At Ivanhoe Girls’, we foster a culture of thinking and learning that equips our students with the essential knowledge and complex competencies needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world. We acknowledge and value that learning extends beyond the classroom and understand that learning is underpinned by meaningful relationships. Engaging, varied lessons connected to real-life experiences ignite students’ passions and curiosity, supporting a strength-based approach in which every student can experience personal growth and success.

Our vision for teaching and learning at Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School is to create an active classroom culture that nurtures deep thinking, student agency, collaboration, reflection and critical thinking. We recognise that learning must be purposeful and authentic. We are committed to a differentiated and inclusive learning environment and hold high expectations for every student in our care. Our teachers are experts in knowledge, curriculum design and pedagogical practices, serving as effective communicators and facilitators who model and build strong, positive and respectful relationships with and among our students.

As a school, we have collaboratively developed a bespoke Teaching and Learning Toolkit, which includes our teaching and learning vision and purpose statements alongside our eight principles of good teaching, which helps guide and shape our approach to teaching and learning at Ivanhoe Girls’.
