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
