Our Vision
St Margaret’s vision is to always be an outstanding day and boarding school for girls.
Our Mission
In a supportive Christian environment, reflecting the philosophy of the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred Advent, St Margaret's Anglican Girls School aims to provide excellence in teaching and learning within a broad, balanced and flexible curriculum complemented by other school activities, preparing confident, compassionate, capable women able to contribute in a global community.
Our Values
The school’s six core values are born from our Christian faith through our Anglican tradition - spirit, inclusivity, integrity, courage, respect and passion. These are embedded in every endeavour that the students undertake.
Spirit: A St Margaret’s girl will value and demonstrate an enthusiasm for the school, our faith tradition, and our environment. The St Margaret’s spirit is in all students and is there for life. It is a thread that connects St Margaret’s girls with each other.
Inclusivity: A St Margaret’s girl knows that every single person reflects the image of God and deserves to be treated with dignity. She demonstrates inclusivity by acting with compassion and charity, celebrating the gifts of every individual.
Integrity: A St Margaret’s girl is known for her ethical behaviour. She is honest and reliable and acts with integrity.
Courage: A St Margaret’s girl has strength of character and confidence in doing what is right. She is a part of a long line of women of faith who have had the courage to embrace challenge and change.
Respect: A St Margaret’s girl has respect for herself and others. She understands that she is a member of a diverse community, and she takes responsibility as a team member to care, support and cooperate with others.
Passion: A St Margaret’s girl expresses gratitude for the gift of life. She has a positive outlook on life that drives the commitment and persistence necessary for learning and achievement.
Our Commitment
At St Margaret’s, we ensure our decisions and programs reflect a lived and intentional focus on the Philosophy of the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred Advent.
Envisioned Future
By the end of 2030, St Margaret’s will still be known as a leading day and boarding school encouraging aspiration and developing ’future ready’ skills in its students. St Margaret’s will continue to encourage academic excellence, provide a wide range of extra-curricular activities and offer inspirational and experiential opportunities for the students. St Margaret’s students understand their civic responsibility and the school’s wellbeing programs focus on developing the skills needed to manage the challenges and opportunities of post school life.
