Give your child the best of both worlds
Pittwater House offers a unique approach to bringing together the best of single sex and co-ed learning.
Pittwater House offers a unique twin school environment in which the boys from the Grammar School and the girls of the Pittwater House Girls College mix on the same campus but are predominantly educated in single-sex classes. This unique educational environment showcases the best teaching practices of single-sex and co-educational learning.
The School has built a reputation for its academic excellence, picturesque beach-side location and boutique size which accommodates nurturing relationships with each pupil. Our small campus size (maximum of 700 pupils from pre-school to Year 12) allows us to truly focus on individual achievement.
Pupils with special abilities are supported through tailored enrichment programs in the Junior School and specialist enrichment classes in Secondary School. Pupils experiencing learning difficulties also have access to specialist learning support programs.
Academically the school is arranged into Junior school – Pre-school to Form 4, Middle School – Form 5 to 8 and Senior School – Form 9 to 12. This allows for a tutor system for pastoral care so that every teacher is actively participating as a Form Tutor with special responsibility for a half or a third of a Form class.
Academic quality is assured through the leadership of Heads of Discipline (K-12) in the Arts, Humanities, Languages, Sciences and Sport.
An integrated learning management system, MyHouse, and the latest hand-held, laptop and wall mounted devices are used across the school and in all aspects of school life. This includes a high level of pupil access to ICT when at School, better communication for parents and regular training for staff and pupils.
In addition to its traditional curriculum, Pittwater House provides enviable sporting, cultural and moral tuition to its pupils which is underpinned by the School's strong core values - honesty and integrity, consideration for others, maximum use of talents, flexibility in thinking, tradition and promoting democracy.
