Description
Since 1897 Meriden has produced confident and articulate young women, renowned for making their marks academically and in the global community. Meriden girls are nurtured throughout their school life to make a positive difference in their world. Our girls are global citizens who are encouraged to be open-minded and inclusive and to respond to situations with a sense of integrity, responsibility and compassion.
At Meriden, every girl is valued and her journey through the school is guided according to her individual needs. Our school is a community that supports and encourages students through social, service, athletic and cultural endeavours while keeping academic excellence at its heart. We limit our class sizes to allow teachers to foster curiosity, initiative, perseverance and enthusiasm for learning.
We care about our girls’ performance and their wellbeing and believe that, by nurturing both, we are best placed to help our students achieve to their potential. Our school’s academic outcomes are outstanding and most of our graduates are accepted into the top universities in Australia and abroad. We are equally proud of our students’ achievements in music, sport, debating and their many other endeavours.
Meriden is renowned for its commitment to developing well-rounded young women who are confident acticulate and generous leaders, well-equipped to become courageous and innovative leaders of the future.
Meriden caters for girls from Prep (four years of age) to Year 12.
