Why choose a girls’ school?

At Kelston Girls' College, we don’t just educate girls; we provide an environment specifically designed for them to thrive.

Research consistently shows that in an all-girls setting, girls take centre stage, occupying every leadership role, every seat in the lab, and every position on the field.

Proven Academic Excellence

Girls' schools are high-achievement zones. In Australia and New Zealand, PISA data confirms that girls in single-sex schools outperform their co-educated peers in science, mathematics, and literacy. 

  • STEM Success: Graduates from girls' schools are 6 times more likely to pursue specialisations in maths, science, and technology.

  • Unrivalled Confidence: Research proves that the gender confidence gap disappears in girls' schools. Our students graduate with the same levels of self-assurance as boys from all-boys schools.

A Nurturing & Safe Environment

Well-being is the foundation of learning. In a girls' school, students report significantly stronger feelings of belonging and a much lower prevalence of bullying.

  • Body Image & Self-Esteem: Studies show that girls in all-girls schools experience lower pressure regarding body image and higher overall self-esteem than those in co-educational settings.

  • Strong voices: 87% of girls' school students feel their voices and opinions are respected, enabling them to practice advocating for themselves before entering the wider world.

Empowering Future Leaders

Girls' schools produce leaders. Our students are more likely to:

  • Engage in community social action and volunteer work.

  • Lead with courage, competence, and cultural empathy.

  • Plan to vote and participate actively in political and environmental affairs.

In a girls' school, there are no glass ceilings - only opportunities.
