Overview
Queenwood
is a Kindergarten-Year 12 non-selective day school of 900 girls offering dual
HSC and IB pathways.
Introduction from the Principal
A rigorous academic
curriculum within a balanced program of activities has been the hallmark of a
Queenwood education for over 90 years.
Within a strong learning
community, we create space for our girls to engage with big ideas and connect
with a diverse range of people and
communities. The result is a contemporary liberal education designed to form
young women equipped and motivated to make a difference.
How
do we do this?
Firstly,
we are a community that comes together for the purpose of serious study. We
strive for outstanding results, but examinations should never overshadow the
more important objective of developing flexible, disciplined and creative
minds. Our wide offering outside the classroom provides extensive opportunities
for each girl to develop the personal qualities essential to her adult life.
Whatever her tastes and talents, there should be an arena in which she can
forge resilience, tolerance and generosity.
Our
examination results are consistently excellent in both the Higher School
Certificate (HSC) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) and our graduates go
on to world-class universities across Australia and around the globe. Our
commitment to the life of the mind, however, reaches far beyond the examination
syllabus.
Through
participation in music, sport, drama, the arts, debating, outdoor education and
a multitude of other activities, girls acquire skills and habits that last a
lifetime: teamwork, self-discipline, courage, respect, independence, confidence
and self-knowledge.
Our
rich program of activities creates some of the deepest learning and happiest
moments. We value our girls not for what they achieve, but for who they are.
In
her time at Queenwood, your daughter is likely to change more quickly than at
any other time in her life, and being entrusted with her education is a
privilege and opportunity that we appreciate at its full value.
