Physical activity at Lauriston

We believe that physical activity is integral to the emotional and physical development of all students. We are dedicated to creating a culture that values physical exercise as a foundation for positive wellbeing. Our students have access to a wide range of recreational, team and competitive sporting opportunities to develop skills in collaboration, confidence and resilience.

Our House system is an integral part of our School community. From Prep to Year 12, each student becomes a member of one of four Houses – Kirkhope, Irving, Andrews and Mitchell – with the aim of cr eating a supportive and nurturing environment where they can make friendships across year levels, broaden their interests and involvement in the School community, and develop their potential.

Girls are encouraged to participate in friendly House sport events that build a strong spirit of camaraderie and community and provide invaluable opportunities to demonstrate leadership and courage. House sport events include netball, cross-country, athletics and swimming.

As part of the interschool sport program, Lauriston is a proud member of the Girls Sport Victoria (GSV) in Years 7–12 and the School Sport Victoria (SSV) in Years 5 & 6. Weekly sport and recreational activities are compulsory for students and are required to take part in at least one team sport each year.

Teaching faculties

Our team of skilled educators are highly experienced, passionate, and diverse. While they hone academic development and performance, they are just as focused on overseeing a girl’s emotional and social growth. In fact, our girls consistently comment that their teachers are both generous with their time and proactive in reaching out with support.

A Lauriston Education

Our team of skilled educators are highly experienced, passionate, and diverse. While they hone academic development and performance, they are just as focused on overseeing a girl’s emotional and social growth. In fact, our girls consistently comment that their teachers are both generous with their time and proactive in reaching out with support.

This holistic approach is well reflected in both our girls’ NAPLAN growth, strong ATAR results and their contributions to the community.
