2025 Community Survey Results
In September 2025, we partnered with external specialists MYP to deliver our triennial community survey across our Junior, Middle, and Senior School communities, receiving 514 responses. We are grateful to all families who took the time to provide such thoughtful and meaningful feedback. Significant time was dedicated to analysing that feedback with the rigour it deserved. In 2025, we also decided to conduct an independent survey for our Early Learners’ Centre community for the first time, ensuring our youngest families had their own dedicated survey to share their experiences. The findings were then reviewed at length by the Senior Leadership Team, presented to the Board, and some now sit at the centre of our planning for 2026 and beyond.

Global Academy Exchange Program Expands in the UK
The Global Academy Exchange Program has recently broadened its international reach, welcoming two prestigious partner schools in the United Kingdom: Sherborne Girls and St Swithun’s, Winchester.
This term, the School was delighted to host three students from St Swithun’s—Holly, Helena, and Daisy—who quickly became part of the community. Their visit coincided with key events such as Choral Night and Summer Interhouse, offering them a vibrant introduction to our School life. Supported by their host sisters, Diya Bhinder, Grace Davies, and Maria Elovaris, along with their families, the students enjoyed a rich and memorable experience, exploring not only Adelaide but also travelling interstate.
The exchange will continue in June, when Diya, Grace, and Maria travel to the UK for a four-week stay at St Swithun’s. In addition to attending school, they will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in British culture during several free days.
The success of this exchange highlights the strong connections formed between students and families. Special thanks are extended to Diya, Grace, Maria, and their families for their enthusiasm and generosity in making the program such a rewarding experience for all involved.

Dear Families,
Next term, our Senior students will be knitting squares that will be assembled into blankets for local charities.
We are seeking donations of knitting supplies from our community, particularly needles and wool. Size 4 knitting needles and 8 ply wool or acrylic would be ideal; however, any donations would be gratefully received.
Contributions can be dropped off at the Front Office.
We thank you for your support!
