About our school

Our shared vision of the young women educated at Beverly Hills Girls High is that they will:

Have developed a lifelong appreciation of and commitment to learning.
Have respect for themselves and others, be confident and self-motivated and be able to communicate effectively.
Be socially responsible and actively participate in strengthening and preserving our democratic community; and
Meet the future filled with hope.

To uphold and foster the belief that WOMEN CAN DO ANYTHING, our school community is committed to:

A comprehensive, responsive and dynamic curriculum which is challenging and appropriate for the developmental needs of each student.
A caring environment that encourages motivation, self-discipline and confidence through individual and cooperative endeavours.
Professional growth of staff to respond effectively to the challenges of education in the 21^st Century.
Partnerships in learning with the parents/caregivers of our students and key community stakeholders; and
Effective and efficient school management that ensures equitable access to appropriate programs, resources and opportunities for all students.

All students have a right to a quality education.
Education impacts upon a student’s life directions, choices, opportunities and outcomes – learning is a lifelong endeavour.
Relative to their individual talents and abilities, every child can learn and succeed.

Our teachers maximise STUDENT ENGAGEMENT in learning by:

Maintaining an inclusive, supportive and nurturing learning environment.
Knowing each student as an individual and valuing their efforts as learners.
Modelling hard work, commitment and the pursuit of excellence.
Committing to personal professional learning goals that develop their understanding of strategies, approaches and resources that promote student learning in the 21^st century.
Modelling ethical and professional interactions with colleagues to enhance student understanding of cooperation, team work and appropriate conduct in learning.
Building trust and confidence of students by making clear the expected learning outcomes for each lesson or unit of study.
Encouraging student self-reflection on their learning progress and supporting them to improve.
Explicitly linking school-based learning to real-life contexts or issues that are relevant to the development of our students as global citizens.
