At Dorothy Stringer we encourage our students to have a go at everything, to embrace new challenges, not to be afraid to make mistakes and learn from them. We prepare our students to be adaptable and resilient. Students are challenged to work things out for themselves, to take risks and experience new ideas, concepts and emotions.  

As a school we are always striving to do the very best by each student and ensure that they are supported by our outstanding pastoral system so that they are fully prepared to face any challenges ahead over the coming years. We are proud of the supportive relationships that exist among our students too. Senior students mentor and support younger students; they care about one another and take pride in each other’s achievements.  

The school offers leadership opportunities from Year 7 through to Year 11 and our student leadership teams make a real difference to the school and its environment. As a community we are respectful of others and take personal responsibility for our actions. We want to develop understanding and compassion, so our students play their part in helping to create a better world – to be part of the change they want to see.
