Danebank Anglican School For Girls

Adventure, discovery and powerful storytelling were at the heart of this year’s History Week! Year 8 students stepped back in time during Medieval Day, immersing themselves in the lives of knights, nobles and peasants through hands-on crafts and games. Ancient History students explored the Chau Chak Wing Museum, while Modern History students had the privilege of hearing from a Holocaust survivor. It was an inspiring and memorable week that brought history to life!

Our OGA August Fest was a special afternoon celebrating community and connection. Alumnae enjoyed hearing from Danebank Principal Dr Benn, touring the school and sharing delicious refreshments. It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with friends and peers, reminisce with former Principals Mrs Davis and Miss Bird, and celebrate alongside past and present teachers.

We were delighted to welcome alumnae spanning generations, including a very special guest who was taught at Danebank by our founding Headmistress, Miss Roseby Ball. This annual event is a meaningful reminder of the rich legacy that unites generations of Danebank women.

What a journey down the Yellow Brick Road! As the curtain falls on our magnificent Junior School production of The Wizard of Oz, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to every student and staff member who brought this story to life. A very special thank you goes to our incredible production teachers and behind-the-scenes staff crew: your tireless creativity, energy and dedication turned months of hard work into pure stage joy.

Danebank will join IGSA’s new Junior Sport program in 2027. Designed specifically for girls in Year 3 to 6, the program focuses on participation, skill development and building confidence. Danebank is joining 22 other NSW girls schools in this exciting initiative. We look forward to seeing our students embrace new opportunities!

Join us in keeping the Class of 2026 in our prayers during their Trial HSC examinations. We pray that they approach this important period with calm hearts, clear minds and confidence in the preparation they have undertaken, knowing they are deeply supported and cared for by our school community.

Rehearsals are in full swing for our Junior School production of The Wizard of Oz! Props are painted, sets built and costumes sewn. It promises to be a highlight of the school year, so don’t miss out! Evening performances on Friday 7 and Saturday 8 August, plus a Saturday matinee.

Congratulations to Olivia C who won a Silver Medal in Division 4 Snowboard Cross and achieved impressive results across multiple disciplines, our Division 4 Snowboard Giant Slalom Team who claimed a Bronze Medal, and our Division 4 Snowboard Cross Team who finished an excellent fourth overall. We wish Olivia C, Ivy Z, Evie M and Elsie Z every success as they prepare to compete at the State Championships.

Calling all Danebank alumnae and former teachers!

Spread the word and invite your fellow alumnae and colleagues, we’d love to see you there! Register at [email protected] by Friday 1 August.

Some teachers were simply born to teach. They’re the kind you’ll find at Danebank. Their passion for their role ignites a spark within our students and sets them up to love learning. Come and talk to us about Year 3 at the Junior School Information Session, Tuesday 28 July: https://bit.ly/3Q4O6It
