It is such a pleasure to welcome you to Ruyton, one of Melbourne’s leading girls’ Schools. With an enviable reputation for academic excellence, Ruyton is a progressive school anchored in tradition. Founded on the legacies of many fearless women, purpose, connection, and community are woven into our DNA.
As I steer Ruyton Girls’ School through its next chapter, I feel privileged and excited for our future.
At the heart of leadership are humility and service—listening, learning, and leading together. This philosophy shapes the very fabric of our connected community at Ruyton. Our ideal size and foundational belief that wellbeing underpins and supports academic success enable us to foster meaningful relationships where every girl is known, understood, and supported on her unique path.
We are dedicated to equipping our students with the confidence and skills to navigate and shape the world beyond our gates. A Ruyton education is characterised by exceptional learning and consistently outstanding results. It also serves as a crucible where young women are inspired to embrace intellectual risks, overcome challenges, and ignite their passions through our diverse range of curricular and co-curricular activities.
Our school experience is further enhanced by our collaboration with Trinity Grammar School. For more than thirty years, our girls have experienced the best of both worlds - a focus on girls' education that supports academic performance alongside structured co-educational programs that enhance the experiences of our students throughout their journey at Ruyton.
Grounded in our rich heritage, Ruyton is also a future-focused learning community, resolutely committed to shaping the future with courage, conviction, and unwavering purpose. Education is paramount in our rapidly evolving world, and we embrace our responsibility to prepare the next generation of women to make informed decisions, confront new and emerging challenges, and thrive as leaders and change-makers.
I invite you to discover the distinctive spirit of a Ruyton education and join me as we work together to ensure our students are known, their paths are boldly embraced, and they are intentionally prepared for the future.

Ruyton Girls' School
