Why Ivanhoe Girls'? The Importance of Wellbeing

The wellbeing of our students is essential to ensure they feel comfortable and confident enough to reach their potential.

Our medium sized school, with enrolments limited to between 850 and 1000 students, ensures that each student is known as an individual.

With over 120 years of experience in finding and nurturing the strengths of our learners, Ivanhoe Girls' provides a personalised education, allowing each student to explore and extend herself academically, socially and culturally while developing a disposition founded on integrity and generous service to our community.

At Ivanhoe Girls', the wellbeing of students is as important as academic achievement. We are proud to develop articulate, courageous, critical thinkers who are generous of spirit, have a lifelong love of learning, and who have a voice and use it to make a positive contribution to the wider community.

At Ivanhoe Girls', a focus on each individual student is central to all we do. The caring relationships at the heart of the School provide the best possible foundation for learning and personal development.

The Wellbeing Framework, developed in 2024 is now being rolled out across the School from our Early Learning Centre to Year 12 students, staff and parents. The main three elements of our Wellbeing Framework are: 'Feeling Good', 'Functioning Well' and 'Doing Good.'
