Confident. Capable. Connected.
The Power of an All-Girls Education
Choosing an all-girls education is more than a preference, it’s a powerful decision that shapes the way your daughter will learn, grow and lead.
At St Peter’s Girls’ School, this choice unlocks a world of opportunity. It means stepping into a space where, quite simply, girls are the focus. Their voices are amplified, and their potential is championed in every lesson, every activity and every moment.
Backed by Global Research, Proven by Our Results
Research from around the world consistently shows that girls in single-sex schools are more likely to engage in class discussions, pursue leadership roles, and explore STEM subjects at higher rates.
But we don’t just rely on the data; we see the results firsthand. At Saints Girls, every voice matters, and every girl knows it. In our classrooms, girls take the lead. They ask the tough questions. They speak up, stand out and back themselves.
The ICGS (International Coalition of Girls’ Schools) specifically outlines studies that affirm many benefits including:
- Students are highly likely to enter university
- Increase in risk-taking and healthy competition
- Enhanced wellbeing
- ‘Gender atypical’ subject selection
- Girls achieving highly in Middle School years
- Outstanding results in Senior School

Our graduates are confident, articulate, compassionate and capable. They leave school with a strong sense of self, equipped to thrive in university, in the workplace and in life.
Why It Matters More Than Ever
In a world that’s calling for bold thinkers, strong voices and empathetic leaders, girls’ schools provide the ideal platform for young women to uncover and live up to their full potential.
An all-girls education isn’t about removing challenges; it’s about creating space for girls to rise to them.
There’s a myth that single-sex schools create “a bubble” – where students are removed from the world. In reality, our students are more aware, more engaged and more prepared for the world beyond school because of the environment they’ve grown in.
Our curriculum, co-curricular and leadership programs are intentionally designed to expose girls to diverse viewpoints, real-world challenges and collaborative problem-solving, setting them up not just to enter the world, but to shape it.
Whether it’s captaining a sports team, performing in a musical, or mentoring younger students, Saints Girls take every opportunity to grow, lead and support one another. It’s a powerful network of role models and allies that lasts long after graduation.
Our Vision for the Future
We’re proud of our legacy of championing girls’ education, but we’re not standing still. As a leading voice in girls’ education, St Peter’s Girls is actively shaping what it means to empower the young women of South Australia.
We continue to innovate our programs and provide an environment where girls are equipped academically, emotionally and socially, to rise to every challenge and opportunity. Because when girls are given the space to grow, the world benefits from their strength.
