Lara Ciesiolka, Year 12

A typical day starts with breakfast followed by sport training, academic support or just taking the opportunity for a walk on the oval with friends.

After school, we can pursue a range of activities, from sport or learning to cook, to games with our year group.

At dinner, we dine together at mixed year group tables, which allows everyone to get to know each other and further helps to create and build a strong sense of community. Some dinners are themed, such as Christmas or the Melbourne Cup dinner, with the best costumes or best table dress-ups winning a prize.

Study time is extremely well supported and we have access to onsite tutors and teaching staff, as well as all the other girls in my year group.

Before bed, we all spend time together talking, watching movies or just relaxing.
