An all-girls senior school also provides our students with access to a range of programs and initiatives that are tailored to their unique needs and interests. This includes our well-being program, which focuses on promoting resilience, emotional intelligence, and respectful relationships. Our students are equipped with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in a complex and changing world.

Benefits of a Girls Senior School

NEGS is proud to be a girls’ senior school that nurtures each student within a supportive rural environment. Our unique setting addresses rural-specific issues, keeping girls active, focused, and engaged. We believe single-sex education best supports girls, offering a space where their voices are valued, and individual growth is prioritised.

Girls’ schools specialise in girls’ education. Here are some of the many benefits of choosing a single-sex school for your daughter in her senior years:

Unmatched Academic Achievement

Girls in single-sex girls’ schools achieve significantly strong academic results. Without the competition from boys, girls are free to pursue academic excellence and each achievement is celebrated.

Role Models and Leadership

All leadership roles in girls’ schools are filled by girls: from the captain of the hockey team to the SRC leaders to the Head Prefect; from singing at Assembly to the main part in the school play or musical; and from student leadership groups to the leaders of every school club. Younger students see these female leaders as role models and learn that girls can lead in any field.

A Tailored Curriculum

Girls’ education is a specialised field. Teachers tailor their pedagogy for the girls. This means that students are more likely to be engaged with the content and the methods used in each subject. Girls are free to participate in class without the teacher’s attention being dominated by boys.

Countless Opportunities

Girls at girls’ schools enjoy a vast range of opportunities where they can decide to be involved with some activities or all activities. All activities are open to girls: they participate, influence and lead. There is no gender stereotyping with subject selection. Girls are able and encouraged to explore a career or future in any area.

Counteracting Negative Influences

Girls can work through the challenges of adolescence without fear of embarrassment or harassment. Many single-sex girls’ schools run specific programs that focus on the wellbeing of girls, particularly in relation to the issues in society that constantly confront them. Educators in girls’ schools believe strongly in helping girls to accept and be comfortable with ‘who they are.’

Global Citizens

Girls’ schools prepare students to be citizens of the world, using rapidly developing technology and forming connections with girls in other countries. There is an emphasis on social justice and community as girls are encouraged to make connections with others outside the classroom walls. NEGS has a strong commitment to the Round Square organisation.
