"When you meet Lauriston girls, you will recognise them. They will be the ones asking the questions. You will recognise their self-assurance and their courage to challenge the status quo."
―Old Lauristonian 2009
"Howqua in general changed me. I was introduced in such a meaningful way to the natural world. I adored being in the bush, learning new skills, growing independence away from the distractions of the city. I can’t wait for my daughters to have the same experience!"
― Old Lauristonian 2003
"What I value most at Lauriston is the genuine sense of belonging and the way the school embraces and celebrates diverse backgrounds."
― David, current parent
