Arndell Anglican College is an award-winning co-educational Christian school set on 30 acres of natural bushland in Oakville, New South Wales. Serving families across the Hawkesbury and Greater Hills regions since 1990, this proud member of the Anglican Schools Corporation provides a high-quality, affordable education for students from Pre-Kindergarten through to Year 12. Led by Headmaster Dr. Gareth Leechman, the College is dedicated to its core mission: to lead with faith, nurture with care and teach with excellence. Arndell uniquely blends rigorous academic programs with intentional character development and a lived Christian faith, ensuring that every child matters and is supported to reach their full potential. Beyond its strong classroom curriculum, Arndell’s beautiful bushland campus offers a vibrant co-curricular program with modern facilities supporting the performing arts, sports, technology and an on-campus agricultural farm. By fostering a safe, caring and values-aligned learning community, the College empowers its more than 1,250 students to grow into confident, principled leaders prepared to contribute meaningfully to the wider world.

As an independent, forward-thinking girls’ school we are committed to preparing girls for a lifetime of learning, leadership and engagement in our global community. We believe in girls. At Ruyton Girls’ School we foster the individuality of each girl in a caring and safe environment, nurturing her intellectual, physical, social and emotional qualities that are essential to flourish. Powerful learning is central to the Ruyton culture, building on our strong academic reputation. We focus on advancing the learning of every girl through the engagement of intellectual curiosity, building their knowledge and skills about how to learn, and supporting them to achieve their personal best and be exemplary citizens. We believe in real-world learning beyond the classroom, collaborating with the wider community to promote growth, discovery and sustainability. We empower our girls to lead lives of purpose with courage, character and compassion. Through the development of values and action-focused learning they are inspired to pursue equity and justice for self and others. By embracing diversity and raising their voices, our girls effect positive change and make a difference.
