About Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar School

Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School, which celebrated 110 years in 2013, provides outstanding learning opportunities tailored to the specific needs of students from Kindergarten to Year 12. Our Early Learning Centre, with Kindergarten and Pre-Prep programs, provides girls with a range of opportunities that promote creativity, learning, caring relationships and a positive self-concept.

Our Junior School, which is housed in a series of purpose-renovated Federation houses, encompasses a curriculum that is innovative and rich, providing experiences that are carefully planned to meet each girl’s learning style and stage of development from Prep to Year 6. We provide a broad and challenging core curriculum that recognises the central importance of literacy and numeracy while providing diverse cocurricular opportunities. We place a strong focus on the social and emotional wellbeing of each individual.

The girls’ entry to their secondary years is underpinned by a strong pastoral focus. Each girl is placed in a small and supportive tutor group which provides the basis for girls to take on new challenges and extend their confidence and skills. Their horizons are deliberately stretched by a broad and comprehensive curriculum, which ensures each girl develops skills and knowledge in all learning areas, while also helping her to begin to identify where her interests and strengths lie.

Ivanhoe Girls’ is proud of our culture of encouraging girls to take personal responsibility, where adolescent girls will naturally test the boundaries but are helped to reflect on their actions, and to grow from them, in an affirming and supportive environment of high expectations, free from a punitive culture.

The school has outstanding facilities to support quality teaching and learning, including a state-of-the-art library, an art and hospitality complex, an indoor pool and gymnasium, sports fields, well-equipped science laboratories, a Performing Arts Centre and computer rooms — all set in beautiful grounds. The use of ICT is integrated throughout the school, thereby providing students with the skills to flourish in a technology rich world.

Ivanhoe Girls’ proudly sets expectations for every girl to strive for her personal best, academically andsocially, while actively supporting the girls in achieving this.
