Lauriston Girls' School

With a proud tradition of providing a high-quality education to young women for over 120 years, Lauriston is dedicated to empowering its students to become confident, compassionate and globally-minded citizens. Lauriston offers both the International Baccalaureate (IB) and Victorian Certificate of Education (VCE) programs, giving students the opportunity to choose the curriculum that best suits their needs and abilities. A highlight of the Lauriston educational experience is our Year 9 program, "Howqua". This program offers students an exciting opportunity to engage with the world beyond the classroom through outdoor education, community service, and learning immersion. The program is designed to develop resilience, leadership skills, and a sense of responsibility and purpose, and provides students with a unique and transformative experience that will stay with them for life.
