Education QLDÂ introduces Ravenswood in Gordon, for all your education and learning needs.
Ravenswood is a remarkable school. We offer a unique combination: quality teaching and outstanding academic results; a school that is just the right size, small enough for individual care but large enough to offer choices; and a focus on the development of a girl’s character and values in a Christian environment.
The most powerful determinant of successful student learning is the quality of teaching. We are open about our commitment to the recruitment of the best available teachers who understand the individual learning needs of each girl. Indeed, learning is at the heart of all that we do – students and teachers alike – and our teachers undertake continuing professional learning to support best practice. While we cannot predict the future for our students of today, we know with absolute certainty that they will need to have developed the ability to adapt to change, to access information and to critically analyse and apply it appropriately. Our approach is to assist girls in learning to learn, so that they have the thinking skills, independence and resilience required to take their place as adults, making a positive contribution as world citizens.
One test of whether teaching is of exceptional quality is the academic results of the students. Ravenswood students consistently obtain excellent results in a non-selective environment. In recent years approximately 50% of our girls have achieved an ATAR/UAC rank above 90. We focus on helping each student to meet her maximum potential and we take pride in the success of each girl in making the most of her abilities. We are a Uniting Church school that accepts students of all faiths. As a community we are concerned with the spiritual as well as the personal and academic development of our students.
