Position Information
Canterbury Girls High School is an inclusive and culturally diverse environment in Sydney's Inner West. We offer an academic learning environment with a focus on wellbeing and empowering young women to become active and resilient lifelong learners. The diversity of the school is reflected in a population with 57% of students with a language background other than English. The school prides itself on being an inclusive learning environment in which difference is celebrated. Most students are highly engaged and enjoy attending school each day; retention rates are above the state average, and student behaviour is excellent. The diversity of the student population mandates differentiated curriculum patterns to enable student needs to be comprehensively addressed. Differentiation and extension are ongoing curriculum priorities for all stages. Elective lines for Years 8-12 are determined by student choices, and student voice is a central focus within the school. Value adding for the school in relation to student growth in State and National assessments is uniformly strong. Academic achievement and student participation is a testament to the strong home-school partnerships the school enjoys.
