In the heart of North Sydney, Wenona stands as a testament to excellence in girls’ education, where young women are empowered to shape the future with the School’s values of Courage, Strength, Grace, Wisdom and Kindness. The Wenona motto, Ut Prosim, that I may serve, reflects its commitment to developing leaders who make a difference to their communities and beyond.
A Heritage of Excellence
Research consistently shows that girls thrive in single-sex environments, and Wenona crafts a space where girls feel confident to stretch themselves academically, creatively, and personally. Since its establishment in 1886, the school has offered a pioneering curriculum and was one of the first girls’ schools in Australia to introduce STEM education. This spirit continues, with the Wenona Renaissance Studies program, which nurtures creative, resilient, and articulate young women through a unique curriculum that spans STEM, ethics, philosophy, culture, and humanities.
