Our vision at Ravenswood is to ignite within our students a passion for excellence, empowered by grit and resilience, so that they fulfil their potential, flourish and lead meaningful lives.
Since 1901, Ravenswood has embraced a strong tradition of educational excellence – developing young women of purpose who are empowered and inspired by the highest quality of teaching and learning experiences.
Positive Education
Ravenswood was the first school in New South Wales to adopt a Visible Wellbeing approach in the field of Positive Education and is globally recognised for its innovative approach to Positive Education and wellbeing programs.
We are committed to supporting staff and students to establish optimistic habits of mind that propel them in learning and development, and promote wellbeing and resilience in an educational setting.
Award-winning and globally focused
Ravenswood is a multi-award-winning Positive Education and International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. We are the only school on the Upper North Shore to offer senior students the choice of undertaking either the HSC or the IB Diploma Programme.
Mission and Ethos
Our mission at Ravenswood is to dedicate ourselves to excellence in education for girls and to realise each child’s potential.
We do this by providing a balanced curriculum encompassing spiritual, academic, cultural, physical and practical areas of learning.
Ravenswood is a Uniting Church School and all employees work within and support the ethos of the Uniting Church. The Ravenswood Guiding Principles of Excellence, Respect, Optimism, Courage and Compassion help guide behaviours and relationships within the workplace and form the basis of workplace performance expectations.
