Principal’s Message
At St Matthew’s doors are opened to endless possibilities. Our graduates leave us continuing to thrive and reach their highest potential through academic, sporting, spiritual and cultural opportunities. It empowers young women to be confident, resilient, connected, and successful valued citizens, who are equipped for the future. We strive to develop the dispositions and skills necessary for our teachers to remain leaders in the education of women, where learning provides a platform of student agency through developing self-belief, self-awareness and self-regulation to enhance their futures.
