St Aidan's Anglican Girls School Senior School (Year 7-12)
St Aidan's is a Prep to Year 12 Anglican day school for girls, with a
co-educational Kindergarten. Located in Corinda, with a population of
approximately 800 students, reflecting our belief that students experience many
benefits in a smaller school.
Senior School (Year 7-12)
St Aidan’s Anglican Girls’ School aims to
produce confident and able young women who approach their studies, their sport
and cultural pursuits with conviction and a sense of purpose.
The Senior School is an exciting, embracing
community of learners. When students join the Senior School they immediately
become part of the family – the atmosphere contributes to all girls feeling
connected, to one another and to the School. Parents are valued participants in
the School’s operation – contributing in many ways to the success of our
programs, and working together with the School in addressing the issues and
challenges that sometimes face our students on their journey through
adolescence.
From these early days, the understanding is
that our students will take responsibility for their actions and learning. The
strong network of professionals – experienced, dynamic teachers, qualified and
caring Year Coordinators and Student Counsellor together with a strong Pastoral
Care Team – addresses the needs of the students at each year level.
The values and tradition of the Sisters of
the Society of the Sacred Advent permeate life in the Senior School. Students
have many opportunities to engage in Community Service and contribute their time
and talents for the benefit of others – whether it is in the local area or as
far away as Vietnam, as part of the Antipodean’s Challenge. Senior School
students participate in the active Interact Club, as well as Global Shield.
Studies in Religious and Values Education at each year level contribute to the
development and growth in our students’ spirituality.
The curricula, co-curricula and
extra-curricula programs of the Senior School ensure that the students actively
engage in their learning, setting their goals and striving to achieve them.
Through the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) program, our girls develop self
and social awareness, which contributes to sensible, informed decision making
and positive problem solving.
The aim of all endeavours at St Aidan’s
Senior School is to assist students realise their potential and exit the School
feeling successful and happy, with the confidence to face the future with hope
and optimism.
St Aidan’s was established in 1929 by the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred
Advent – an order of Anglican sisters committed to serving God through nurturing
and serving young women.
On day one, Sister Elisabeth was Sister-in-Charge at St Margaret’s, and Mrs
Christine Hartland was Headmistress at St Aidan’s. They both upheld the view
that education for girls needed to equip them for life. To this day, the
school’s mission remains the same: to encourage confidence and success in
students through pursuit of their academic, sporting, cultural and community
pursuits within a caring environment.
Our Vision

learner-centred community.

Our focus is to develop and promote authentic, caring, confident, creative and
connected women who value reason, imagination, truth, compassion and
