At Chatham Grammar we offer our students a wide variety of stimulating and motivating opportunities to achieve outstanding academic outcomes, and develop high quality thinking, learning and communication skills and in doing so build a secure foundation for a positive and successful life. We recognise the enormous social and emotional pressures that are put on young women today, and our priority and commitment is to ensure that our students develop healthy inquisitive minds, and that academic success is achieved within a nurturing environment.
Essentially Chatham Grammar is a supportive, friendly place, which fosters excellent and secure relationships between students and staff – our young people are happy, confident and resilient. Our goal is to ensure that our students go out into the world with the ability to deal confidently with all the experiences that come their way.
Chatham Grammar students enter university and the professional work place full of passion, and with aspiration, self-belief and high self esteem of what they can achieve.
In Year 7, we begin the journey to success by discovering the individual talents of our students through our Year 7 curriculum, enabling a smooth transition from primary to secondary education.
Students are supported from early beginnings to successfully engage with all the changes and opportunities that life in Chatham Grammar will offer.
