Welcome to Cheltenham Girls’ High School
Our school has a strong history of outstanding girls' education. It was established as a local comprehensive high school in 1957 and is located on the magnificent former residential estate of the Vicars family.
Cheltenham Girls' High School is committed to providing quality learning experiences in a caring, cooperative, and challenging environment. We strive to develop self-awareness, self-esteem, and confidence. We promote positive, collaborative relationships with each other and the community which is built on respect and the school’s core values of Truth, Unity, and Concord.
Our school has extensive wellbeing processes and inclusive programs, ensuring every student is known, valued, and cared for. Student voice is nurtured through multiple student leadership teams and a variety of student led interest groups.
We offer a broad curriculum including academic, creative, and sporting courses and opportunities, as well as accelerated courses and extensive extracurricular programs. We celebrate strong NAPLAN results and the HSC results continue to see the school recognised as a top comprehensive school in NSW.
Our highly experienced staff are committed to professional learning and the implementation of evidence-based teaching practices that support and drive continuous whole school improvement.
We enjoy a strong positive relationship with our Parents and Citizens Association and we work together to continually improve the programs and facilities available to our students.
Cheltenham Girls' High School's learning, wellbeing, and extracurricular experiences support every student to flourish, and is the foundation of our thriving school community. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about these programs.
