The statistics certainly bear that out. Lauriston consistently ranks in the top schools in Victoria for Year 12 results

However, we believe it’s our combination of best practice teaching, an innovative curriculum and support structures that help each student improve over time that sets our girls up for academic success. 

We’re also committed to building a young woman’s character.  

From explicitly teaching social skills in our wellbeing programs and encouraging our students to participate fully in co-curricular activities, to challenging them through our unique Howqua Year 9 program we expect our girls to persevere when things get difficult, right wrongs and contribute to an ever changing world. 

We’re asked this question often and it’s something we’re passionate about. Research proves that girls thrive in an all-girls environment. They do better academically, socially and emotionally. 
 
At Lauriston, every aspect of teaching and learning is tailored to the needs of girls, developing their confidence and empowering them to pursue any direction their talents lead them. 
 
You can read research and articles about the benefits of an all-girls education for your daughter on the The Girl’s Advantage page on our website.

At Lauriston we understand that learning doesn’t occur without wellbeing. So we work hard to ensure academic success by hiring supportive teachers who are invested in our students and explicitly teach them how to be resilient, connect with their peers, and contribute to the community where they live and learn. 

This educational philosophy is implemented in every year, but it’s most  prominently displayed during our unique Year 9 program when students live on our Howqua campus in the Victorian High Country.  

There, they undertake a full academic curriculum as well as learning how to live together in a tight-knit community and support each other through a challenging outdoor program.
