As the early weeks of this new year unfold, it has been wonderful to see our girls return to campus. In particular, we have shared the excitement of our youngest learners as they start their time in our beautiful new Early Learning Centre.

The beginning of any academic year is a time of anticipation and excitement for every student and their families. It is a joy to see our new girls finding their place and making connections, already establishing their part in our school's story and embracing new opportunities alongside our continuing students.

This year, our Year 12 students have embraced their roles as leaders within our school community with remarkable grace and determination. We made time to acknowledge this in our Year 12 Dedication Service earlier this week. Their journey through the years has prepared them for this moment, where they not only focus on their studies but also serve as mentors and role models for our younger students. Watching them lead with compassion, integrity and a sense of purpose is a reminder of the impact of our collective efforts in guiding them through their school years.

As we look forward, we also take a moment to look back and celebrate the achievements of our most recent graduates from the Class of 2023. Devika Mukherjee has been awarded the Tennyson Medal, which honours the top student for English Literary Studies in the SACE graduating class, and Allegra Kleinig has received the Australian Institute of Physics Bronze Bragg Medal for the highest result in SACE Stage 2 Physics. We are so proud of these girls for their remarkable accomplishments.

Our school is more than just a place of learning. It is a community where every beginning, every transition and every achievement is celebrated. I am grateful to be part of this journey with you all.

Road Safety

A reminder to please take extra care when dropping off and picking up students. We particularly request that parents do not double park or attempt U-turns on Hawkers Road, or other roads near the School, to prioritise the safety of both pedestrians and other vehicles. We hope all parents will model responsible road safety and show respect to our girls, parents and staff.

Please also remind your daughters to be vigilant when crossing Hawkers Road or Northcote Terrace to access the school grounds – to look up from their phones and remove their headphones/ear buds before crossing the road – to avoid distraction from their surroundings and potential danger.

Thank you for helping to keep our community safe.
