Ravenswood School for Girls

I have been invited to Ravenswood School for Girls in 2017 and 2018 to provide specific training on how to use LinkedIn more effectively and have really enjoyed working with such an engaged team of professionals who are willing to adapt to the world of modern technology for the benefit of their entire school community. Thank you for the opportunity to share practical tips and suggestions!

As a entity that appears mostly as a dude, even I can tell that this is a great school. It is PLC without the rich entitlement and Abbotsleigh without the shady dealings.Perfection, even makes pre corrupted Fulgrim say “Perfection”

As a former student this school is perfect if you want a school where your daughter is nearly guaranteed to get bullied and for the staff to ignore it. She may even experience Post Traumatic Stress later in life however trust me the school will not be interested or offer any support for what happened in the past. If you want a school where the amount you support the Schools Building programs reflects the care your daughter will receive, a school where your daughter will graduate with no real world experience in dealing with half the workforce (men). A school which only rewards and acknowledges the top 1% and will leave your daughter feeling worthless if she doesn't achieve a HSC score over 96. In addition many of the teachers have no experience of learning or professional development outside Ravenswood in some cases for many decades. This will be the perfect school for you.

I had a very positive experience at Ravenswood as a student for 8 years, from year 5 to year 12. I could not have asked for a more supportive environment. The school provides a huge array of opportunities in all areas, and provides all the resources and facilities necessary for a well-rounded education.

I went to Ravenswood School for Girls as a boarder in1940-41. It was then at Eastwood. nsw. My name then was Betty May Tipper. I have great memories of my time there as it was during world War 2. I am now 88 yrs old.

The teachers at Ravo are some of the most hard working people I know. All of my teachers have always gone out of their way to make sure the whole class understands the content or to catch up those who were away in previous lessons. Not only that, but they will always give up time at recess, lunch, before or after school just to have a chat with you and make sure everything is going alright. They have been my strongest support network through the hardest of days and I don't know what I would have done without them. I've now finished the ib course with a result I'm super proud of and I couldn't thank my teachers enough for their belief in students and the encouragement and genuine care they've shown to everyone.

I'm temporarily using my husband's account, but my name is Belinda Landsberry and my daughter, Elyse, kindled the flame in Year 4 at Ravenswood in 2010. Her incredible teacher, Sally Clarke, gave Elyse the perfect gift: a firm belief in herself. Now, after 9 years at Ravenswood, Elyse has realized the truth of this. She has just completed the 2018 HSC and attained an incredible result. But it’s not just her exceptional ATAR which distinguishes her as a Ravo girl, it’s her compassion, her humility, her strength, her vitality but most of all, her firm belief in her family, her friends and most importantly, herself. Upon leaving school, Elyse has a very bright future ahead of her and with true Ravo grit she won’t just shine, she’ll dazzle! So thank you Ravenswood, we couldn’t have found a better school for our daughter. You are everything you promise ... and so very much more.

Thoroughly enjoyed my 6 years at Ravenswood, I have so many great memories of the school and its warm learning environment. The school has so much to offer for all girls with different interests and passions.

Ravenswood is a fantastic school. Our daughter has been there for 6 yrs and we couldn't be more proud of the young lady she is becoming. She is determined, focused, optimistic and considerate and she is very proud to be a Ravo girl.

This is a school which lives up to it's promise; to inspire and ignite potential. So, whatever your daughter's talents and dreams - Ravenswood will rise to the challenge.
