Wenona School

About

Established in 1886, Wenona is a non-denominational school which offers girls the academic and personal support they need to develop into confident women. It is an exciting process to watch. Our girls learn in an environment where they are the focus. A broad academic curriculum is available at all levels. Enthusiasm for all subjects is nurtured from the youngest age and the academic peer culture ensures that each girl is supported in striving to do her best. At Wenona, every program is designed for girls and every decision has the interests of girls at its core. Girls are the doers, the leaders, the main participants. Here, supported by staff who have a deep understanding of the nature of girls and their needs, a girl learns to take socially acceptable risks, to meet aesthetic, physical, social and ethical challenges, and to thrive within a caring community. Leadership opportunities abound. At Wenona, girls collaborate with their classmates in the classroom, on the sports field, in co- activities. Girls learn that they have much to offer and much to learn from each other. At Wenona, we speak freely about the many intimate, personal and ethical issues that affect girls and women. In this environment, with strong female role models and mentors, our girls are keen to share their thoughts and ideas. They relax and become comfortable with themselves. We are proud of our school, its history, traditions and values. You will find Wenona a nurturing and supportive community, where girls are engaged and enjoy being with each other, learning from each other, and challenging themselves to be the best they can be.
