The Organisation
Queenwood was established as an independent, non-denominational Christian school in 1925. Its founders were women who were dedicated to the education of girls and young women, and equipping them for effective, purposeful and fulfilling lives. The School's motto, Per aspera ad astra (Through struggles to the stars), encapsulates our conviction that which is worthwhile is only achieved through courage, hard work and patience.
Today Queenwood offers a rigorous academic curriculum K-Year 12, within a broad and balanced program of co-curricular activities. With around 300 students in the Junior School, and approximately 100 students per year in the Senior School, it provides a broad range of subjects and programs in a personalised environment, where each girl is individually known. Queenwood students consistently excel in both their academic pursuits, as demonstrated by their strong public examination results, and in a wide array of co-curricular activities.
The International Baccalaureate Diploma Program and the Higher School Certificate are offered as parallel pathways in Years 11 and 12. The IB credential embodies a particular educational philosophy and is widely recognised internationally. Queenwood students have historically performed exceptionally well, and girls are entirely free to choose the pathway which suits their interests and ambitions.
Queenwood has a strong commitment to character education, pastoral care and well-being of its students, and a range of tutoring, peer mentoring and personal development programs to support this. We prepare young women to lead with vision and make a meaningful impact in the world.
