The structure of the school is important as it maximises the opportunity for inspired learning. It has been developed to support the students both academically and spiritually.
The school is made up of four clusters namely the Early Learning Centre to Year 4, Years 5 to 8, Year 9 and Years 10-12. The structure was implemented after an extensive research program into the needs of the girls, their learning patterns and characteristics by specific age groups. Students range from 3 to
18 years of age.
The key benefits of the structure include effective management of age specific issues and the retention of defined classes. It offers the flexibility of academic extension or additional assistance if required and where appropriate. The identification of Year 9 as a separate cluster recognises the special requirements these students have in their time of exploration and challenge.
The cluster system works in tandem with the house system to assist in ensuring the spiritual well being of each student.
There are four houses at Kilvington, Barrett, Burman, Fethers and Fysh which have all been named after important people in the history of the school. As a member of a house students feel part of a team and experience a sense of belonging which spans across all age groups. Exposure to older role models within the school also has a positive effect. Importantly student welfare is coordinated by one House Dean for the entire time the student spends at the school thus ensuring consistency of care.
