Early learning
ELC: Where curiosity begins
Korowa’s Early Learning Centre (ELC) welcomes girls and boys aged 3 and 4 into a joyful, nurturing environment where curiosity, creativity and confidence are encouraged from the very beginning.
Through play-based learning and age-appropriate experiences like music, art and PE; children build strong social, emotional and early academic foundations. Located in the Junior School, ELC provides a seamless transition into Prep and a confident start to the Korowa learning journey.
Junior School
Prep-Year 6: Learning takes root
In Junior School, girls develop a genuine love of learning while building strong social, emotional and academic foundations. Carefully sequenced programs nurture curiosity, creativity, resilience and independence, helping each girl grow in confidence and character.
Girls are encouraged to explore new challenges and leadership opportunities. Personalised learning supports a smooth progression into Senior School and a lifelong enthusiasm for learning.
Years 7 & 8
Years 7-8: Pivotal growth
In Years 7 and 8, girls enter a pivotal stage of learning that builds independence, resilience and confidence. Based in the Cripps Centre, students are supported to develop strong skills in communication, collaboration and leadership within a nurturing environment.
Through a broad, experiential curriculum and signature programs, girls are encouraged to explore new interests, express ideas thoughtfully and engage with real-world learning. Tailored opportunities support initiative and growth, laying strong foundations for the senior years ahead.
Years 9 & 10
Years 9-10: Fostering independence
In Years 9 and 10, girls deepen their learning, explore interests and begin shaping future pathways. Research-informed programs develop critical thinking, collaboration and leadership, while encouraging engagement with real-world issues.
A broad range of electives and co-curricular opportunities allows students to discover new passions, build confidence and contribute meaningfully to their communities. These pivotal years foster independence, purpose and character, preparing girls for the academic and personal challenges of senior schooling.
Years 11 & 12 (VCE)
Years 11-12: Life-ready
In Years 11 and 12, girls take ownership of their learning, choosing subjects that align with their strengths, interests and future aspirations. The VCE program offers rigorous academic preparation alongside opportunities to develop leadership, responsibility and career readiness.
