Girls Grammar encourages your daughter to reflect thoughtfully, express her opinions and value the contribution of others. Every student in Years 4 to 12 is a member of a Student Committee or Council, which run events and raise important issues. Year 12 Prefects, elected by students, lead these committees and ensure that all students have opportunities to make a difference.

Numeracy programs from Prep are engaging and reinforcing. Skilled mathematical presenters and educators visit our school to enrich learning through real-world applications. Each student’s progress in P-12 is monitored and teachers apply strategies, which cater for the learning needs of every student.

Literacy is a cornerstone of Girls Grammar. Each primary school day encompasses one and half hours of focused literacy development aligned with the Australian National Curriculum embedded in Internationally Acclaimed Literacy Programs. Students are regularly engaged with imaginative, informative and persuasive texts in the areas of reading, structural writing and persuasive processes. Literacy skills in P-10 are mapped and tracked using a Diagnostic Reading Assessment.

Girls Grammar has seamless wireless infrastructure and Information Technology is integrated into all aspects of curriculum. Every student in Years 4 to 12 receives a fully equipped personal computer to support her learning. Cyber safety is a priority with 24 hour filtering and network monitoring.

Girls Grammar staff are highly motivated with a passion for teaching, high expectations of learners and a deep commitment to student wellbeing. Girls Grammar staff embrace a professional learning program that enables peer sharing; ensures student feedback, facilitates lesson observations and promotes reflective practice.
