The holistic education grows from the inquiry-based learning of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Program (PYP) in our Junior School, to the wide choice of subjects offered in our award-winning VCE College. The curriculum includes debating, dance, drama, music, visual arts, Duke of Edinburgh, volunteering, leadership training, and a formal careers program, all within a technology-rich environment. Strong community alliances provide many opportunities, from water skills with Mentone Life Saving Club, to quality competition through Girls Sport Victoria.
