- At girls schools, students do better academically, socially and emotionally

- Students feel empowered to defy gender stereotypes at all-girls schools
- Students at girls schools are more confident, resilient and self assured
- Students from girls schools have higher aspirations and ambitions

Our Philosophy
Guided by the five Sacred Heart goals, we work with each individual student to develop her into a global citizen committed to service. We are committed to knowing every child and providing for them, holistically. Our foundress, Madeleine Sophie Barat, was inspired to educate young people with heart and mind. This philosophy underpins all that we do at Kincoppal-Rose Bay as Sacred Heart educators.
In order to encourage the academic growth and potential of each child, we follow principles of individual care and seek best practice models of learning and support. We know that agency and resilience are crucial factors to developing young people of conviction, compassion and courage.
We want our students to be inspired. To leave KRB with skills that supports their success in life well beyond the sandstone building of our School. We want our students to challenge their thinking and strive for excellence in their respective fields.
As you walk through our school you will experience the community that is inherent to our school culture. Our school community is diverse and connected. We have strong ties to our international Sacred Heart network schools and strive to bring global perspectives to everything we do.
Our Curriculum
Our devoted and high-calibre Senior School teaching team delivers a curriculum grounded in academic rigour.
Through our curriculum, we promote a nurturing environment to help your child develop into a confident, well balanced and spirited adult.
Across our School you will find a combination of ability graded classes and mixed-ability classes. We use research to inform our practice and in the implementation, we ensure that every girl’s needs are met.
This means we utilise differentiated teaching and flexible group structure within the classroom to cater for all types of learners. Open-ended activities are used allowing all students to access the material at their own level and to contribute to the lesson. Extension activities are also used to provide challenges and enrichment in learning.
Our curriculum caters to all levels of skills and interest. In Years 7 and 8 all students study the same curriculum with support and extension available for students who require it. As students enter the later stages of their senior education in Years 9-12, we work with every individual student to ensure she is supported in her decision-making on subjects for study.
There are a variety of Extension and Enrichment programs available to students in the Senior School to encourage students to reach their full potential in their area of interest. Some examples of these include:
- Writers Club
- Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Competitions
- HSC Acceleration programs
- Model United Nations
- Coding Courses
- Art and Drama performances and national competitions
Through every Year, class and conversation, we focus on the individual to make sure we offer the best opportunities for our students to help each girl realise and achieve her potential.
