A child’s learning environment impacts their view of themselves and their place in the world, which is why we strive to create a safe and supportive space where our girls have the opportunity and the drive to try new things, discover their talents, and develop a strong sense of self and the confidence that
will enable them to strive for their goals, regardless of the environment they find themselves in or its gender makeup.

In The Age and Sydney Morning Herald, Principal, Mrs Marise McConaghy discusses how to best prepare our students for their futures.

Girls studying at single-sex schools are more confident and mentally tough than those from co-ed schools, a study says. Here’s why.

The events of the last year have put leaders from all industries under the spotlight, providing plenty of examples of both poor and best practice for the world to analyse. And while a global pandemic is an extraordinary event, crises and situations of extreme stress and pressure generally do reveal a lot about a person’s capacity for leadership. Leaders and organisations that have responded well are those that have stayed true to their values and mission and used these as a compass when the landscape continued to shift and change.

Prep, and years 4, 7 and 9 are developmental ‘leap’ years for kids, writes Marise McConaghy. She provides tips for parents to support their children during these formative stages.

Teenage girls attending single-sex schools have coped better than most throughout the pandemic, with a national survey ­revealing above-average levels of life satisfaction, happiness and confidence in the future.

This year, Strathcona will expand independent learning for the senior school, giving girls the chance to use extra time for activities including study groups, meetings with teachers and extra tutorials.
