Our Community

Our Results
We are an open entry school, yet each year our students’ achievements are among the highest in the state. This reflects not only the focus, dedication and professionalism of our teachers, but also our culture of academic excellence and our holistic approach to learning.
Lowther Hall has more than 100 years of experience in educating girls. We are a diverse, open-entry school of 900 students from Kindergarten to Year 12.
Our intimate environment on a single campus in the heart of Essendon positions us to know our students and cater for them from their very first day.
We seek to be a school that educates the whole person for the whole of life, helping each girl to develop personal qualities and values that will equip her for a happy and successful adult life.
All of our teachers, support staff and student leaders work towards realising this goal of providing a holistic educational experience for every girl.
At Lowther Hall, we see our role as broader than the provision of a leading-edge curriculum. We pride ourselves on supporting and challenging each student to achieve her best and assisting her to explore a wide range of academic disciplines and co-curricular pursuits.
By nurturing these values, we provide a strong foundation that not only supports their personal growth but also contributes to their academic excellence.
