About Ruyton Girls' School

Ruyton Girls’ School aspires to give each girl an opportunity to learn and grow so that she achieves educational excellence and personal fulfilment. The size of Ruyton makes it possible to focus on the individuality of each girl, developing academic, social and leadership potential through a wide range of opportunities. Other specialist programs across the Senior School include leadership opportunities, the coordinate program with nearby Trinity Boys’ Grammar School, specialist maths, science and IT, and languages (French and Chinese).

Co-curricular Activities

Ruyton’s co-curricular activities offer many choices. A wide range of musical instrument tuition is available, and there are choirs, orchestras and chamber groups; musicals and drama; joint performances with Scotch College and Trinity Boys’ Grammar School at senior level; debating; specialist art, design and photography; and a full range of house and school competitions and activities. GSV sports include athletics, basketball, cricket, cross-country, equestrian, diving, hockey, netball, rhythmic gymnastics, rowing, skiing, soccer, softball, surf lifesaving, volleyball, water polo, swimming and tennis.

Facilities

The Early Learning Centre, Junior School and Senior School are linked together on the same campus, fostering a strong sense of belonging, and Ruyton is a community where teachers, girls and their families work together. Ruyton has state-of-the-art learning centres, including the Library Resource Centre, the Centre for Creativity and the Ruyton Aquatic Centre.

Results

Our results are consistent and excellent as one of the top performing independent girls’ schools in Victoria. In 2012, 59 per cent of girls in Year 12 achieved ATARs of over 90, there were ten perfect scores and 12 per cent achieved an ATAR over 99. In 2011, four girls received the Premier’s Award, and another was one of only 500 students nationwide to be recognised with an Australian Student Award. “This is not only testament to the hard work and commitment of our girls,” says Principal Ms Linda Douglas, “but also is an endorsement of the dedication and expertise of our teaching staff. This powerful combination produces confident and resourceful young women who are ready to tackle any challenge.”

There is no better way to understand our school than to come inside Ruyton on one of our Open Mornings or to attend one of our Principal’s Conversations. Go to www.ruyton.vic.edu.au for more information.
