Welcome to Hawthorn School for Girls

Thank you for taking the time to consider Hawthorn for your daughter. We are so pleased you are here. Ours is a school where girls are truly known and valued, where faith and character are woven into everyday learning, and where each student is encouraged to aim high and discover what she is capable of.

We work closely with families and take great care in supporting every girl as she grows in confidence, curiosity, and independence. We would love the opportunity to welcome you into our community and share what makes Hawthorn such a special place to learn and belong.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU

We are Strength. Compassion. Integrity

We deliver

Excellence in education

We offer a Catholic faith-based education grounded in the classical liberal arts and driven by a commitment to excellence in education. Students are challenged to think clearly, speak with confidence, and engage actively with the world around them.

Through a rigorous and balanced study of literature, the humanities, mathematics, and the sciences, each girl builds strong academic foundations while developing character, confidence, and purpose. At Hawthorn, excellence is not just encouraged – it is expected, supported, and achieved.

1:1 MEntoring

At Hawthorn, every girl is supported by a personal mentor who walks alongside her as she grows. This strong partnership between student and mentor inspires confidence, shapes character, and empowers each girl to aim high and reach her full potential.

Mentors also build a strong, ongoing relationship with parents, ensuring open communication and a shared understanding of their daughter’s progress and wellbeing. Through regular conversations and updates, parents are supported as active partners in their daughter’s growth, with mentors providing insight, guidance, and reassurance every step of the way.

Partnering with parents

We recognise parents as the primary educators of their children and value the trust you place in us. At Hawthorn, education is a shared endeavour, and we are committed to working closely with you in supporting your daughter’s academic progress and personal development.

Through regular communication and a genuine partnership, our educators take the time to understand each student as a person. Together with families, we guide every girl as she grows in confidence, character, and purpose, ensuring she is supported, known, and encouraged at every stage of her journey.

LEADERSHIP THROUGH SERVICE

Hawthorn girls are encouraged to see leadership as service—using their gifts to support others and contribute positively to the community. They learn to take initiative, show empathy, and make a meaningful difference both within the school and beyond.

Through these experiences, students develop a strong sense of responsibility and belonging, understanding that true leadership is grounded in care for others and commitment to the common good.

The ALL-Girl advantage

We tailor our approach to how girls learn, recognising their strengths and encouraging each student to engage with confidence and curiosity. In a supportive environment, girls are challenged to think independently, take initiative, and develop the self‑belief needed to lead and succeed.

Through this approach, students build strong academic foundations while also growing as confident learners and leaders. They are encouraged to set high standards, persevere through challenges, and achieve success in a way that is both meaningful and lasting.

We BUILD FAITH. CHARACTER. EXCELLENCE.
