Before lessons began this morning, our community gathered to celebrate the people who stand beside our students as they grow.

The SFA Annual Father’s Day Breakfast welcomed Strathcona dads and loved ones to share breakfast, conversation, and time with their daughters. Amid the bustle of the coffee cart and sausage sizzle there were stories exchanged, school experiences shared, and families connecting with one another.

At Strathcona, every student’s journey is strengthened by the people who encourage her to find her voice and become her best. This morning was a joyful reminder that while each girl’s path is uniquely her own, she moves forward with a strong and caring community behind her.

Our sincere thanks to the Strathcona Family Association and the community who helped bring this special morning to life.

For more than 20 years, rowing has been an important part of Strathcona’s history. As we look ahead to the 2026/27 season, we are excited to see our girls continue to embrace the challenges, friendships and opportunities that make the program so special.

Based along the banks of the Yarra River at our Year 9 campus, Tay Creggan, the Rowing Program provides students with opportunities to develop confidence, resilience and teamwork while challenging themselves beyond the classroom. We are pleased to welcome Tommy Reeves to the Rowing team as Head of Rowing, commencing this term.

Whether training on the river, supporting teammates or striving towards a personal goal, our girls develop skills and perspectives that stay with them long after the season ends. We wish our rowers every success as they begin the season ahead and look forward to cheering them on from the riverbank.

To learn more about the co-curricular opportunities available at Strathcona and meet our passionate staff, join us at our Open Morning on Thursday 22 October. Register your attendance here: https://www.strathcona.vic.edu.au/open-morning-registration/

What team? Strathcona!

From the first rehearsal to the final bow, our Year 7 and 8 students brought courage, creativity and joy to High School Musical JR.

Across four sold-out performances, students filled Featherstone Hall with music, movement and energy, stepping outside their comfort zones, trusting their voices and supporting one another every step of the way.

At Strathcona, the performing arts are about more than the final performance. They provide opportunities for students to discover new strengths, build confidence and experience the power of working towards a shared goal. Through every rehearsal, challenge and performance, students learn more about what they are capable of.

Congratulations to every member of the cast and crew, and thank you to the dedicated staff and supportive families who helped make this production possible.

Our Year 9 students once again transformed the Senior School and Tay Creggan into the lively Envision Marketplace this week, sharing the handmade crafts, activations and gifts they have developed through their own small business ideas this term. Students traded with the Senior School community during the day before welcoming parents, families and friends to Tay Creggan in the afternoon.

Complementing their academic studies, Envision is Strathcona's distinctive Year 9 program at Tay Creggan, designed to set students into motion through real-world entrepreneurial learning. Throughout the program, students generate ideas, design products and services, create business plans, manage budgets, and consider how to bring their ideas to market. The Envision Marketplace gave each team the opportunity to put that learning into action and experience what it takes to turn an idea into something meaningful.

By creating space for students to make meaningful choices and learn through experience, Envision helps each student build confidence and develop life-ready skills. The 2026 Envision Marketplace was a powerful reminder of what can happen when an idea is given the opportunity to grow, and a girl is given the confidence to pursue it.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the way we learn, work and imagine what might be possible. At Strathcona, we want our students to understand that change, and question it thoughtfully as they prepare to shape what comes next.

Over the past three weeks, our Year 10 students have participated in the HEX x Strathcona AI Program in our CORAL Lab, exploring the opportunities, challenges and implications of artificial intelligence across careers and society. Through practical activities and thought-provoking discussions, students gained insight into emerging industries, future pathways and the distinctly human skills that will continue to matter in an increasingly AI-powered world.

The experience encouraged students to think critically about how AI can be used with creativity, purpose and responsibility. As they considered the future of work and their own aspirations, students were challenged to imagine not only how technology might change the world, but how they might contribute to it.

The program also showcased the work of our CORAL Lab, a space dedicated to innovation, digital literacy and future-focused learning. Reflecting our Strategic Plan commitment to Learning Boldly, it provides opportunities for students to explore emerging technologies with confidence, curiosity and critical thinking.

Thank you to HEX for partnering with us in preparing the next generation of thinkers, innovators and leaders, as they imagine what comes next.

To see our CORAL Lab in action, come along to our Open Morning on Thursday 22 October. Click here to reserve your spot: https://www.strathcona.vic.edu.au/open-morning-registration/

Every artwork has a story to tell.

This year, students from Early Years through to Year 12 invite our community into their world through the 2026 Early Years – VCE Art & Design Exhibition, themed Once Upon a Time – Every Piece Tells a Story.

Join us on Opening Night, Wednesday 7 October from 5.30pm to 7.30pm, as we celebrate the stories our students have chosen to share through art. Across a diverse collection of works, students reflect on the people, places, ideas and experiences that have shaped them, inviting viewers to see the world through their eyes.

A highlight of the annual school calendar, the exhibition showcases the creativity and artistic growth of Strathcona students at every stage of their learning journey, highlighting the many ways stories can be told through visual expression.

Strathcona Girls Grammar has once again been recognised as one of The Educator's 5-Star Best Schools for 2026.

This award celebrates schools that deliver exceptional educational experiences while supporting students to grow academically, personally and beyond the classroom.

At Strathcona, we believe every student deserves the opportunity to discover her strengths, pursue her interests and shape a future that is uniquely her own.

Whether through our award-winning Wholebeing Program, leadership opportunities, career education, extensive co-curricular program, dedicated Year 9 campus Tay Creggan, or future-focused centres of excellence such as the CORAL Lab and HEXA Centre, we are committed to creating an environment where students are known, supported and challenged to grow.

For more than a century, Strathcona has continued to evolve its approach to girls' education while remaining grounded in a strong sense of community and belonging. This award recognises our holistic approach to education, one that values academic excellence alongside wellbeing, innovation, inclusion, service, leadership and career readiness.

From Early Years to Year 12, students are encouraged to think boldly, embrace opportunity and develop the confidence for life beyond the classroom.
We are incredibly proud of our students, staff and families who make Strathcona such a vibrant and connected community.
