge frameworks that will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives, to play passionately and to give generously of themselves to each other and to the wider Community". Providing opportunities that build character and encourage self-sufficiency. It is our mission to assist our Girls to open themselves up to all possibilities, to explore their unique potentials and to identify their distinctive and various abilities so that they can become their best selves. We call it ‘unlocking potential and building brilliance’ and believe that each young girl has her own measure of brilliance that needs to be unleashed for her to lead a happy and fulfilling life."
