Houses
These are named after three women of character, who, to the best of their ability, made a difference to people's lives.
The houses are designed to build character and service for the School and do much to raise the spirit.

Darling 
The origin of the name stems from Grace Darling, the lighthouse heroine who rescued shipwrecked sailors from the sea.

Keller
Helen Keller, who was blind, deaf and mute, overcame all adversity.

Nightingale
Named after Florence Nightingale, the lady with the lamp, who helped wounded soldiers in the Crimean War.

Extra-mural activities offer the children a broad spectrum of activities. The girls must be selective so as not to overload their afternoons. If a girl has the privilege of being selected for a school team, this will obviously take precedence over other activities.

The extra-mural timetable varies from term to term according to the sports fixtures. During the First and Third terms Swimming, ITA Tennis, Olympic Gym and Non-team Club Swimming are offered. During the Second term Netball, Hockey, ITA Tennis coaching and Gym are offered. A new sport, Kangoo Jumping, has been introduced. This is an activity that strengthens core muscles and enhances co-ordination.

Ballet, Music (instrumental and marimbas), Speech and Drama, Art, Chess, Arts and Crafts and Debating are offered each term.
