The world asks a lot of young women
Your daughter is growing into a world that is fast, demanding and often contradictory. She will be asked to be confident but selfless, ambitious but considered, independent but connected. Sacré Cœur forms the inner architecture she needs to meet that complexity with judgement, steadiness and purpose.
2026 5-Star Best School
Sacré Cœur has been recognised as a 5-Star Best School in The Educator’s 2026 special report.
“The work of education is to form young women ready to keep learning, growing and becoming – long after they leave our care.”
Adelina Melia-Douvos, Principal
Read the special reportWhat readiness looks like at Sacré Cœur
A strong inner architecture
Not just what she achieves, but who she becomes: steady, self-aware and able to exercise judgement.
Readiness for real life
She is stretched and supported to meet ambiguity, change and responsibility — not just the next assessment.
Formation over finish
Year 12 is a milestone, not a final reveal. She leaves ready to keep becoming.
Strength with grace
She learns to be strong without hardness, ambitious without ego, and deliberate rather than impulsive.
Serious education, human purpose
Academic excellence is expected, but always connected to character, contribution and purpose.

Is Sacré Cœur a selective school?

What academic expectations and support can we expect?

How does Sacré Cœur support student wellbeing?
Wellbeing is treated as part of a student’s formation, through various programs across Preparatory to Year 12.
What opportunities are there beyond the classroom?
Students can contribute through sport, music, performing arts, debating, leadership, service and other co-curricular experiences. The point is not activity for activity’s sake. These experiences give girls real opportunities to participate, test themselves and grow.
What are the enrolment steps after I enquire?
After you enquire, Admissions will be in touch to walk you through application, interview and offer. You can read the full process on the enrolment steps page.
What does it mean for my daughter to be known at Sacré Cœur?
Being known means more than being recognised by name. Teachers understand her strengths and areas for growth, then use that knowledge to decide when to stretch her and when to support her.
What is learning like from day to day?
Students are expected to think, ask questions, contribute and act on feedback. Learning is rigorous. It is not built around pressure for its own sake.
