About us

Abbotsleigh is a Pre K to Year 12 day and Year 7-12 boarding school for girls, with a reputation for excellence for more than 125 years. It is an Independent Anglican school.

Each girl is encouraged to develop her potential in a caring Christian environment by fostering her pursuit of personal and academic excellence. By providing a broad, well balanced education the School helps each girl to develop both independence and interdependence, an appreciation of diversity and a philosophy of life which will enable her to be a courageous, constructive and compassionate world citizen with a will to serve.

Early learning

In 2010, Abbotsleigh extended its educational offerings to earlier years. Our Early Learning Centre is a warm and inviting space for boys and girls up to five years of age, while our Transition class is specially designed for girls aged four. Both the ELC and Transition class are based on the Woonona Avenue campus.

Environment

The Junior School has undergone a major transformation. The campus now has light filled, flexible learning spaces with ready access to technology. There is also a specialist art centre featuring a stimulating, purpose built space with a comfortable mezzanine area for art appreciation and computer assisted design. The Junior School also features a well resourced library, assembly hall, computer lab, music centre, drama facilities, science room, play areas, tennis courts and a swimming pool.

Outside the classroom

There are a range of activities in which girls can participate outside the classroom. These range from musical ensembles and choirs, to clubs and sport. Clubs cover such areas as debating, environment, robotics, service, Tournament of Minds and a student newspaper. Sports offered throughout the year include football (Years 4-6), minkey (Year 4 and 5) and hockey (Year 6), netball (Years 4-6) and tennis (Years 5-6).
