who we are

Situated in a central city location adjacent to the Albert Park Lake, the school offers outstanding facilities for the delivery of its programs and is attended by students from metropolitan Melbourne and beyond.

The selective nature of entry results in a broad socio-economic and cultural mix of students with a strong commitment to academic excellence. The school provides an educational experience that equips girls and gender diverse young people for tertiary study and leadership roles in a range of fields and industries, and develops interests and skills to enhance their personal lives. 

The school changes the lives of young people by providing a learning community that fosters a strong sense of belonging, outstanding engagement and self regulation, and a love of challenge and enrichment. 

There are two senior certificates available for students to choose from - the Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) and the International Baccalaureate (IB). Each year 100% of students head off to tertiary education in a course of choice.

The strong, positive culture is underpinned by our four core values.
