With over 140 years’ experience in raising young women, our staff develop forward thinking programmes and practices to prepare girls for a lifetime of learning, leadership and engagement in our global community. Our campus in the Melbourne suburb of Kew provides a dynamic and nurturing environment for girls from Early Learning to Year 12. Powerful learning is central to the Ruyton culture, building on our strong academic reputation and supporting each girl to achieve her personal best. Our values shape and define the Ruyton woman and the way she leads her life: Character - to be resilient, to act with confidence and compassion. Citizenship - to effect positive change through civic and environmental action. Endeavour - to be curious, creative and courageous learners seeking to achieve personal best. Integrity - to live a life with honesty and virtue. The Ruyton community lives by these values, providing support, role models and a sounding board for our girls as they make their mark in the world. At Ruyton ‘We believe in girls’ is our ethos and our practice. We empower our girls to lead lives of impact and purpose with courage, character and compassion; both now and in the future. This is how we define success.
