Vision & values

Our vision is that Wenonians will be

"women of spirit who are well-educated, independent, self motivated and responsible; who have the confidence and flexibility to achieve personal success; and who see unlimited horizons for themselves".

To achieve this, Wenona aims to:

• create an environment which sets the highest possible standards - academic, pastoral, social, sporting and cultural
• attract, develop and retain outstanding educators
• provide the necessary physical and educational resources to enable Wenonians to compete on equal terms with their peers
• be progressive and innovative in education and be recognised as a leader in the field
• uphold traditional values of tolerance, respect and responsibility so that Wenonians develop a strong sense of service to society
• nurture a sense of community so that Wenonians value the continuation of personal relationships forged at school.

Our Goals

Wenona is committed to the best in education for girls. We are committed to understanding and meeting the differing needs of each girl in each phase of her development - from childhood, through adolescence, to young womanhood. As girls journey through the Junior School, Middle School and Senior College, they participate in programs that foster a love of learning, encourage socially acceptable risk-taking, and develop confidence and independence, ready to face the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

We seek to give each girl a lifelong love of learning. In an environment committed to academic excellence, each girl is helped to achieve her individual potential. She is encouraged to choose from a wide range of curricular and co-curricular activities, within and outside the classroom. Our objective is to ensure that girls are truly engaged and feel connected, and that they share the responsibility in responding to opportunities to do their best.

Inspiring a girl to live her life with integrity, purpose and consideration for others is a shared responsibility between parents, the School and the girl. Each girl’s success depends on this partnership, and we want the partnership to be a strong and effective one.

At Wenona, every girl knows she is an important member of our school family. We work with her, and with you, so that she can develop her full potential with a positive attitude to herself and to life’s joys and challenges. We welcome students from all faiths, cultures and countries, and at Wenona the academic and pastoral care and learning go hand in hand.

We strive to make each girl’s journey of education stimulating, enjoyable, meaningful and relevant. From her first day at Wenona, your daughter will be in an environment where she is valued as a person and her contribution celebrated.

When she leaves us, she will know that achievement and leadership by women are natural and to be expected. She will be able to compete confidently and succeed anywhere in the world.
