Pittwater House is an independent, non-denominational school offering a well-rounded education to students from Early Childhood to Year 12.

Our innovative structure provides your child the best of both worlds, in a learning environment combining predominantly single-sex classes on one co-educational campus.

We maintain a modest student population to ensure that each individual is seen, known and cared for, so our staff can develop a true understanding of your child’s abilities, talents and needs – both inside and outside the classroom.

In the classroom, our highly qualified teachers use an evidence-based teacher-framed, student-led model known as ‘Deep Learning’, enabling students to master essential academic content and to become lifelong learners.

Outside the classroom, we offer students an array of co-curricular opportunities to cater to a diverse range of interests and abilities, most of which take place on our large campus.

Pittwater House offers your child countless ways to develop and thrive.

I thank you for considering Pittwater House for your child.

At Pittwater House there is a great spirit of friendliness, mutual respect and recognition of achievement, all reflected in the school motto 'semper diligens' — Latin for 'always hardworking’.

I am proud to be leading a school that offers a truly unique, balanced and nurturing approach to education from Pre-school to Year 12. The School's philosophy is based on providing single-sex education within a co-educational environment. We offer modest class sizes and a focus on academic growth.

We specifically focus on the development of each and every child at Pittwater House. This approach mirrors my own principles, which are focused on cultivating student potential, encouraging strong personal values and creating well-rounded young people.

To learn more about our wonderful School, I encourage you to speak to our Registrar to book a Zoom Q&A with me.

I hope to meet you soon.

Kind regards,

Dr Nancy Hillier
