Ruyton aspires to give each girl an opportunity to learn and grow so that she achieves educational excellence and personal fulfilment. Ruyton seeks to provide a supportive environment enabling its girls to demonstrate that:
• As individuals they are confident, resourceful and resilient
• As learners they are intellectually curious, versatile and can work both independently and collaboratively
• As members of the community they practise tolerance and compassion
• As leaders they act with integrity, self assurance, initiative and an awareness of the value of service
• And as citizens they are enterprising, creative and have a commitment to community service, sustainability and a global society.
The size of Ruyton makes it possible for each girl to be acknowledged and valued and for her individual needs to be supported. At Ruyton there is a sense of belonging to a community where teachers, girls and their families work together and value each other. Self-esteem and confidence are fundamental to each girl’s personal, social and academic success. |

Ruyton recognises the importance of providing the best possible learning environment for its students and staff. There are two new state-of-the-art learning centres: a Library Resource Centre (IT/library facilities, theatrette, screening room and drama studio) and the Prue Gillies Building (art, craftc, photography, general classrooms and the Year 12 Centre – The Penthouse).
In 2008, an exciting Aquatic Centre opened to complete a comprehensive Physical Education, Health & Wellbeing facility.
In 2011, our Junior School Centre for Creativity will open. Here, all our Junior School girls will experience a creativity-based education as the focus of their 21st Century learning. |

As the top independent girls' school in 2008 and 2009, Ruyton’s results are exceptional and consistent. In 2011, 46% of girls received ATAR scores of 90 and above, with eight perfect study scores of 50.
The National Trust-listed Henty House, set in landscaped gardens, provides a beautiful and gracious backdrop to our lively and active campus. Our ELC, Junior and Senior Schools are linked together on the same site, creating a strong sense of collective and community spirit across every Year Level.
