Our girls study a wide curriculum that encourages them to be creative and critical thinkers.
In Year 7, students learn Robotics, Textiles, Food Technology, Languages, Drama, Visual Arts, and Music as well as the core curriculum areas. This provides the girls with an essential foundation for their Year 8 studies which includes Musical Theatre, Food and Nutrition, App Development, Robotics, Design and Construction, Languages, Music, Drama, Visual Arts and Textile Technology. In addition, girls can choose to enter a specialist Netball or AFLW Program as part of the curriculum, developing expertise in their chosen sport as well as an understanding of biomechanics, nutrition, coaching, and umpiring.
In Year 9, students again broaden their learning through a number of courses including specialist Netball or AFLW, Musical Theatre, Music, Drama, Global Cuisine, Patisserie Academy, Fashion Design and Construction, Photography and Digital Media, Artificial Intelligence, Visual Arts, and Languages. Year 9 students also undertake the Futures Project, a specially designed program that provides an opportunity for girls to learn and develop skills in the areas of research, design thinking, innovation, technology, entrepreneurialism, and social justice.
Year 10 students have greater choice and flexibility in the design of their studies, including a number of STEM courses such as Biochemistry, Engineering, Environmental Science, Health Science, Graphic Design, Coding, Fashion Design and Construction, Food and Hospitality, and Specialist Physical Education. Year 10 students can also elect to undertake further study in the Humanities through History: People and Power and Innovation in a Global Economy. Students can also continue with the study of Languages, Music, Drama, and Visual Arts.
In Years 11 and 12 the curriculum is delivered through the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE). Our Year 12 students consistently accomplish exceptional results and a significant number of girls achieve SACE Merits across a broad range of subjects. Likewise, in the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR), Year 12 students achieve outstanding results with approximately fifty percent of girls performing in the top ten percent of the state.
We encourage you to see how your daughter’s future can take shape at one of our upcoming College Tours where you will see our curriculum in action, tour our historic grounds, and hear from Dr Nicole Archard, our Principal and leader in girls’ education on why a girls’ school is the best investment for your daughter.
