Education
Benefits of Co-Education Society is not single gender, but a rich interaction of different identities, personalities and culture. Co-education brings that mix together to provide a learning environment that authentically represents the world in which we live.
Building respect
A co-educational environment provides all children with a strong foundation for building respectful social and professional relationships. Working in close collaboration, children have opportunity to observe similarities and differences in learning styles, behaviours and social connections, which can help to cultivate a mutual respect and understanding for each other. As children progress through their school years, they will experience sports carnivals, school theatre presentations, outdoor education camps and share learning and recreational spaces. These shared experiences help children develop a respect for different strengths, weaknesses, and inherent skills, giving everyone equal chance to shine, learn, or exhibit humility in turn.
