Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar School

Ivanhoe VIC, Melbourne Northern Suburbs

Message from the Principal

At Ivanhoe Girls’ we view the opportunity to educate girls, prepare them for purpose and success in their adult lives, as a privilege.
With over 116 years of experience in finding and nurturing the strengths of our learners, Ivanhoe Girls’ provides a personalised education for each girl to explore and extend herself academically, socially and culturally while developing a disposition founded on integrity and generous service to our community.
Our teachers unashamedly put the pastoral care and character development of our students on an equal footing with academic achievement. In doing so, 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 their wider community.
Ivanhoe Girls’ Grammar School is a remarkable and forward-thinking school that enthusiastically embraces innovation and learning that is connected to real-world applications. I encourage you and your daughter to come and experience the school for yourself. I look forward to meeting you at one of our many School Tours held throughout the year.
Mr Deborah Priest

Student Profiles

An ‘Ivanhoe Girl’ is not just a student who pushes herself academically, but also someone who can explore and ?nd her passions. Ivanhoe Girls’ is a community of strong young women, supported by teachers who are passionate about teaching and female empowerment. This creates a supportive environment in which to explore what it means to have a voice and take action in both the school and wider community. Opportunities in sport, music, drama, debating, service and leadership through a range of clubs and co-curricular activities allow students to ?nd themselves and express their individuality.
Ivanhoe Girls’ o?ers a wide range of leadership opportunities to try. For me, being an SRC Representative was a highlight, as it opened my eyes to ways in which I could make change in the school community. Working with a diverse group of passionate students from all year levels who had a common goal was so rewarding. Being able to see the impact we had was amazing and inspired me to take on other leadership opportunities throughout my time at Ivanhoe Girls’.
