The school population also includes a “thriving” community of international pupils.

School fee packages range from $7900 a year for prep, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils through to more than $11,200 a year for students in Year 12.

Fees are discounted for families with more than one child enrolled at the college.

A statement on the college’s website says its students enjoy “impressive success in all areas of academics, sporting and cultural pursuits”.

“But it is the ‘spirit’ of our community that truly sets us apart from other schools,” the statement says.

“We strive to develop students who are full of character, who are empowered to reach their full potential, and who live their lives as responsible global and local citizens.”

St Stephens has also developed strong ties to numerous sister schools including Okayama Gakugeikan in Japan, US campus The Harker School and the Tsion Mariam School in Ethiopia.

The school and its students have enjoyed a string of successes in academic, sporting and cultural pursuits, with the college working to transform itself into a leader in “technology-enhanced learning’’ in the past few years.
