2018 has continued the trend of exceptional individual results across all subjects. Our girls are encouraged to pursue subjects they enjoy and in which they feel they have a talent. They are also encouraged to pursue rigorous courses, according to their strengths. The breadth and depth of their achievement and the powerful contribution these choices have made to the girls’ ATARs is a testament to the value of this approach.
