Outstanding Curriculum

As a centre of learning for the 21st century, St Ursula’s College offers a curriculum tailored to the needs of young women for the future. Students are provided with learning opportunities that aim to prepare them to be resourceful, resilient, well informed and effective participants and leaders of their world. Each girl is encouraged to take responsibility for her own learning and all are challenged to discover and extend their own gifts and talents in fields as diverse as the Creative and Performing Arts, Design and Technology, Languages, Science, Social Science and Vocational Education. St Ursula’s students excel in the traditional academic endeavours as well as in the creative and vocational fields. There is a focus on those elements that distinguish a girl’s education and on the range and diversity of subject choices and pathways that each girl can experience.
