At the Diocesan School for Girls, we are passionate about empowering girls with the competencies and character they may require to achieve their dreams and contribute to their local and global communities as 21st century women. We prioritise staying abreast of the latest research on innovative education, but we also draw on the practical wisdom gained from a century and a half of institutional experience. DSG provides a safe, inclusive environment where girls can fearlessly follow their curiosity and learn through discovery and critical thinking and even risk failure with no judgement and only learning as a consequence. Therefore, we encourage girls to explore the full range of opportunities in academics, sports, the arts, culture, the outdoors, community engagement, travel and leadership. Our classrooms, stages, sports fields, boarding houses, Chapel and The Monastery outdoor centre are among the vibrant spaces where highly qualified staff work tirelessly to bring out the best in every individual. Here the girls learn about the value of hard work, perseverance, collaboration, sustainability, social justice and delayed gratification. There is something magical about the lifestyle on the DSG campus, probably thanks to the historic architecture, leafy gardens and peaceful smalltown landscape surrounding it. Full-time boarding enables DSG girls to be astonishingly productive and fully immersed in school life. They learn to appreciate the rich diversity of their peers, which builds resilience and strengthens values of respect, humility, compassion and friendship. Such a busy school life can take its toll and girls are therefore monitored and supported by a Wellness Team that includes the resident pastoral staff in every house, Chaplain, San sisters, educational psychologist and biokineticist. We are proud to be custodians of our unique heritage while extending the legacy of the DSG through inclusive, future-minded education, in keeping with our motto ‘En Avant!’.
