Celebrating excellence in girls’ education since 1886, Wenona is an independent, non-denominational day and boarding school for girls K to 12 in North Sydney, close to Sydney’s cultural centre. Under Principal Dr Briony Scott, our vision is for Wenonians to graduate as creative, resilient, articulate and well educated women, filled with a sense of humour and a capacity for adventure. We aim for our students to develop integrity, grace, a sense of purpose, and a strong moral and ethical outlook, raised to value service and to be a proactive and positive voice within the local, national and global community. With 1000 students, including 50 boarders, Wenona offers a rich array of academic and co-curricular opportunities within a creative and caring community. Wenona’s impressive results are influenced by an academic peer culture, professional teaching and learning, and innovative use of ICT. Senior girls benefit from the Evening Study Centre, and the majority of students seek a university pathway. Pastoral care is enhanced through age-appropriate tutor groups and our vertical House system, together with professional counselling and careers advice. The school’s vibrant learning environment includes a blend of heritage and new spaces, with a pool and modern gymnasium. Leadership and teamwork skills are fostered through international and local service learning initiatives, guided by our motto, Ut Prosim, that I may serve.
