It is my honour to be the eleventh Principal of Canterbury Girls High School. My goals are to ensure that our school remains as a leader in girls’ education and that we are the school of choice for families with daughters in our local area. I look forward to working with the school community to ensure Canterbury Girls continues to nurture and prepare our students for their future endeavours.
Our school is founded on a strong heritage, the promise of public education, and a commitment to nurturing each student’s growth. Our school motto, LEAD the Challenge, reflects the four key principles that guide us - Leadership, Excellence, Achievement, and Diversity - helping students develop the skills and confidence to meet the challenges of the future. At Canterbury Girls, we set high expectations for both students and staff, and our school consistently achieves outstanding academic results.
With a broad curriculum and a strong focus on the performing arts, Canterbury Girls provides students with opportunities to develop their creativity, confidence, and leadership potential. Our music, drama, and dance programs are a hallmark of the school, with students regularly showcasing their talents in concerts, festivals, and our highly anticipated biannual musical production. In addition to the arts, students can participate in a variety of sports, both competitively and recreationally, fostering teamwork and resilience.
At Canterbury Girls we actively foster student voice and leadership through the Student Representative Council, the Prefect Body, and various leadership groups. We recognise and celebrate student achievements through merit and recognition awards, encouraging all students to strive for excellence in every aspect of school life and engage meaningfully in cocurricular activities
We proudly support our students as they embrace new challenges, build lifelong friendships, and discover their potential in a school that values learning, creativity, and empowerment.
I warmly welcome you to our vibrant and inspiring community.
