The Toorak Advantage
Toorak College is an independent school from Early Learning to Year 12, with onsite boarding facilities. We are proudly co-educational from Early Learning until Year 4 and from Year 5 to Year 12 we take a girls only approach.
Quality Teaching
Teachers ignite our passion for learning, challenge our thinking and fuel our dreams for the future. Our teachers are experts in their field, who are passionate and committed to sharing their expertise with your child.
Personalised Learning
Small class sizes, with an average of 17 students, allows our teachers to know each child, identify challenges and strengths and tailor their learning individually.
Dynamic Curriculum
Project Shine is designed to take our students on a journey that allows them to ignite their passion, capitalise on their potential, expand their vision and find their place in the world.
Project Shine
“What you want to inspire in others must first shine inside yourself. Our whole school curriculum is united under Project Shine, a program which empowers our students to find their shine and project it, realising the potential that every student possesses.” — Mrs Kristy Kendall, Principal
At Toorak College, we recognise that a dynamic approach to teaching and learning is at the heart of success in every student’s learning journey. We strive to challenge and nurture every individual, and develop independence, curiosity and self-belief.
As a school, our expertise lies in our approach and understanding of learning, our development of curriculum and our creation of opportunity. Project Shine is designed to take our students on a journey that allows them to truly capitalise on their potential, expand their world view and find their place within it.
The All-Girl Advantage
Toorak College has been committed to the education of girls for more than 140 years, shaping the lives of thousands of women to become capable and confident leaders.
As advocates for girls’ education from Year 5 onwards, we do not seek to replicate the world, we seek to challenge it by offering our students a safe learning environment where they are free to achieve their personal best and discover their passions.
Educational research and our experience tells us that single-sex education in Middle and Senior School years offers girls the greatest chance to defy stereotypes, develop strong self-worth and build confidence to thrive in school and beyond.

ACADEMICALLY THRIVING
Girls in single-sex schools perform better academically than their co-educational counterparts.
CHALLENGED
Girls at girls' schools have "higher aspirations", "greater motivation" and are "challenged to achieve more than their female peers".
STEM FOCUSED
For girls, single-sex settings results in much more favourable attitudes towards mathematics and science related subjects than those in co-educational settings.
CONFIDENT LEADERS
An all-girl environment allows girls to take on leadership roles in all areas of curriculum.
VOICE OF CHANGE
Single gender classes provide a learning environment where the female voice is not marginalised.
