The Toorak Advantage
Toorak College is an independent school from Early Learning to Year 12, with onsite boarding facilities. We are proudly co-educational from Early Learning until Year 4 and from Year 5 to Year 12 we take a girls only approach.

Quality Teaching
Teachers ignite our passion for learning, challenge our thinking and fuel our dreams for the future. Our teachers are experts in their field, who are passionate and committed to sharing their expertise with your child.
Personalised Learning
Small class sizes, with an average of 17 students, allows our teachers to know each child, identify challenges and strengths and tailor their learning individually.
Dynamic Curriculum
Project Shine is designed to take our students on a journey that allows them to ignite their passion, capitalise on their potential, expand their vision and find their place in the world.
The All-Girl Advantage
Toorak College has been committed to the education of girls for more than 140 years, shaping the lives of thousands of women to become capable and confident leaders.
As advocates for girls’ education from Year 5 onwards, we do not seek to replicate the world, we seek to challenge it by offering our students a safe learning environment where they are free to achieve their personal best and discover their passions.
Educational research and our experience tells us that single-sex education in Middle and Senior School years offers girls the greatest chance to defy stereotypes, develop strong self-worth and build confidence to thrive in school and beyond.

ACADEMICALLY THRIVING
Girls in single-sex schools perform better academically than their co-educational counterparts.
CHALLENGED
Girls at girls' schools have "higher aspirations", "greater motivation" and are "challenged to achieve more than their female peers".
STEM FOCUSED
For girls, single-sex settings results in much more favourable attitudes towards mathematics and science related subjects than those in co-educational settings.
CONFIDENT LEADERS
An all-girl environment allows girls to take on leadership roles in all areas of curriculum.
VOICE OF CHANGE
Single gender classes provide a learning environment where the female voice is not marginalised.

The Class of 2024 achieved an amazing median ATAR of 86.5, meaning that more than half of Toorak students are in the top 14% of the state.
We also saw 35% of students achieve ATARs over 90 and 88% of our students achieved ATARs over 70. We know these scores will open pathways wherever our students would like to go.
In particular we want to celebrate our Dux, Amelia Bishop, with an outstanding ATAR of 99.3 and two perfect scores of 50 in both English and Literature. We also celebrate our Dux Proximus, Ceara Taylor with an impressive ATAR of 99.2.
Extremely high performing scores came from a range of subjects, in true diverse Toorak spirit. In addition to the perfect scores in English and Literature; Media, Art, Visual Communication and Food Studies received incredibly high scores for our Art Department, as did Maths Methods, Biology, Psychology, Sociology, Legal Studies and PE, as well as our Performing Arts Department shining in Music and Dance.
Principal Mrs Kristy Kendall said she was incredibly proud of the class.
