From the Principal

Schools are organic; they are living places of people and plans, projects and programs.

St Aidan’s continues to evolve as we deliver world-class education, which grows our students’ understanding that, in order to create a caring, creative, and connected community, we must be involved. Since 1929, St Aidan’s has unashamedly held to our Christian values and heritage as the source of purpose in educating the whole girl, for the whole of life. We expect everyone to reach their potential and we provide the opportunity to pursue personal aspirations so that they may truly flourish.

St Aidan’s has been doing this for nearly 95 years and we intend to continue to do so well into the future.

Just like an architect’s plans, or a designer’s drawings, this edition of the Blueprint contains the record of knowledge that is needed to continue to build or make something. When we build a strong foundation, we are positioned to face the future with confidence.

The Blueprint provides the platform for our school leaders to share our programs of action, the building of our school, mapped against our school’s vision, values and strategic pillars. At St Aidan’s, we build excellence in education, ensuring that each individual student is nurtured within a vibrant learning environment, and that she has the opportunity to realise her aspirations.

St Aidan’s focus is to develop and promote authentic, caring, confident, creative and connected women who value reason, imagination, truth, compassion and responsibility. The values of the Society of the Sacred Advent; humility, courage, compassion, resilience, faithfulness and whole-heartedness inform our daily school life. It is my hope that you will discover these learner attributes, values, and beliefs, woven into the stories of achievement and progress highlighted within the Blueprint.
