  1. Presbyterian Ladies' College Sydney is one of Australia's oldest and most respected schools for girls. PLC Sydney is a day and boarding school for girls from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. When PLC Sydney opened its doors for the first time in 1888, the entire school consisted of 39 girls. Today the College is home to nearly 1400 girls from just four years old to the young women who graduate in Year 12. Over its long history, the College has been transformed over and over again. Times change. Education has changed ... and keeps changing. Today's learning environment tools and opportunities would barely be recognizable to a graduate of only 30 years ago. Change is good, but some things do not – and should not – change. In what turned out to be an unusual opening day ceremony, the Governor of NSW invited his wife, Margaret Child-Villiers, the Countess of Jersey, to make an impromptu speech. The words she spoke were reported around the world. "To gain knowledge for the mere sake of possessing it is selfishness to gain knowledge for the mere love of displaying it is vanity to gain knowledge for the sake of being useful to others is true Christian charity." The Countess' spirit lives on in the College's commitment to achieving outstanding academic results and being a place where each girl is extended to grow into a confident, caring, and accomplished young woman of integrity. The Countess of Jersey would have approved. One of the things we have come to love about PLC Sydney is its gardens. Everyone who walks through this College moves through the dappled light from its wonderful old trees and shrubbery. The poet Gerard Manley Hopkins once wrote: "Glory be to God for dappled things." He expressed his wonder and gratitude for the variety of beauty and experience he found in Nature. Our gardens are an appropriate metaphor for our PLC Sydney community. With approximately 1350 students, boarders, and day girls, from a wide range of backgrounds and over fifty cultural groupings, and with provision for the ablest students and those with particular learning difficulties, we can claim to be one of the truly international, proudly comprehensive schools in the country. We welcome all students regardless of their academic ability, all of whom are regarded as valuable members of our school community and whose development is essential. PLC Sydney provides many opportunities for students to find their niche and learn new skills while also engendering the intellectual and personal vitality required for life after school. Our courses' scope is impressive by any standard: 18 School Certificate courses and 26 Higher School Certificate courses, including five languages. University entrance rates are equally encouraging, particularly given our comprehensive entry. A pattern has developed where between 45 percent and 60 percent of the graduating Year 12 receive ATARs of 90 or over. We seek to be a College that achieves both excellence and what we call 'reach'. Students can achieve excellence academically and in co-curricular endeavors. Yet we also set as our task to enable each student to achieve her best. PLC Sydney is a school of the Presbyterian Church of Australia in the State of NSW. It welcomes all girls to a caring Christian environment that encourages excellence in all areas of life. The College will encourage each individual to: develop a Christian worldview become a young woman of integrity with a sense of purpose achieve full potential in all areas of endeavor develop agency the capacity to make good choices achieve proficiency and confidence in communication, problem-solving, and the use of new technologies attain self-confidence and develop an enthusiastic commitment to excellence develop an understanding of and respect for the values of others acquire the skills needed to use leisure time in a fulfilling, responsible, and creative fashion please contribute to the well-being of her local, national, and international community develop a keen and life-long pursuit of learning. Our values are based on a Christian world view and expressed through four core ideals. We strive to provide an environment where the following values underpin all endeavors and relationships in the College: Grace: the underlying framework for our College is that each student realizes that there are circumstances beyond their control in their lives for which they are genuinely grateful. They are who they are because of the grace of God, the love of their families, and the support and enabling of others. An attitude of Reverence: (deep respect tinged with awe) for God's word and the beauty and wonder of the natural world and humanity. With this attitude, we view the world with inspiration and hope, undertake our endeavors with passion, and base our relationships on respect for ourselves and others. The pursuit of Wisdom: which begins with a spirit of inquiry for knowledge and truth and, through discipline and challenge, leads to well-considered judgment. Participation in Service: to make a difference in the world. Contributing to communities builds personal character through understanding and compassion and fulfills the obligations and responsibilities of citizenship. View full school
  2. Presbyterian Ladies’ College was founded in 1915 and has since sustained an international reputation for academic excellence and outstanding success in preparing young women to lead active purposeful lives. Evidence of our Scottish heritage is apparent throughout the beautiful Peppermint Grove campus and the distinctive Blackwatch tartan uniform and PLC Pipe Band. However, perhaps the most significant legacy of our Scottish tradition is a belief in educational excellence, combined with a whole-of-person approach to intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual development. Today this continues to be the philosophical foundation on which a PLC education is based. At PLC, every girl is given the opportunity to: Develop an appreciation of intellectual challenge and a love of lifelong learning Gain the confidence to question, challenge, and be creative Give and receive warmth and human understanding Belong to a community in which to experience the beauty and joy of life itself. PLC students are encouraged to become critical and compassionate thinkers, assume responsibility for their learning, and be informed and engaged participants in local and global issues. Underlying these precepts is the conviction that women can, and should, make a difference in the world. At PLC, we measure our achievements through theirs. PLC Perth is more than a School. When your daughter joins us, your entire family becomes a member of a community rich in history, strong in its commitment to the values of compassion and respect, dedicated to intellectual challenge and inquiry, and which has a culture of participation, resilience, and courage. Our Founders’ values – integrity, learning, community, and effort – forged 105 years ago remain true to PLC Perth today. We educate girls to be global citizens and empower them to lead a principled life. PLC Perth is the only girls’ school in Western Australia to offer three tertiary education pathways – the world-recognized International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma program, the WA Certificate of Education (WACE), and the vocational education pathway. In our Junior School, our IB Primary Years Programme is a curriculum and pedagogy that focuses on developing the whole child – academically and social-emotionally. Our world-class well-being center – the PLC Lighthouse – delivers the health and well-being curriculum in a state-of-the-art facility where the focus is on feeling good, functioning well, and doing good for others. With its gymnasium, circuit and movement rooms, and well-being spaces, students are encouraged to use them before and after school, during study and lunch breaks. Presbyterian Ladies’ College is a Uniting Church School committed to an excellent, well-rounded educational experience that gives every girl confidence and empowers her to lead a principled life and make an active contribution to the community.

Taken together, our values create an enabling environment to meet the School’s Statement of Purpose: Presbyterian Ladies’ College is a Uniting Church School committed to an excellent, well-rounded educational experience that gives every girl confidence and empowers her to lead a principled life and make an active contribution towards the community. Strong ethical values make truth, compassion, respect, and moral courage highly-valued attitudes that are modeled every day. Integrity and a strong sense of social justice are particularly demonstrated through a commitment to celebrating diversity, including reconciliation for indigenous peoples of Australia and striving for equal opportunities for women. We learn and explore intellectual challenges and are inspired to value learning as inquirers, thinkers, risk-takers, communicators, and self-reflection. Students develop an understanding of themselves, their community, and the world around them through a balance of academic, social, cultural, and spiritual inquiry and physical pursuits. We value participation as an active means of making friends and building mutual understanding, showing care, support, respect, and an open mind to recognize everyone’s value and contributions. The value of belonging to a community accepts rights and responsibilities and recognizes that with privilege comes an individual and collective responsibility for the common good. We recognize that little is achieved without effort, and we encourage students to strive and achieve their best. Confidence, resilience, and boldness develop through a culture of participation, a get-up-and-go attitude, having the courage to try new things, managing unfamiliar situations, learning from mistakes in a supportive environment, and having opportunities to discover personal strengths.

Our unique, inquiry-based approach embraces the many languages of childhood and encourages children to become enthusiastic participants and communicators, actively contributing to their learning. Children's natural curiosity is nurtured and stimulated in an environment that owes much to the Reggio Emilia approach to learning. The children are encouraged to make discoveries, develop theories, imagine, explore, and interpret. Our indoor and outdoor programs promote a love of learning, independence, co-operation, and confidence. Each day is filled with opportunities for sharing, laughing, running, singing, dancing, collaborating, experimenting, creating, and expressing ideas. The staff at our ELC are highly qualified in the early childhood field. They include experienced kindergarten teachers and other early childhood professionals specifically selected for their ability to develop warm, sensitive relationships with the children in their care. Access to Junior School facilities, resources, and specialist staff complement the programs for the three-year-old Kindergarten and four-year-old Pre-Prep children.

Friendships are essential for all ages, and we foster opportunities for the girls to work collaboratively and build inclusive relationships. The Christian values of love, kindness, care, and respect underpin all we do at PLC. PLC is an outstanding learning community for students and teachers alike. We seek to develop a love of learning in our students that will enrich their whole lives and prepare them to be active citizens of the future. In a rapidly changing, information-rich world, students need to acquire the capacity to be discerning learners: to absorb, question, challenge, and reflect upon what they learn, and to appreciate the differences between information, knowledge, and wisdom. Therefore, we encourage students to develop productive habits of mind so that they can think independently, be courageous in their consideration of new ideas, and be capable of reaching beyond the set curriculum to the world outside the classroom. Our academic results speak for themselves. In 2017, of the 172 girls who completed the VCE or International Baccalaureate, 66% achieved an ATAR of 90+, placing them in the top 10% of the country, 45% achieved an ATAR of 95+ and 10% achieved an ATAR of 99+, placing them in the top 1% of the country. Our experience has shown that PLC's outstanding results are achieved by pursuing a broad and balanced program of curricular and co-curricular activities. Students are encouraged and expected to pursue their interests and to develop a range of abilities. Students who achieve the highest results are invariably enthusiastic in activities beyond their academic program – sport, music, dance, theatre, craft, community service, and outdoor pursuits. With the support and encouragement of staff, peers and parents, PLC girls flourish academically and personally in a learning community that is diverse, challenging, celebratory, and life-affirming.

The health center provides minimal health services and arranges off-campus medical care when needed. In September 1961, the first students stepped onto the grounds of a spacious, lake-centered campus that had been named St. Andrews Presbyterian College only a short time earlier. Long before the arrival of those first students, Presbyterians across North Carolina, laity and clergy, had committed themselves to this new adventure in higher education. The history of St. Andrews began in 1896 with the founding of Flora Macdonald College in Red Springs, NC. In 1958, Flora Macdonald College merged with Presbyterian Junior College in Maxton, NC, to establish St. Andrews. In 1996, St. Andrews celebrated the Centennial Anniversary of its heritage by hosting various events and celebrations. In honor of the occasion, 800 plus alumni, faculty, students, staff, and friends gathered for this birthday party to recognize the three institutions' shared history. The history of St. Andrews offers a consistent record of academic innovation, recognitions, and accomplishments far out of proportion to the college's small size and limited human and financial resources. It has repeatedly demonstrated an ability to recognize needs that were not being met by the prevalent higher education cannon of pedagogical strategies, texts, programs, or assumptions. It has also combined its visionary thinking with successful academic planning to translate insights into concrete, efficacious higher education innovation. Andrews University, a branch of Webber International University. As part of the transition from college to university, St. Andrews offered its first graduate-level program, the Master of Business Administration program, starting in 2012. For over 50 years, St. Andrews has provided students with a close-knit educational environment that is slightly different from other small liberal arts and science schools. At St. Andrews, what you learn both inside and outside the classroom creates a sense of intellectual and social engagement that will empower you to make a difference in your community, profession, and the world.

In September 1961, the first students stepped onto the grounds of a spacious, lake-centered campus that had been named St. Andrews Presbyterian College only a short time earlier. Long before the arrival of those first students, Presbyterians across North Carolina, laity and clergy, had committed themselves to this new adventure in higher education.

In 1958, Flora Macdonald College merged with Presbyterian Junior College in Maxton, NC, to establish St. Andrews.

It has also combined its visionary thinking with successful academic planning to translate insights into concrete, efficacious higher education innovation.

  9. In 1901, when the people were crying out "we have nowhere to go" as the nation was losing sovereignty and hope, God made way for Pyeongyang Theological Seminary, which grew into the Presbyterian University Theological Seminary. Now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, at this time of yet another crisis, we deeply desire to answer God's calling and to be used as His instrument once again. Missionary Moffett began teaching Chong-Sub Kim and Ki-Chang Pang at his home in Pyongyang in 1901. And in 1903, the Presbyterian Council decided to start theological education in Korea officially. Missionaries from each Presbyterian synod went to Pyongyang to teach a course designed to give three months of study and nine months of ministry in five years. In June of 1907, the first class of seven students graduated from the theological course, and among them were the first ordained pastors of Korea: Sun-Joo Kil, Suk-jin Han, and Ki-Pung Lee. The purpose of Presbyterian University and Theological Seminary, a theological educational institution of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Korea, under the aegis of the Department of Education of the Republic of Korea, is to provide higher education through nurturing leaders and ministers of the church in the foundation of biblical theology, in adherence to the confessions of faith and Constitution of the Presbyterian Church.

  12. Presbyterian Ladies' College Sydney is one of Australia's oldest and most respected schools for girls. PLC Sydney is a day and boarding school for girls from Pre-Kindergarten to Year 12. When PLC Sydney opened its doors for the first time in 1888, the entire school consisted of 39 girls. Today the College is home to nearly 1400 girls from just four years old to the young women who graduate in Year 12. Over its long history, the College has been transformed over and over again. Times change. Education has changed ... and keeps changing. Today's learning environment tools and opportunities would barely be recognizable to a graduate of only 30 years ago. Change is good, but some things do not – and should not – change. In what turned out to be an unusual opening day ceremony, the Governor of NSW invited his wife, Margaret Child-Villiers, the Countess of Jersey, to make an impromptu speech. The words she spoke were reported around the world. "To gain knowledge for the mere sake of possessing it is selfishness to gain knowledge for the mere love of displaying it is vanity to gain knowledge for the sake of being useful to others is true Christian charity." The Countess' spirit lives on in the College's commitment to achieving outstanding academic results and being a place where each girl is extended to grow into a confident, caring, and accomplished young woman of integrity. The Countess of Jersey would have approved. One of the things we have come to love about PLC Sydney is its gardens. Everyone who walks through this College moves through the dappled light from its wonderful old trees and shrubbery. The poet Gerard Manley Hopkins once wrote: "Glory be to God for dappled things." He expressed his wonder and gratitude for the variety of beauty and experience he found in Nature. Our gardens are an appropriate metaphor for our PLC Sydney community. With approximately 1350 students, boarders, and day girls, from a wide range of backgrounds and over fifty cultural groupings, and with provision for the ablest students and those with particular learning difficulties, we can claim to be one of the truly international, proudly comprehensive schools in the country. We welcome all students regardless of their academic ability, all of whom are regarded as valuable members of our school community and whose development is essential. PLC Sydney provides many opportunities for students to find their niche and learn new skills while also engendering the intellectual and personal vitality required for life after school. Our courses' scope is impressive by any standard: 18 School Certificate courses and 26 Higher School Certificate courses, including five languages. University entrance rates are equally encouraging, particularly given our comprehensive entry. A pattern has developed where between 45 percent and 60 percent of the graduating Year 12 receive ATARs of 90 or over. We seek to be a College that achieves both excellence and what we call 'reach'. Students can achieve excellence academically and in co-curricular endeavors. Yet we also set as our task to enable each student to achieve her best. PLC Sydney is a school of the Presbyterian Church of Australia in the State of NSW. It welcomes all girls to a caring Christian environment that encourages excellence in all areas of life. The College will encourage each individual to: develop a Christian worldview become a young woman of integrity with a sense of purpose achieve full potential in all areas of endeavor develop agency the capacity to make good choices achieve proficiency and confidence in communication, problem-solving, and the use of new technologies attain self-confidence and develop an enthusiastic commitment to excellence develop an understanding of and respect for the values of others acquire the skills needed to use leisure time in a fulfilling, responsible, and creative fashion please contribute to the well-being of her local, national, and international community develop a keen and life-long pursuit of learning. Our values are based on a Christian world view and expressed through four core ideals. We strive to provide an environment where the following values underpin all endeavors and relationships in the College: Grace: the underlying framework for our College is that each student realizes that there are circumstances beyond their control in their lives for which they are genuinely grateful. They are who they are because of the grace of God, the love of their families, and the support and enabling of others. An attitude of Reverence: (deep respect tinged with awe) for God's word and the beauty and wonder of the natural world and humanity. With this attitude, we view the world with inspiration and hope, undertake our endeavors with passion, and base our relationships on respect for ourselves and others. The pursuit of Wisdom: which begins with a spirit of inquiry for knowledge and truth and, through discipline and challenge, leads to well-considered judgment. Participation in Service: to make a difference in the world. Contributing to communities builds personal character through understanding and compassion and fulfills the obligations and responsibilities of citizenship.
  13. Presbyterian Ladies’ College was founded in 1915 and has since sustained an international reputation for academic excellence and outstanding success in preparing young women to lead active purposeful lives. Evidence of our Scottish heritage is apparent throughout the beautiful Peppermint Grove campus and the distinctive Blackwatch tartan uniform and PLC Pipe Band. However, perhaps the most significant legacy of our Scottish tradition is a belief in educational excellence, combined with a whole-of-person approach to intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual development. Today this continues to be the philosophical foundation on which a PLC education is based. At PLC, every girl is given the opportunity to: Develop an appreciation of intellectual challenge and a love of lifelong learning Gain the confidence to question, challenge, and be creative Give and receive warmth and human understanding Belong to a community in which to experience the beauty and joy of life itself. PLC students are encouraged to become critical and compassionate thinkers, assume responsibility for their learning, and be informed and engaged participants in local and global issues. Underlying these precepts is the conviction that women can, and should, make a difference in the world. At PLC, we measure our achievements through theirs. PLC Perth is more than a School. When your daughter joins us, your entire family becomes a member of a community rich in history, strong in its commitment to the values of compassion and respect, dedicated to intellectual challenge and inquiry, and which has a culture of participation, resilience, and courage. Our Founders’ values – integrity, learning, community, and effort – forged 105 years ago remain true to PLC Perth today. We educate girls to be global citizens and empower them to lead a principled life. PLC Perth is the only girls’ school in Western Australia to offer three tertiary education pathways – the world-recognized International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma program, the WA Certificate of Education (WACE), and the vocational education pathway. In our Junior School, our IB Primary Years Programme is a curriculum and pedagogy that focuses on developing the whole child – academically and social-emotionally. Our world-class well-being center – the PLC Lighthouse – delivers the health and well-being curriculum in a state-of-the-art facility where the focus is on feeling good, functioning well, and doing good for others. With its gymnasium, circuit and movement rooms, and well-being spaces, students are encouraged to use them before and after school, during study and lunch breaks. Presbyterian Ladies’ College is a Uniting Church School committed to an excellent, well-rounded educational experience that gives every girl confidence and empowers her to lead a principled life and make an active contribution to the community. PLC is: a school for a diverse and exceptional education that is innovative, vibrant, challenging, and fosters personal excellence. A community of friends, which is secure, inclusive, and values of the individual. An enduring legacy of values such as integrity, learning, community, and effort. A culture of learning for life and spiritual inquiry where character and leadership are nurtured to serve and shape the world. Vision: Providing opportunities for generations of girls to discover their uniqueness and have the courage to strive to live by their convictions and realize their potential. PLC is a values-based community. Staff, students, and parents subscribe to our values upon becoming members of the College. These values provide the compass by which community members come together to support one another and be of service to others. Taken together, our values create an enabling environment to meet the School’s Statement of Purpose: Presbyterian Ladies’ College is a Uniting Church School committed to an excellent, well-rounded educational experience that gives every girl confidence and empowers her to lead a principled life and make an active contribution towards the community. Strong ethical values make truth, compassion, respect, and moral courage highly-valued attitudes that are modeled every day. Integrity and a strong sense of social justice are particularly demonstrated through a commitment to celebrating diversity, including reconciliation for indigenous peoples of Australia and striving for equal opportunities for women. We learn and explore intellectual challenges and are inspired to value learning as inquirers, thinkers, risk-takers, communicators, and self-reflection. Students develop an understanding of themselves, their community, and the world around them through a balance of academic, social, cultural, and spiritual inquiry and physical pursuits. We value participation as an active means of making friends and building mutual understanding, showing care, support, respect, and an open mind to recognize everyone’s value and contributions. The value of belonging to a community accepts rights and responsibilities and recognizes that with privilege comes an individual and collective responsibility for the common good. We recognize that little is achieved without effort, and we encourage students to strive and achieve their best. Confidence, resilience, and boldness develop through a culture of participation, a get-up-and-go attitude, having the courage to try new things, managing unfamiliar situations, learning from mistakes in a supportive environment, and having opportunities to discover personal strengths.
  14. Nurtured within a Christian environment, girls are encouraged to develop a respect and concern for others, acquire leadership skills and self-discipline, and have a sensitive, informed understanding of other cultures.

PLC's Early Learning Centre (ELC) provides an exceptional educational experience of depth and quality for pre-school girls and boys from six months old to school age, and for older children, innovative kindergarten programs. Set on the beautiful grounds of the PLC campus, the ELC is colorful and spacious, with innovative design features that align with a child's view of the world. Our unique, inquiry-based approach embraces the many languages of childhood and encourages children to become enthusiastic participants and communicators, actively contributing to their learning. Children's natural curiosity is nurtured and stimulated in an environment that owes much to the Reggio Emilia approach to learning. The children are encouraged to make discoveries, develop theories, imagine, explore, and interpret. Our indoor and outdoor programs promote a love of learning, independence, co-operation, and confidence. Each day is filled with opportunities for sharing, laughing, running, singing, dancing, collaborating, experimenting, creating, and expressing ideas. The staff at our ELC are highly qualified in the early childhood field. They include experienced kindergarten teachers and other early childhood professionals specifically selected for their ability to develop warm, sensitive relationships with the children in their care. Access to Junior School facilities, resources, and specialist staff complement the programs for the three-year-old Kindergarten and four-year-old Pre-Prep children. Music, library, computer literacy, the physical education program, swimming, guest performers, and excursions further enhance our pre-schoolers' learning experience. It is a dynamic and vibrant learning community with a rich educational environment that helps establish strong foundations for learning and life beyond the classroom. In the Junior School, we believe the best education evolves within rich relationships, where students feel safe and secure and have a strong sense of belonging. It is an environment where each girl's contribution is valued and develops a sustained enthusiasm for learning. We encourage and enable girls to gain a strong understanding of their world. We support the girls as they progress on their journey to Senior School by developing the whole person physically, academically, socially, and spiritually. Friendships are essential for all ages, and we foster opportunities for the girls to work collaboratively and build inclusive relationships. The Christian values of love, kindness, care, and respect underpin all we do at PLC. PLC is an outstanding learning community for students and teachers alike. We seek to develop a love of learning in our students that will enrich their whole lives and prepare them to be active citizens of the future. In a rapidly changing, information-rich world, students need to acquire the capacity to be discerning learners: to absorb, question, challenge, and reflect upon what they learn, and to appreciate the differences between information, knowledge, and wisdom. Therefore, we encourage students to develop productive habits of mind so that they can think independently, be courageous in their consideration of new ideas, and be capable of reaching beyond the set curriculum to the world outside the classroom. Our academic results speak for themselves. In 2017, of the 172 girls who completed the VCE or International Baccalaureate, 66% achieved an ATAR of 90+, placing them in the top 10% of the country, 45% achieved an ATAR of 95+ and 10% achieved an ATAR of 99+, placing them in the top 1% of the country. Our experience has shown that PLC's outstanding results are achieved by pursuing a broad and balanced program of curricular and co-curricular activities. Students are encouraged and expected to pursue their interests and to develop a range of abilities. Students who achieve the highest results are invariably enthusiastic in activities beyond their academic program – sport, music, dance, theatre, craft, community service, and outdoor pursuits. With the support and encouragement of staff, peers and parents, PLC girls flourish academically and personally in a learning community that is diverse, challenging, celebratory, and life-affirming.
  15. The Guild, or house system, helps girls develop friendships across year levels by participating in sporting, artistic, and community events. At PLC Armidale, we encourage a sense of community and appreciation of the Christian character of service. Community engagement and student leadership encourage our students to develop a range of skills and talents. By providing a connected and safe environment, we support our students' personal and academic growth.
