Fiona Green, principal at the school says "as another year in the life of our wonderful school has passed by, it was wonderful to celebrate all the outstanding achievements inside and outside our classrooms and acknowledge all who support what our boutique and unique school stands for".

Fiona says the school's ERO visit affirmed that "this is a very special place to grow as a teenage girl, and identified that our students participate and learn in caring, inclusive and collaborative environments, both in the day school and the boarding house".

The school was grateful to family and friends for supporting "all that as a school we stand for, and working with us as partners to grow gorgeous women".
