Meet the Principal
With over 25 years in education, and most of those as a parent, I understand the importance of choosing the right school for your child. As a compassionate and student-centred leader, I am proud to lead this vibrant community. Together, we foster a nurturing and innovative environment where every young person feels valued, empowered, and prepared to become confident, resilient, and future-ready individuals, ready for life beyond school.

Community
While our staff and students come from far and wide, they come together with a true sense of pride and belonging – both in themselves and their school. This ensures our future leaders are part of a community that fosters a culture of learning, support and acceptance.
Curiosity
By encouraging young people’s natural curiosities, and granting independence and opportunities to share, we stimulate their thirst for exploration and knowledge. With this sense of wonder ignited, their only limits are the bounds of the imagination.
Excellence
When we look to young people we see boundless potential. By instilling in them the feeling of limitlessness, we broaden the realms of academic possibility. Because we are looking at more than results, we are looking at how we can better Adelaide, South Australia and each other.
Architecture / Built Form
Honouring the foundations of the past, we’ve taken the best of today and built upwards. Long before the first plan was drawn, we asked: how can our school building create dynamic learning for every student? The answer: a meticulously researched, purpose-built environment where the architecture informs and enhances every child’s learning experience.
Location
No need for excursions. Just step outside to explore beautiful gardens, museums, Adelaide Zoo and the State Library of South Australia. From the heart of Adelaide’s cultural, education and business precinct, our students will learn as members of an inspiring community of creatives, entrepreneurs and visionary thinkers.
