SCEGGS is a unique school in the heart of Australia's busiest city, with a small population of 900 students from Kindergarten to Year 12. It is not an academically selective school but it achieves outstanding academic results. Our students learn, not only the curriculum, but to feel comfortable within themselves, sure of their strengths and able to work as independent, confident and articulate members of the community. The school emphasises the worth of the individual, personal integrity and social responsibility. SCEGGS girls stand out. They value individuality and independence of mind. Our school is small enough to be a safe and friendly environment where each girl feels known, valued and nurtured, yet large enough to provide depth across a range of programs. SCEGGS girls are "savvy" and certainly at ease in a city environment. SCEGGS has a reputation for excellence. We are renowned for our academic success in examinations, challenging curriculum and broad range of co-curricular activities. The Christian faith and its values underpin all that we do at SCEGGS. In religious education questioning, debate, research and inquiry are conducted in an open environment. Girls are given the freedom to explore their spirituality and to come up with their own answers. Because our students see aspects of real disadvantage within the community around us, we are able to encourage our girls to live their lives with compassion, courage and a determination to benefit society. SCEGGS girls understand something of life's complexities. Our talented staff are the heart of everything SCEGGS has achieved. We attract and maintain the highest quality staff to deliver an outstanding education to our girls. We value the development of accomplished, confident well-rounded young women. We strive to achieve excellence in all areas – academic, co-curriculum, social justice and pastoral care, emotional and spiritual development.
