Why choose a girls' school?

Girls' schools are 'can do' environments:

• In girls' schools, girls see strong female role models, and understand that they too can achieve successful outcomes from their own efforts
• Girls in girls' schools achieve significantly stronger academic results than any other group in Australia
• All the leadership roles are filled by girls
• All activities are open to girls: they participate, influence and lead for genuine achievement
• In an all-girl classroom, girls take on all the roles in the group, providing an atmosphere where students take the risks necessary
• Girls thrive and excel in collaborative teams
• Teachers can match their teaching to the way girls learn and develop their courses to suit girls' needs
• Girls can work through the challenges of adolescence without fear of embarrassment or harassment
• Girls can develop their relationships in a supportive environment
• There is no obstacle preventing girls from exploring a career in any area
• Girls' achievements are celebrated
• Girl-centred learning leaves no doubt as to who receives the teacher's full attention, or who will be taking maths, science, and technology classes
• There is a greater sense of connectedness - listening, helping and accepting others' points of view
